FIFA!

I hope you all are keeping up with the "World Cup". The USA is doing well and in dramatic fashion! Every game they have played has been exciting and fun to watch. On Wednesday they played Algeria and in the 91st minute they scored a goal to win the match 1-0! It was intense and replayed continuously on ESPN.

From ESPN:

"Over and over, everything seemed to go against them.

A referee took away a win last week, and a linesman disallowed another goal Wednesday.Now there was just 3½ minutes left in their World Cup, just that much remaining until all the doubts about American soccer would rise again.

But then, in one of the most stunning turnarounds in World Cup history, Landon Donovan scored on a lightning fast counterattack 45 seconds into 4 minutes of injury time. With the most amazing late-game moment in American soccer, the United States beat Algeria 1-0 and reached the World Cup's second round..."

With the win Wednesday the USA won its first-round group, which hasn't been done by the USA since the original World Cup in 1930. They have advanced and play Ghana today at 1:00 PM (central)!

GO USA!!
