Japan Beach Soccer National Team vs. U.S. Beach Soccer National Team

Venue: Ginowan Tropical Beach, Okinawa
Comment of Marcelo Mendes, Japan Beach Soccer National Team Head Coach
These international friendlies will be very important contests for us. As we don't have much time left before the World Cup, I'm happy that we have a chance to play against a national team from outside of Japan.
I have an impression that the U.S. national team have players who have a high level in their fitness and are a very good team. Also, their playing style is similar to the teams that we will face in the World Cup, so it's an ideal opponent in order for us to develop our team towards the World Cup. I would like to see that our players will put up the best performance they can and win those two games before we enter the World Cup.
And I hope that a lot of fans will come to these games.
