USA coach Bob Bradley is confident Schalke's Jermaine Jones will get much better with more international experience.

The 28-year old German-born midfielder was impressive in his first match for the USA, a 2-2 draw with Poland, but was involved in the piece of play that allowed the Poles to net an equaliser 17 minutes from time.

But Bradley was content with Jones' performance and said he would be able to grow as he played with his teammates more.

"It's still going to take time how he meshes on the field," Bradley said. "There were some stretches in the game where we all saw some very good plays [from Jones]. He had a great ball on the first goal. Still, it's going to take some time as far as overall movement and coordination because I still think he can be better."

Jones admitted his decision to try and take on a Polish player when he had the ball in defence was a poor one but insists it was only due to inexperience with his new colleagues.

"It was just a little bit of a misunderstanding," Jones said through a translator after the match. "I looked over at [goalkeeper Tim Howard] and didn't see the guy [Polish player] coming in from the backside. It was just a little bit of a mix-up between playing with some guys for the first time."
