Reaction to Landon Donovan's clutch goal against Algeria



The referee of the USA vs Slovenia game robbed the USA soccer team of the important game winning goal against Slovenia in Group C play. A penalty in the box showed only USA players getting "mugged" as Andy Roddick would detail it. The bad call essentially turned their third (and last) game of Group C play into a must win situation. Although the USA would advance to the second round with a tie if England tied Slovenia, that faint hope was extinguished when the Three Lions took control of their game, dominating in patented 1-0 soccer style.

The referee in the Algeria vs USA game called a bad offsides that robbed the USA of what would have been the game winning goal again! The game remained scoreless and when the clock hit ninety minutes, four minutes of extra time was announced. The USA was desperate for the game winning goal. They had scored before but as Stifler says, "you don't score until you score."

Then it happened. Donovan scored. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLL!!!!!!!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLL!!!!!!!!! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
