FIFA World Cup 2010 is blazing the trails we are here to report happenings to you on USA:

2010 FIFA World Cup: USA v Algeria 1-0 In this thirty-eighth match video, we relive the game played between USA & Algeria. Landon Donovan’s dramatic stoppage-time goal secured a narrow victory over Algeria and fired the United States into the last 16 of the World Cup as group winners. The US were on the brink of going out of the competition when Donovan followed up a sharp save from goalkeeper Raid Ouheb M’bolhi in the 92nd minute to smash the ball home. Until that moment it had been a story of inspired saves from M’bolhi, poor American finishing and a lineman’s error, which denied Clint Dempsey a goal in the first half. But Donovan’s late intervention delivered a deserved victory, which pushed England into second place in Group C on goals scored following their 1-0 victory over Slovenia. The Algerians, who would have been going out even with a draw, had captain Anther Yahia sent off after receiving a second yellow card in the dying moments. The first meeting between the teams came alive after five minutes when an Algerian long ball was totally missed by Jay DeMerit on its way through to Rafik Djebbour, who chested it down before volleying against the bar. Moments later, at the other end, a long-range strike from US striker Hercules Gomez was pushed aside by M’bolhi. Watched by former US president Bill Clinton, the Americans became more dominant as the half wore on and should have taken the lead after 20 minutes when Dempsey’s effort was harshly ruled out for offside. First Donovan’s shot was brilliantly saved. From: comfortablynumb1975x Views: 133 0 ratings Time: 09:16 More in Sports
