SheBelieves 2019 match preview: USA vs Japan

It’s time for SheBelieves, the USWNT’s annual high profile friendly mini-tournament! Well, one of them. This year, the United States will be taking on Japan, England, and Brazil, all of them World Cup teams. SheBelieves might be a ticket seller for US Soccer, but it’s also great World cup preparation. Japan in particular is of interest to the team and fans alike; obviously, they were favorites to win in 2015 and were winners themselves in 2011, so the pressure is high for Japan to advance deep into the WWC.
