The fact they thought they were playing "The British" is retarded all by itself.

CINCO DE MAYO ALL OVER AGAIN !!!

Why in the fuck did that last goal by the USA against Slovenia not count? Kind of bullshit was that...that was an epic comeback.

u.s got robbed on that one.. should of had the win and the 3 points that went with it

some referees are not all there sometimes

there's quite a big push going on --trying to get FIFA to move into the 20th century and allow for instant replay

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.


USA VS. ALGERIA
The United States faces a must-win World Cup clash with Algeria with a spot in the knockout round at stake.
"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."

While he was speaking underneath the stands in the interview room, American fans were still in the stadium, waving flags and blowing vuvuzelas in celebration.

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.

After his U.S. record 44th international goal, Donovan joyously ran to the corner flag, sliding headfirst in a belly flop, and his teammates ran down the touchline to mob him. Donovan was in tears when the game ended and the United States had moved into the second round.

"Clint made a good run in the middle, the ball fell to me ... time kind of stopped," Donovan said. "You can't miss from there."

As the final whistle sounded, the U.S. bench raced onto the field and piled on top of the players on the far sideline. At midfield, Steve Cherundolo and Jay DeMerit collapsed to the ground. They all bearhugged Donovan, who with his fourth World Cup goal tied Bert Patenaude (1930) as the American leader.

"That was a really special feeling," U.S. coach Bob Bradley said. "These guys put a lot into it, they never quit.

"We're proud. We finished first in our group. Five points, didn't lose a match. So we're ready."

As the team returned to the sideline, goalkeeper Tim Howard bounced up and down in elation. Benny Feilhaber took a water bottle and sprayed his teammates, champagne-like.

"We're not done yet," Donovan said. "We believe, man. We're alive, baby."

England (1-0-2), which beat Slovenia moments earlier, also had five points but finished second because the U.S. scored four goals to two for the English. Slovenia (1-1-1) was third with four points, missing advancing because of Donovan's heroics. Algeria (0-2-1) was last with one point.

Until Donovan's goal, it appeared the officiating would again be the focus.

Dempsey put the ball in the net in the 21st minute off the rebound of Herculez Gomez's shot. But the goal was called offside, just as Maurice Edu's late goal was disallowed against Slovenia last week, a score that would have given the Americans a victory. Replays appeared to show Dempsey was onside.

Dempsey had another great chance in the 57th minute when Michael Bradley stole the ball and sent Altidore streaking down the right side. Altidore crossed, but Dempsey's hit the goalpost. He shot wide on the rebound.

Howard earned the first shutout in World Cup play for the U.S. since the 2-0 victory over Mexico in the second round in 2002.

The U.S. kept up its pattern of good and bad World Cups. The Americans were knocked out in the first round in 1990, 1998 and 2006, but went to the second round in 1994 and reached the quarterfinals in 2002.



Bob Bradley revamped his lineup in an effort to add speed. Jonathan Bornstein, the American player most maligned by fans, started at left back. Captain Carlos Bocanegra shifted from the left to the center, with the coach sitting center back Oguchi Onyewu. Edu started in central midfield in place of Jose Torres and Gomez, who made the World Cup roster in a surprise, started at forward for Robbie Findley, suspended for yellow card accumulation.

Algeria was making its third World Cup appearance following first-round elimination in 1982 and 1986.

Clinton congratulated the U.S. players in the locker room after the game.

The U.S. had eight shots on goal to three for Algeria, and the Americans were on the edge until the very end.

Finally, though, Donovan connected.

Lineups:

United States: Tim Howard, Steve Cherundolo, Jay DeMerit, Carlos Bocanegra, Jonathan Bornstein (DaMarcus Beasley, 79), Landon Donovan, Michael Bradley, Maurice Edu (Edson Buddle, 64), Clint Dempsey, Herculez Gomez (Benny Feilhaber, 46), Jozy Altidore.

Algeria: Rais Bolhi, Madjid Bougherra, Nadir Belhadj, Anther Yahia, Rafik Halliche, Medhi Lacen, Rafik Djebbour (Abdelkader Ghezzal, 65), Karim Matmour (Rafik Zaifi, 85), Karim Ziani (Adlane Guedioura, 69) Hassen Yebda, Fouad Kadir.

....lol...on the serio tho, eventually every damn sport will have the re-play.....maybe what they need is more refs per game......shit like a ref per player!!!!!then hopefully they get some off these calls right....you know where I stand on this...if one team out hustles the other ,then,there it is.....regardless my dislike for a team, I'd rather that team lose based on effort not so much a controversial call......

if england got that goal the momentum of the game would of swayed probably. then england just started attacking leaving a lot of areas open to get scored on.. it's just sad to see teams make it this far only to get fucked over by the ref's... it's the world cup for christ sakes, basically the olympics of soccer, GET YOUR REF'S ON POINT

SHIT IF THE DUMB REF WOULD OF HAD EYES HE WOULD OF CALLED THAT OFFSIDES N THE MOMENTUM WOULDA STILL BEEN WITH MEXICO

....you know where I stand on this...if one team out hustles the other, then,there it is ......

that's the way i look at it ^ ^

i don't care much for instant replay.. replay takes the momentum out of a game
and when the game is hot and your boys are on a roll, you can't STOP them cold like that
IT KILLS THE GAME and commercialism takes over !!

As you stated earlier in the topic,many of these countries have national pride at stake, David and Goliath type thing......I feel they should double the refs...that way those dudes on that field hustling like mad dogs can stay focused on the task @ hand....
