Can the USA beat Japan?
That’s the big question, to be answered tonight at Bonney Field in Sacramento.
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.
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.
