3 matches in a row against Japan is real sicko stuff:

Fresh off a first-place finish at the SheBelieves Cup, the United States Women’s National Team is back in action and ramping up toward the fall’s CONCACAF W Championship that will determine World Cup qualifying. Japan is next on the docket for three consecutive friendlies, a scheduling curio which “presents a great challenge and a test against a top-quality opponent.” The Asian powerhouse is seeking to return to the elite level but has struggled to clinch silverware at international competitions. The first match is scheduled for PayPal Park in San Jose, California, an 18,000-seat venue with a hybrid surface; Lumen Field – a 68,740-seat arena in Seattle, Washington, with recently installed grass – hosts the second fixture; matchup number three will be at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colorado, which seats 18,350 spectators and has a Kentucky bluegrass pitch.
