If you didn't watch USA's final group-play match...you missed out. WOW! The US needed a win to ensure that they advanced into the Final 16, and a goal they got...at the 91 minute mark! Who said the US can't play soccer? Yea, they just fucking beat-out England to top Group C and have advanced past the group-stage. They dominated Algeria today but couldn't hit water if they fell out of a fucking boat. After and early disallowed goal (another phantom call) and several near-goals, it looked like a frustrated Red, White and Blue were going to bow out of the World Cup in devastating fashion. Not to be. Tim Howard made a huge stop on his end, and then threw, yes threw, the ball PAST the half-field line, leading to the game-winning break. Altidore made a great pass to Dempsey, who was stopped, but Landon Donovan provided the heroics and finally put one into the net. I think it's fair to say that that is the most worked-up I have ever been during a soccer game, but a great game it was. On to the fucking elimination rounds!
