U.S. midfielder DaMarcus Beasley: You learn more from a loss than a win

Following his team's 3-0 loss to Brazil U.S. midfielder DaMarcus Beasley is looking to see how his team can learn from their defeat ahead of next year's World Cup. "Obviously when you play a good opponent you have to be good from the first minute of the game." Beasley said. "Like Bob (Bradley) said, we were a little tentative, we didn't get off on the right foot, they scored a quick goal and that was it.

"It's all about experience. We have a few guys who have been through World Cups and these types of tournaments, and they know what to expect, but as a team and as a whole, we all can gain experience. Getting another year under our belt will help, and we still have a lot of work to do before we play in the World Cup. You learn more from a loss than from a win and from these games we can look at what we need to do to achieve more and get better."
