Just 180 minutes remain for the United States Men’s National Team to evaluate themselves ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. A friendly against Japan in Düsseldorf, Germany will offer Gregg Berhalter one of his final opportunities to see his team together on the field before deciding on his roster for Qatar in November.
While there’s still over six weeks until the actual tournament starts, the stakes for these next two friendlies are at a critical level with how out of wack the schedule is for this traditional event. The fringe spots are still likely up for grabs so there will be plenty to play for on both sides, which should make for a very competitive match.
