What the USMNT should expect from Japan after a subpar loss to South Korea

The United States Men's National Team (USMNT) will face a challenging match against Japan, another East Asian powerhouse, following a subpar loss to South Korea. Japan, known as the Samurai Blue, may not have a player of the caliber of Christian Pulisic, but their roster is filled with talented players performing at high levels.
