The U.S. men's soccer team has taken up residence in the Giants' clubhouse.
But Barry Bonds' corner Barcalounger is off limits, a security guard assured, as is something else that belongs to the third-leading home run hitter in major-league history.

"I'm just staying away from his medicine cabinet," U.S. midfielder Landon Donovan said with a sly grin.
The Americans, though, have the run of the rest of SBC Park in anticipation of tonight's friendly match against Japan.

"Japan has a good team - some young, exciting and attacking players - and it should be a fun game," U.S. coach Bruce Arena said. "I'm looking for a good game, a challenging game for our players, which I think we need. And if that's the case, it's going to certainly help me to evaluate some of our players."

The United States, which, with CONCACAF rival Mexico, is tied for seventh in the latest FIFA world rankings, already has played Canada to a scoreless draw and beat Norway 5-0 in the past month, thanks in part to a hat trick by forward Taylor Twellman, as part of preparation of this summer's World Cup in Germany.

The U.S. also will meet Guatemala in Frisco, Texas, on Feb. 19, Poland in Kaiserslautern, Germany, on March 1 and the World Cup host in Dortmund, Germany on March 22. Arena also said the U.S. plans to play three stateside exhibitions in May before he selects his 23-man roster.

Japan, ranked 15th, last played Nov. 16, beating Angola 1-0 in Tokyo.

The Americans and Japanese last met in the 2000 Olympics in Australia, the U.S. prevailing 5-4 on penalty kicks after a 2-2 draw.

"It was a fun game, a super-exciting game in a great little stadium, and they were a good team," Donovan said. "By all accounts, they could have been the champions ... we happened to squeak by them."

And they did not need the amenities of a medicine cabinet, either.
