USA boss Jurgen Klinsmann: 'I'm not mad at players after Brazil defeat'

Klinsmann: 'I'm not mad at Brazil defeat'

USA head coach Jurgen Klinsmann has insisted that he is not "mad" at any of his players after they suffered a heavy defeat to Brazil on Wednesday.

Neymar scored twice, while Hulk and Rafinha also struck to give their nation a 4-1 win over the USA, who scored a consolation goal through Danny Williams.

Despite picking up the damaging scoreline on home turf in Foxboro, Massachusetts, Klinsmann has claimed that his team can use it as a learning experience.

"For us, it's a huge learning curve for all the players who were on the field to experience that," Klinsmann told reporters. "I'm not mad at anybody. It was just a completely different tempo that they set and we couldn't go that tempo - they're not used to that."

The USA's next game is against Mexico on October 10.
