Japan defeats the USMNT in World Cup warmup | Soccer Highlights | ESPN FC

P.M. IN CENTRAL EUROPE. IF YOU ARE JOINING US FAIRLY EARLY IN THE MORNING ON THE EAST COAST AND VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING. GETTING UP IN TIME WITH US IN THE WEST COAST. DEFENDER. AND MADE IT TO THE WORLD CUP WITH A DEGREE OF COMFORT. A CONVOLUTED PROCESS FROM ASIA. ITO IS THE RADAR AND ATOP OF THE TABLE. AND IN HIS WORDS TEARING IT UP THIS SEASON SO FAR. >> Taylor: DECISION MAKING IMPROVED. I THINK WITH GIOVANNI REYNA HAVING THE ABILITY TO COME INSIDE AND I’D BE SHOCKED IF WE DON’T SEE VINES MORE IN THE

FINAL THIRD. >> Jon: S CLEAR OPPORTUNITY. >> Taylor: FERREIRA IS HAVING ONE OF THE BEST SEASONS IN MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER. FIVE GOALS THIS YEAR FOR THE UNITED STATES AS A PROFESSIONAL. FOUR OF THOSE AGAINST AND IT ALLOWED JAPAN TO PLAY BETWEEN THEM TOO EASILY. >> Jon: IT’S A SIGNIFICANT DEPARTURE FOR JAPAN TO LINE UP LIKE THENTER BACK PARTNERSHIP AND WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE IN THE OPENING GAME IN THE WORLD CUP. WALKER ZIMMERMAN HAS GIVEN THE BALL AWAY TOO EASILY IN FROM IN FOOTBALL NOW. AND IF THERE IS ONE THING ABOUT JAPANESE FOOTBALL WORLDWIDE IS

THE DURABILITY AND RELIABILITY. ITO. MORITA. THERE’S THE CHANCE AND THERE’S THE OPENING GOAL! IT IS THAT MAN WHO HAS BEEN SUCH A THREAT. KAMADA. HE

WILL BE DENIED AND DISAPPOINTED BY THE OFFSIDE FLAG AS HE TURNED AWAY QUICKLY. >> Taylor: ITO HAD BOTH HANDS ON HIS HIPS THINKING HOW KAMADA BE IN AN OFFSIDE POSITION HERE. THAT IS EXTREMELY LIST OF THE MATCH OFFICIALS. AND ASKED IF V.A.R. WAS INVOLVED. THIS IS NOT CONCURRENT WITH THE ANSWER WE GOT. IT DOES MEAN THAT THE DEBATE GOES ON OVER THE VALIDITY OF THE GOAL. >> Taylor: THE QUESTION IS

IF IT IS >> Taylor: THIS IS THE BALL HERE WHERE KAMADA. LOOK AT THE LEFT FOOT OF WALKER ZIMMERMAN. THAT IS WHAT V. De La TORRE. ADAMS. McKENNIE. ZIMMERMAN. LOOKS BACK AT TURNER. DECIDED TO RUN ANOTHER OPTION WHICH IS McKENNIE. ENDO. >> Taylor: IT’S A SPRING IN THE STEP AND MORE SO DIVERSITY TO THE ATTACK. THERE IS ONE THING TO HAVE ENERGY AND ANOTHERbÑ>x THING WI MATT TURNER COMING UP WITH THE KUBO. KAMADA! IMPORTANT TOUCH BS OFF THE DECISION FROM THE DEFENDER FROM THE UNITED STATES. MARK McKENZIE. THAT BALL IS GOING OUT OF BOUNDS OR

PLAY BACK TO HIS GOALKEEPER. HE PLAYS SOMETHI IDENTICAL TO MOROCCO. >> Jon: ALMOST A HYBRID RIGHT BACK/RIGHT CENTER BACK. >> Taylor: YEAH. >> Jon: PLAYED SEVEN GAMES SO FAR THIS SEASON AT CENTRAL DEFENSE.IGIBILITY. HIS FATHER WAS BORN IN JAPAN. JAPAN LOOKING DANGEROUS! >> TayloAN HOLDING HIS HEAD BECAUSE MATT TURNER HELD. >> Taylor: WALKER ZIMMERMAN AND REGGIE CANNON. THE BALL POPS OUT TO THE SPACE THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN A DEADLINE OF NOVEMBER 14th TO NAME THE ROSTER. THAT’S THE ABSOLUTE LAST WHICH THEY CAN. THE EXPECTATION IS IT WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY EARLIER THAN THAT! >> Taylor: A

GLIMPSE OF WHAT KA BRENDEN AARONSON DID SINCE STEPPING FOOD IN LONDON WITH LEEDS. IT IS FULL TILT OF 90 MINUTES OF PURSUIT OF G ROBINSON IS NOT HE, THAT’S A REAL DILEMMA. NOW YOU WILL PLAY A RIGHT FOOTED PLAYER LEFT BACK. THAT LIMITS THE UNITED STATES IN THEIR ABILITY IN POSSESSION TO CREATEORLD CUP DEFEAT BACK IN ’98. OCTOBER HAS BEEN VERY MUCH INVOLVED WITH THE PLAYER. MATT TURNER CANMITOMA. THE MAN WHOSE GOALS TOOK JAPAN TO QATAR AND SEALED THIS VICTORY FOR THE SAMURAI BLUE. >> Taylor: HE WAS THE BEST OF 11 IN J-LEAGUE IN 2020.

HE HAS COME FORWARD TO SCORE GOALS. EIGHT CAPS FOR THE NATIONAL TEAM. HIS FIFTH GOAL. ONE IN WORLD CUP QUALIFYING. HE HAS BEEN
