Japan under Moriyasu looks more and more like a team with a clear identity, a set style of play, and a group of players who are smart enough to absorb a tactical plan and skilled enough to pull it off. Berhalter and USMNT look like they're still flinging s--- at the wall and hoping something sticks. And that is DAMNING.
Nah, Moriyasu is definitely sh*t as well. You should have noticed America pushed us in the 2nd half because America changed the formation from 4-1-4-1 to 3-2-5 during build up play. We should have dealt with it immediately but Moriyasu did nothing so we were in danger in the 2nd half.
Funny you say that cuz Moriyasu (or Poichi as we call him), has no idea what he is doing. All he does is stand there and take "memos" of the match. It's really the player's actually doing it themselves. He's so bad that Hasebe (former captain and now plays for Frankfurt with Kamada) had to travel with the team.
No, Moriyasu is very conservative always like to stick with older players and formations rather then evolve the younger players and switching as well as taking risks, even in Japan he is very unpopular. Because of this Japan lost to Tunisia, a team which we should have easily beaten. The JFA needs reform especially the head needs to resign and let young people in charge to evolve Japanese football.
Hello I am japanese👋 America has a lot of young and good players, I think they will definitely surprise the world at the 2026 World Cup in their home country🇺🇸‼︎
As a Brazilian national , I always root for Brazil , but I also love usa and Japan , in this particular game I was going for Japan , I just love their collective game
The shortest dwarf team in World Cup history is Japan. Among the participating countries in the 2022 Qatar World Cup, the Dwarf team must be Japan, right?
USA is not match for top powerful Japan. Japan has one of the toughest training speed, endurance, ball control, constant pressing(like the Koreans) accuracy, plans, & techniques in football. Easy win.
So many players on the US needed to shine in this game, and other than Matt Turner, they were all just...invisible. This is the most depressing US game since they lost to T&T. Just awful.
Japan has top players in each club. Kamada and Frankfurt won the uel league. Mitoma is a new but talented player, Kubo is a barcelona academy dropout, Wataru Endo the captain from Stuttgart and many more. I laugh when Americans think they are strong. Pulisic is still worse than kamada.
@@Nobuxia XD, pretty much, I'm not american but I lived on the U.S, since my country didn't make it to the group phase, so I thought "well, I know Americans kinda suck as football, but they have a solid line up, they can do something!" And goddamm, they play good but dunno, is like if they lack cohesion or they are well coordinate as a team for what I saw
You can tell the reality of the WC is creeping in on the USMNT. From the coach on down they look anxious. This is what you worked your whole life for but you’re not ready for the moment. It shows. They will get exposed as an average team during the WC. I don’t care about their world ranks, their play doesn’t warrant them being that high.
the score definitely didn't represent how one sided that game was. japan utterly choked them of build up play and opportunity and punished sloppy passes by the US in the midfield and defence. well done japan and a deserved win.
Half the players on the current squad couldn't hit the ocean with a pass from five yards out, and people here think they're gonna spring a surprise or two in Qatar 😭
Japan completely outclassed us. 16 shots to 4. 8 on goal and 0 on goal for us. Congrats to Japan. World Cup is not looking good for USA. If we get eliminated in group stage then I hope Japan do well!
Good luck to Japan and USA - two countries that I’ve lived and played football in (both call it soccer :) The physicality of the Japanese players was impressive and the skill from the American players was impressive too. It’s usually the other way around!
Americans only play sports that are not popular outside of USA, such as American football, basketball and baseball, rather than football, which is the most popular sport in the world.
US deserved to be down 0-3 by 25 minutes in. You can't just gift the ball to the other team over and over on your own defensive half ! And then there defensive shape and technique was also wrong. That 2nd goal the defender executed completely incorrectly, seeming to usher the attacker to the middle for an easy shot.... And those passes weren't slightly off - they were awful. They were missing own players by yards. Whatever chemistry and energy the US had a while back seems completely gone now.
England presses high, Wales can press high as well. This was an overall poor performance that exposed this team. People sleep on Japan. Iran can turn up also.
