How Eagles Can Beat Japan
Can the USA beat Japan?
That’s the big question, to be answered tonight at Bonney Field in Sacramento.
Balancing Games and Training
The USA doesn’t get a full week between games in the Pacific Nations Cup, given that they played on Saturday and now play tonight, the following Friday.
That means that the Eagles has a recovery day on Sunday, and a captain’s run on Thursday, leaving them just Monday-Wednesday for on-field work, and usually there’s time off schedule in that.
A Look at Eagle Changes
Mike Tolkin’s changes in the USA lineup for Friday night’s clash with Japan in Sacramento is a reflection mostly of his desire to test players, but that doesn’t mean winning isn’t important.
Petri Earns 50th in Japan Test
