Kamada, W. Endo, R. Doan; T. Minamino, T. Kubo; A. Ueda.<\/p>\n<p>The man to see in this conflict is, on the one hand, Christian Pulicich, who has established himself as USMNT&#8217;s most important offensive player, and players who are trying to establish themselves with national teams such as Diego Luna and Alejandro Zendejas, can bring surprises to the team to enjoy this enthusiastic, long-awaited encounter.<\/p>\n<p>While on a Japanese team, Mitoma has proven to be a very versatile player with pace and speed, so American defenses need to pay particular attention to running on the left flank. Another interesting player is Kubo, but the latter may not play due to an ankle injury<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">How will the team arrive?<\/h2>\n<p>The US was defeated against South Korea, but Japan managed a very positive draw against Mexico, dominated the game throughout the first half, ending it with a greater sense of danger.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/football\/2025\/09\/08\/68befceb46163f7d0c8b45af.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>tHe continues to suffer with USMNT with the team.