Mitoma is such a gem. He played really well in the World Cup and is currently on fire with Brighton. I can see Brighton finishing top 6 or maybe even top 4 if they keep Mitoma
I don’t know. I kind of feel like soccer fans don’t really “see” the world properly. I bet many American authentic soccer fans did not look down on Japan. It shows in stats and Japanese talents in Europe. I think it’s only the few fans with loud voices believing Japan is a downgrade. Maybe because of their physical appearance. I mean we Japanese look skinny for sure haha
******(USMNT)******** The USMNT just keep passing the BALL AROUND 2 each other, the USMNT is NOT really MOVING the Ball FORWARD enough All the USMNT ball PASSING does is PASSING the ball AROUND 2 (EACH other) instead of REALLY creating REAL OFFENSE chances!
Pathetic performance by the USMNT. Gutless and spineless. Horrible management by GGG too. Japan played very well and look good. Head and shoulders better on the day.
McKenney gave the ball up repeatedly and then literally walked back on defense. That sort of laziness is going to see us out of the tournament in a hurry. I think maybe some of the US players think they're all that because they play in big leagues. They need to be a lot hungrier.
We blame the defenders, but our priorities are wrong, our midfielders are weaker than our DF line. They didn't come down at all, and when they did, they were crushed by Endo and Morita.
Gregg's remarks and body expression during the post-press conference indicate his players are not reacting to his game plan and are anxious and unconfident. It's too late to evaluate players. You should have your 26 players already in place. This shows your inexperience!
I don't really watch CONCACAF. Is the US bad at dealing with high pressure or it was just this match? That time Chile won 7-0 against México they also crumbled against high pressure. Is this a CONCACAF thing? Are your teams not used to this playstyle?
Lol he was so open for the first goal, where was right back and zimmermann shudve been there at least too, not to mention ehat a terrible loss of possession as well
The fact there are 320 million people in the US and yet only 54K people have viewed this video tells you a lot. US Soccer - you really need to take an advertising campaign.
predictable results. lazy play in the back and relying on athletes to play soccer. when will we finally get a coach that can find footballers to play soccer. I can't wait to see US exit world cup quickly. Yawn.
Soccer is a rich man sport in America compared to football and basketball. Plenty of talent in refugee areas. Are they willing to spend money on requirement is the question.
The USA CBs are sooo bad... their fullbacks also don't wide for them, but still. If Zimmerman starts in a WC, it's over. Being a Brazilian-American is awesome and depressing at the same time.
On the US side, only Matt Turner plays decent this game. The number 9 is horrible at a 9. The formation really doesn't fit the player, what wrong with the coach?
I am from England.... I am a Very Big Japan, South Korea and USA supporter!....I am very sorry to say the U.S are going to be out of the World Cup very early if they continue to play this rubbish! England and Wales will take the U.S apart! U.S should learnt their lesson from losing to Costa Rica, instead of celebrating Qualifing for the World Cup!! You need to bring back Klinsmann and Bobby Woods! There still enough time to intensively Conditioning on Bobby!! Klinsmann never got the chance just to have a better talented Squad....It's a shame Clint has retired!
Berhalter is incompetent. The USMNT program was set back 2 decades when we didn't qualify for the last WC. Why not make it 3 with Berhalter running the show?
Moriyasu prefers Maeda to Kyogo because Germany and Spain are stronger than us. In this JP team, even FW needs to chase the ball whole the game...Maeda is the one who can do the role.
This feels like it was a game where the USA did no tactical research on Japan or their players, not even UA-cam, and Japan did allll the research on ggg and our players
I don't think Japan did a whole lot of research/analysis on the US team either. It is difficult to do when you play preparation matches such as these. Japan did well because they simply played their game as they normally do using their talented quick speed and aggressively pressuring the opponent.
@@Kobebok248 I think you are right...Japan had so many plans and tactics and they read the game well....USMNT were still trying to feel the game into the end.
@@simplified7815 No they did... They had the long meeting time than spending time with their field training before this match. The Japanese national team is tactical and brainy.
Congratulations to Japan from Afghanistan 🇦🇫
I'll support u in world Cup 2022

