CLEVELAND -- Jurgen Klinsmann wants the United States to face the best teams in the world prior to next year's World Cup in Brazil.After the Americans were destroyed by Belgium 4-2 in Wednesday night's friendly at FirstEnergy Stadium, it's clear to see that the United States is not quite ready to compete with the top-ranked nations.Belgium forwards Kevin Mirallas, Marouane Fellaini and Christian Benteke took advantage of U.S. defensive mistakes to make it an ugly night for the hosts. Geoff Cameron and Clint Dempsey scored for the Yanks. It was the first time the Americans had conceded three or more goals since a year ago, May 30, 2012, when they were crushed 4-1 by Brazil in another high-profile friendly on U.S. soil.The United States will face the world's second-best team in Germany in Washington D.C. on Sunday followed by three World Cup qualifying matches.Klinsmann entered Cleveland with question marks surrounding his back four and he walked away without any answers after a shaky performance that included multiple mistakes that led to goals.Right after striker Jozy Altidore failed to finish a golden opportunity from right in front of the visitors' net, the Europeans went on the counterattack and capitalized on their first chance of the night.Goalkeeper Tim Howard met Romelu Lukaku at the ball and the U.S. defenders failed to clear the rebound, leaving Mirallas with an opening to beat the on-looking duo of Cameron and Omar Gonzalez and chip the ball into the net. Mirallas celebrated by making the motion of hitting a baseball out of the park, while Howard screamed at the top of his lungs at his disappointing back line.However, Cameron would make up for his mistake on the offensive end moments later.The right back moved forward on a corner kick and headed in a beautiful assist from Dempsey, who headed the long corner back across the six-yard box. It was Cameron's first international goal of his career.The spotlight remained on the U.S. defenders as the teams started the second half tied at one goal apiece before another costly mistake set the tone for the second half.Despite being one of Klinsmann's most promising young players, Gonzalez handed Belgium a gift after playing a strong first touch right into the feet of Kevin De Bruyne, who delivered a cross to Benteke to take the lead. U.S. goalkeeper Brad Guzan, who had replaced Howard at halftime, had no shot of making a save as his Everton teammate was set up for a simple finish.And things would only get worse from then on as it only took eight minutes for Belgium to add another goal when Fellaini rose for a header at the back post off a brilliant cross-field feed from Steven Defour.Moments later, Defour would pick up another assist when he found the streaking Benteke on the right side of the pitch. The forward easily burned Beasley before beating Guzan.Klinsmann will more than likely rethink his back four ahead of the Germany game.Without Timothy Chandler and Steve Cherundolo, both of whom decided to stay in Germany where they play in the Bundesliga, Klinsmann started Cameron, Gonzalez, Beasley and Clarence Goodson. Prior to the game, Beasley was honored for earning his 100th cap with the national team. He became only the 13th U.S. international to accomplish the feat.One notable roster omission for the match was Landon Donovan, who is second all-time in U.S. soccer history with 144 international appearance, including 133 starts. The LA Galaxy midfielder had stepped away from the game for a few weeks after the 2012 MLS season wrapped up and hasn't played for the United States since.Also missing was captain Carlos Bocanegra, who has served as the team's captain since 2007 but lost his spot on the squad the last two sets of qualifiers. Klinsmann has turned to Dempsey to wear the armband.Proving his leadership on the pitch, Dempsey ran in for the spot kick after Eddie Johnson had drawn a handball in the box. The Texas native beat goalkeeper Simon Mignolet to the left for his 33rd career goal in international play.
