Japan's Daichi Kamada, right, and United States Weston McKennie challenge for the ball during the international friendly soccer match between USA and Japan as part of the Kirin Challenge Cup in Duesseldorf, Germany, Friday, Sept. 23, 2022. The U.S. men's national soccer team spent 90 of its final 180 minutes before theThe USMNT entered Friday's friendly buoyed by excitement and hope; a 2-0 loss, though, set off alarms. The Americans were sloppy.
Throughout the first half, it lost possession in its defensive half a whopping 54 times, more often than ever before under head coach Gregg Berhalter. The first problem might be a temporary one. Pulisic and Weah typically provide the vertical threat, running beyond striker Jesus Ferreira and behind an opposing back line. With both sidelined, Berhalter opted for Gio Reyna and Brenden Aaronson, who are brilliant players, but are also attacking midfielders who don't stretch the game.
