PRETORIA, South Africa -- Landon Donovan scored a stunning goal in the first minute of injury time, advancing the United States to the second round at the World Cup with a 1-0 win over Algeria. With the U.S. perhaps three minutes from elimination Wednesday, Donovan brought the ball upfield on a counterattack and Jozy Altidore's shot on the breakaway was tipped by Clint Dempsey into goalkeeper Rais Bolihi. The rebound went to Donovan, who kicked it in from about 8 yards for one of the biggest goals in U.S. soccer history. "I've been through a lot in the last four years," Donovan said half an hour after the end, crying and his voice cracked. "I'm so glad it culminated this way. When you try to do things the right way, it's good to get rewarded. "The win, the first World Cup victory for the U.S. in eight years, gave the Americans first place in Group C. With just its fifth shutout in World Cup play, the United States (1-0-2) won a group for the first time since 1930 and will face the runner-up in Group D on Saturday (2:30 p.m. ET, ABC).
U-S-A, U-S-A.! Finally soccer is exciting! I have to say it’s the first time I got the chills from watching a soccer match. After all that has gone against the US during this preliminary round of the World cup, at the end of the day we come out on top of the group. Whoop! Whoop! That gets two whoops. One for Landon Donovan and one for his smoke show wife Bianca Kajlich. I mean what a way to end a huge game. It seems like the US just waits until the 90th minute to score every must have goal. Soccer isn’t gay, well maybe just for today it isn’t.
Note: This might be the greatest goal announcer in hockey history. Make me a bicycle clown!
You forgot to add that the recent 5.5 magnitude earthquake in Canada was Landon Donovan showing the world his dick
