After years of waiting, and progressively improving, USA goes to the knockout stage.
In one of the most dramatic finishes I have seen, Landon Donovan scored that elusive goal in 'injury time' (ie, time after the 90 minutes to compensate for stoppage due to injuries) against Algeria.
And for a time it looked like the referees of the world had united to keep the USA out : two legitimate goals disallowed in successive games for the same reason - offside called when it was not.
This says it all : USA finally scores a goal the referees can’t dispute
I need a vuvuzela to sound off and celebrate !