This was the first real test this team faced. This was almost Japans A-Team

STEEL GRADE SCOUTING AND OBJECTIVE PROSPECTUS.
Japan so full of ideas going forward, unlucky to be beaten by belgium 4(5) yrs ago( a bit naive in defense), hope they could do better this time
Did America underestimate Japan? Japan is a regular country in the World Cup. Soccer has teams all over the world, not just in Europe.
Asian WC qualifier is very easy
@@waiha-tomotaro5528 nah the north america~central america league is much easier
In North, Central America, and the Caribbean, Mexico is the only team that stands out.

Japan used us for shooting practice lol ... worried about our team :/
Thanks for posting. Sometimes a slap in the face is what's needed!
Man, we suck. Always have, always will, but I’ll keep watching.
i love us fans 🤣 from Paris
Keep the faith
Should've been at least 4 - 0
just seeing this after US qualifies and Japan wins their group..
damn the US team just has zero chemistry. would be losing 6-0 if it wasn’t for turner at keeper
All of the usmnt players give off the cockiest vibes, still haven’t done anything on the international stage to prove that lol
Half the players on the current squad couldn't hit the ocean with a pass from five yards out, and people here think they're gonna spring a surprise or two in Qatar 😭
They are princesses with copious amounts of smoke blown up their ass. Fucking pathetic as usual from US soccer.

Japan has a smart playing team
Americans only play sports that are not popular outside of USA, such as American football, basketball and baseball, rather than football, which is the most popular sport in the world.
Gonna say it now. JAPAN Issa world cup threat.
Japan did not deal with America at all. Press is what we do all the time.
US deserved to be down 0-3 by 25 minutes in. You can't just gift the ball to the other team over and over on your own defensive half ! And then there defensive shape and technique was also wrong.

Since no team in the group stage presses like Japan, I don't think we need to worry about it.
England presses high, Wales can press high as well. This was an overall poor performance that exposed this team. People sleep on Japan. Iran can turn up also.
Mitoma is such a gem. He played really well in the World Cup and is currently on fire with Brighton. I can see Brighton finishing top 6 or maybe even top 4 if they keep Mitoma
yeah he is crazy.
当たってるやん
Really needed to improve the defense
0:56 looks like you have a Harry Maguire on your team 😂
Japan dominated the match.
Too bad Donovan is no longer playing.
He was a good player.
Donovan or Dempsey wouldn’t do shit playing under Berhalter
He should be our manager…
I think this usa team won’t make it out to the knockout stage of the world cup
Turner is a beast, but he shouldn't have to work that hard. Tighten up fellas.
Key difference... Japan has a decent coach... we have the equivalent of a Harry Maguirre in the coach world...
In Japan Many ppl say Moriyasu is incompetent
If they keep giving the ball away like this in the world cup, they will only play 3 games in quatar
The USA may consider Japan a downgrade, but why do they think a team that didn't even make it to the World Cup will beat last year's best 16?
USA sucks, Japan is way better
I don’t know. I kind of feel like soccer fans don’t really “see” the world properly. I bet many American authentic soccer fans did not look down on Japan.

Easy win as I expected.
WITH THE TOURNAMENT SHIFTING TO NOVEMBER, IT APPEARS TO BE HAVING AN EFFECT PSYCHOLOGICALLY.
ADAPTABILITY ACTIVATES LONGEVITY.
With this im 100% sure we can say goodbye to USA there is no way they going to advance to round of 16
We blame the defenders, but our priorities are wrong, our midfielders are weaker than our DF line. They didn't come down at all, and when they did, they were crushed by Endo and Morita.
