About the USMNT
Gio Reyna makes his way back to the pitch for the Americans, and his presence will be a shot in the arm for a team that’s filled to the brim with young talent but has lacked a consistent starting lineup. Reyna, Weston McKinnie, and Christian Pulisic make up a young core that could lead the U.S. for years. However, the Eagles would be wise to take Japan seriously, especially as the team has questions about their goalkeeper position.
Jon Champion will be on the call for ESPN with USMNT vet Taylor Twellman on commentary and Sam Borden providing additional reporting.
Following next week’s friendly against Saudia Arabia, the national team will turn all of its attention to the Qatar World Cup. The USMNT opens up Group B action on Nov. 21 against Wales, then takes on England on Nov. 25, and Iran on Nov. 29.
