U.S. Vs. Japan: Who Has The Edge?

A quick look at who has the edge in Sunday's Women's World Cup final:

Attacking

Japan's passing game is the best in the world, and it will give the U.S. fits. Plus, the Japanese share the scoring as much as they share the ball, with captain Aya Miyama the only player to score more than one of the team's nine goals. Yet despite all that movement, Japan is averaging only 3.5 shots on goal per game, fewest of any team that made it past the second round. The U.S., meanwhile, appears to have found its stride offensively after freeing midfielder Carli Lloyd to join the attack.
