Slovenia video on: 2010 FIFA World Cup: Slovenia v USA 2-2

2010 FIFA World Cup: Slovenia v USA 2-2 In this twenty-second match video, we relive the game played between Slovenia & USA. Michael Bradley struck a dramatic late equaliser as the United States came from two goals down to draw with Slovenia in a pulsating Group C encounter in Johannesburg. It seemed Slovenia were heading through to the last 16 when the superb Valter Birsa put them ahead with a curling effort and Zlatan Ljubijankic drilled in to double the lead shortly before half-time. But US coach Bob Bradley made a double change at the interval and the move paid immediate dividends, Landon Donovon racing clear on the right and firing high into the roof of the net. Slovenia were now firmly on the back foot and the US pressure finally told as Michael Bradley, the son of Bob, poked past Samir Handanovic on 82 minutes. The Americans thought they had won it through substitute Maurice Edu's volley but the strike was harshly ruled out by referee Koman Coulibaly for an alleged pull and the US players were furious. It was a result that leaves the group wide open ahead of England's meeting with Algeria later on Friday and the final round of matches at 1500 BST on Wednesday. The US, who are on two points, take on Algeria in Pretoria and surprise package Slovenia, on four points, play England in Port Elizabeth. And both sides will go into their respective games with confidence following this thriller at Ellis Park. Fresh from beating Algeria in their opening game last Sunday, Slovenia arrived knowing a win would seal ... From: comfortablynumb1975x Views: 18 0 ratings Time: 08:13 More in Sports Keep Reading

Germany video on: 2010 FIFA World Cup: Germany v Serbia 0-1

2010 FIFA World Cup: Germany v Serbia 0-1 In this twenty-first match video, we relive the game played between Germany & Serbia. Serbia brought 10-man Germany crashing back down to earth with a narrow win in Port Elizabeth that blows qualification from Group D wide open. An opening-game rout of Australia had German fans and critics predicting a run deep into the World Cup tournament, with national newspaper Bild declaring: "We're going to blow you all away". But Serbia were always likely to prove a different proposition to a weak Australia side forced to play more than half an hour a man down, and after frontman Miroslav Klose had been harshly dismissed for two bookings in the first half, Germany failed to rally sufficiently to force an equaliser against Radomir Antic's stubborn side. Liverpool-bound Milan Jovanovic proved the match-winner with a 35th-minute volley, but in truth the result was as much down to the Germans' poor finishing - not least from Lukas Podolski who missed a penalty amid a hatful of chances. And referee Alberto Undiano Mallenco of Spain played no small part in influencing proceedings with a series of baffling decisions and yellow cards. It means Germany, Serbia and Ghana all stand on three points ahead of the Africans' second group match against the Aussies on Saturday. Germany, though, will feel aggrieved at a result that almost entirely centred around Klose's dismissal. For the first half hour before that, in the face of a Serbian defence far more disciplined than the Australian backline ...
