The game should have great implications on the sport of soccer at the international and professional level for the winner. We are eight teams at this level. I think all the teams at this level have a chance to get a medal. Japan has a possibility and we have a lot of confidence. U.S. Olympic Head Coach Clive Charles was very straightforward in his assessment of Japan.
Japan is a very good team - well organized and well coached.
And probably it'll be the toughest game we've had to face. They have some very good players that we have to watch closely. They're very well organized with their set plays and free kicks. And we know that we will have to play very, very well to win tomorrow. Japan has a number of talents on its side with exceptional technique especially in the midfield.
