PRETORIA, South Africa - Landon Donovan scored in the first minute of stoppage time off a rebound, advancing the United States to the second round at the World Cup with a 1-0 win over Algeria.

With the U.S. perhaps three minutes from elimination, Jozy Altidore was stopped on a breakaway by goalkeeper Rais Bolihi. Donovan hustled in and kicked in the rebound to win Group C Wednesday.

After his U.S. record 44th international goal, Donovan joyously ran to the corner flag and his teammates ran down the touchline to mob him. Donovan was in tears when the game ended and the United States had moved into the second round.

I was reading an update on Yahoo about an hour or so ago.

It was halftime, tied 0-0 and there was another controversial non-goal.

Sadly, admitting that I was reading up on this sport requires that I seek someone out to shoot me.

Would have been an exciting game to see. I heard that the US had another goal disallowed by mistake again too. What's up with that?

I know! There were 3 fouls in that box at that time and they were all against Slovonia...but instead one was ruled against us! We should have won that game...but oh well...at least we are advancing! smile

We could pretend to shoot you and you could flail on the ground as if every molecule in your body was simultaneously exploding. But then someone would think you're a soccer player.

Having a goal disallowed I watched part of the 2nd half. At the 89th minute I left because our attack was so frantic I figured it was over. I got a call for a project I was working on then I heard a scream and a clap. I knew we had pulled it off.

I would have thought Barack had apologized enough on the international stage so that refs wouldn't have it in for the US

apparently he has much more apologizing to do

With the disallowed goal and with Dempsey missing the wide open net I really starting to think that it was not their day. But even people I know who don't enjoy soccer couldn't help but be swept up in the excitement of a goal that late in the match.

laugh laugh you kill me Peeps! laugh laugh

Who could not like soccer!!! It's so much fun!!! As I said before my daughter played since she was 5 and in 6th grade became a goalie and went with a travel team for years. It sure was hard even for me to let go when she became injured her senior year and couldn't play anymore after that. I'm sure many of you can relate to that in some sport or another... eek
