A referee took away a win last week, and a linesman disallowed another goal Wednesday. Now there was just 3½ minutes left in their World Cup, just that much remaining until all the doubts about American soccer would rise again.But then, in one of the most stunning turnarounds in World Cup history, Landon Donovan scored on a lightning fast counterattack 45 seconds into 4 minutes of injury time. It is like film of Hollywood.

I think US have been very good in this tournament. I have been impressed by their fighting spirit. Remember they were 2-0 down in their game against Slovenia and 1-0 against England and then came back to draw both games. They should have won the Slovenia game, but the robbed them. They should have again scored early against Algeria but again were robbed by the referee. What do they do, they keep fighting and then finally at the end of road, they find light with Donovan scoring late late goal to help them top the group.
Their reward, Ghana in the next round and if they get past them, then you have either South Korea or Uruguay. I fancy the US to go till the semis in this tournament!!
Cheers!
