Even if the World Cup never grabbed your attention before, chances are you are hearing about the big U.S. win. Here's the story courtesy of SoccerFanhouse.com.
The best player on the U.S. national team confirmed his place as the best player in U.S. history at the moment when his team and his country needed him most. Thanks to a lightning-quick stoppage-time counterattack started and finished by 28-year-old Landon Donovan, the Americans overcame an amazing series of earlier misses and their Algerian opponents to win 1-0, and advance to the World Cup's round of 16 as the winners of Group C.

The circumstances could not have been more dramatic or gut-wrenching. A 20th minute goal from Clint Dempsey was called back because of an erroneous offside call from the Belgian linesman, perhaps setting the U.S. up as tragic figures in a play ruined by wayward referees.

But the U.S. had no one but themselves to blame after that. They dominated the match, proving far more threatening on the attack than the Algerians and creating numerous blue-chip scoring chances. The opponents, also with an opportunity to advance if they won thanks to England's 1-0 win over Slovenia, saw their best chance to score hit the crossbar in just the sixth minute and struggled to create much consistently from then on.

Since we are on the topic of the World Cup. Have you noticed the hotties that play the game? Here's a link to some of them. Woot, woot!
