Friendlies with Netherlands and Germany will prove whether the United States can "swim" against Europe's best, according to Jurgen Klinsmann.
The United States visits the Netherlands for an international friendly on Friday, and head coach Jurgen Klinsmann is keen to use the fixture as a measuring stick for the development of his players.
Klinsmann's men take on the Netherlands at the Amsterdam Arena as they make preparations for their defense of the CONCACAF Gold Cup, which starts on July 7.
The USA faces World Cup winner Germany five days after the meeting with Netherlands, and Klinsmann is relishing the chance to test his team's mettle against two of the best sides on the planet.
