Shipping three goals is a rarity for USWNT, as ESPN's Paul Carr detailed:

The fact Japan managed what doesn't happen often is a testament to their free-flowing and expansive brand of football. They pass the ball quickly and intelligently between the lines, combining in mini triangles that always leave opponents chasing shadows.

But it's the subtle movement off the ball that really stands out about Japan's game. Their runs are expertly timed and always meant to exploit pockets of space in the final third.

Japan's equaliser in Colorado, courtesy of Fox Sports highlights relayed by Our Game Magazine, was the perfect illustration of their slick, pass-and-move game at its best:

WTA Insider Courtney Nguyen believes Japan's brand of football will be a big miss at the Rio Olympics:

Head coach Jill Ellis' squad is more direct, but it still boasts its own considerable attacking menace. Specifically, the Japanese couldn't cope with Alex Morgan last time out, as the striker bagged a brace.

Those goals pushed her single-year tally into double digits for the first time in a while, according to U.S. Soccer WNT:

Morgan can strike again, but even her prolific streak may not be enough to subdue a Japanese side playing some thrilling football at the moment. It will also be interesting to see how the USWNT approach the game after a federal judge ruled they can't go on strike before the Olympics over pay, per an AP report (h/t Fox Sports).

Prediction: USA 1-2 Japan
