Amazing!
Oh my God! Unbelievable! What was the most frustrating game in the history of any world that has ever existed suddenly turned into one of the most memorable wins in the history of the American nation. Truly remarkable. Jozy Altidore continued his phenomenal game up front for the USA and continued pushing the issue in the final minutes. His ball to the middle was initially stopped by the keeper, but who else but Landon Donovan came in with the support, booting the ball into the empty net for the most rejuvenating goal in US Soccer history. USA 1, Algeria 0. And in a matter of seconds, the feeling of being eliminated from the World Cup was abolished and the feeling of winning Group C was dawned. Just a phenomenal game, a great way to advance, a terrible ending for Slovenia, and an embarrassing unravel for Algeria. Nonetheless, all the credit it the world goes to the United States. Tim Howard turned in another spectacular effort and moved the ball very well in transition, ultimately leading to the rush that notched the winning strike.
When does the USA play next? I don't know. I don't even care yet. Time to enjoy this stellar victory for a little while.
Update - It seems as though the US will probably play again on Saturday. Nice.
