<p>With both sides qualified for the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/category/world-cup-2022/">2022 World Cup</a>, the friendly pitting the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/nations/usmnt-tv-schedule/">USA</a> vs Japan now has coverage details.</p>
<p>By no means is this a competitive game. However, that does not mean it is insignificant. Both teams have this contest, then one more, before the World Cup in November. Therefore, this is a chance for both sides to see <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/2022/09/22/5-usmnt-players-who-have-most-to-prove/">what players fit in the best</a>. Plus, managers can begin to make a final decision as to who gets on <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/how-to-travel-to-qatar-for-world-cup-2022/">the plane to Qatar</a>.</p>
<p>This game, although it is USA vs Japan, actually takes place in Düsseldorf, Germany. A neutral site game before a <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/qatar-world-cup-2022-stadiums/">neutral site tournament</a>.</p>

<p>With the game happening in Germany, the 8:15 a.m. kickoff time for those on the east coast is the most practical overall. In Japan, the game does not start until 9:15 in the evening. Therefore, Germany, which is more or less in the middle of the two competing nations, puts the game on square in the middle of the day.</p>

<h5>USA vs Japan</h5>
<p>If anything, the USA vs Japan fixture just an opportunity for two sides to get experience in before returning back to the club side.</p>
<p>Remember, the World Cup is in November, and this game, as well as the following game against Saudi Arabia, is the last chance the USMNT has to play together in a live match until the World Cup opener against Wales.</p>

<h5>Previewing the fixture</h5>
<p>With only seven games on the Premier League schedule this weekend, Sunday’s Brentford-Arsenal clash is just one of two on Sunday. The reason a game like Chelsea-Liverpool is suspended while Brentford-Arsenal is not is because the former has simply more interest. The required police presence at Brentford’s stadium is considerably lower than that at Stamford Bridge. Therefore, less officers are required, and Brentford’s game can go on.</p>
<p>The game itself is something of an important London derby in the context of the season. Arsenal, which remains atop the Premier League table, dropped points for the first time in the 2022/23 campaign last time out. A defeat at Old Trafford halted what was a blistering start to the season. However, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/2022/09/09/the-queens-passing-suspends-all-epl-fixtures-through-monday/">after a week off</a> and a win in the Europa League just over a week ago, Arsenal is hungry. However, there may be some rust from the Gunners, missing out on its Europa League game midweek due to those same police concerns.</p>
<p>Brentford is performing admirably in the young season. Nine points through six games is good enough for eighth in the league, level with Liverpool. Plus, Brentford is a team that thrives at home. This season, Brentford has two wins and a draw at the Community Stadium. Those two wins came in routs against Manchester United and Leeds for a combined scoreline of 9-2.</p>
<h5>Coverage of the game</h5>
<p>With the early start of the fixture, which is noon over in London, there is no pregame coverage. Traditionally, the first Premier League game is at 7:30 a.m. ET, providing 30 minutes of coverage before kickoff.</p>
<p>However, the NBC crew wrapping up the game is still available with a game following at 9:15. For viewers on USA Network, the team behind the desk for postgame coverage is Rebecca Lowe, Tim Howard and Robbie Mustoe.</p>
