I think you can only find players that are actually online, and then you'd still have to know the lobby they're in. Pretty dumb. But once you've played someone you can bookmark them.
How on earth can you fail at these first levels? What skill level are you playing? Most common newbie errors are:
-not paying attention when you send units across the board (to prevent horrendous pathfinding errors)
-negating cover (units in 'green' cover are almost invincible against most weapons)
-not having a jeep or motorcycle ready to hunt down snipers or mortars
-not having your finger next to the 'retreat' button
There's also a specific problem with the americans: they suck. I forgot how to play them properly, but the main problem is that your opponent will have vehicles while you have no counters. Sticky bombs are not really a good option, you do need that AT gun. New players underestimate the value of armoured cars as well. If you play against real humans you'll see even more cars, be prepared.
The computer usually spams a lot of mortars. Have a quick unit ready to hunt them down, the AI never supports them properly.
