Hell Yeah!!!!!!!!! I'm still in tears. I thought it was all over. Big congrats to the boys for winning the group. Donovan is a ********ing hero!!! WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
I woke up all the sleeping babies in my neighborhood with my shrieks. Did anyone else wait 3 seconds before screaming, just to make sure the refs didn't call off ANOTHER legit USA goal? The USA not only beat Algeria, we also overcame crappy reffing and a world full of haters. WE WON THE GROUP, BITCHES!! Eat that, England!! p.s. To England: Have fun with the Germans!
People who say there isnt enough scoring in soccer just don't get it. That was better than a billion touchdowns. I sat on my floor and cried for ten minutes. Need to compose myself for work somehow

*still singing* "This was a Triumph. I’m making a note here, Huge Success! It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction. Down in South Africa. We did what we must, because we could. For the good of all of us, except the Slovenians, But there’s no use crying over every country We just keep on advancing to the round of 16 By the foot of Donavan We’re all celebratin' Because our US Men are still alive! And believe us we are still alive! The refs can’t disallow that we are still alive! Scoring goals and we are still alive! Still alive….Still alive! " -tune of Portal's Glados "Still Alive"
That was a fitting ending to a match the US basically had control of. I also paused before celebrating...though I shouldn't have celebrated at all since i'm still at work. I think I could watch that goal over and over again as well. Please win the next match... I have a ticket for the one after that.
As crazy as this Cup has been for the US--with the disallowed goals and the missed opportunities--it all worked out somehow. We won the f***ing group, and we're dumped into a much more manageable quadrant. We can beat Serbia and Uruguay to make it to the Semis. I believe!!
No [R] in the title? YOU'RE BANNED!! Here's more of the goal. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQ4T39AbR3E"]YouTube- Landon Donovan's Game Winning Goal - A Dagger Against Algeria 2010 World Cup[/ame]
I asked for today off from work just so I could watch this game. There's no way I would have been able to contain my excitement if I were following the game at work. Last Friday I was only able to see the 1st half of the Slovenia match plus the Donovan goal before I had to head off to work meaning I missed the tying goal as well as the disallowed goal. The moment the goal was scored in today's game I erupted with screaming, jumping, fist pumping and flag waving. The only thing running through my mind at that moment was that we had just scored and we were going through to the next round. What a game!
