USA, USA, USA!!!!!!

The ref's tried to steal a win from team USA once again, but this time Landon Donovan was there to save the day.  His goal in the first minute of stoppage time propelled the US to a 1-0 victory, and puts them into the next round.  This is the first time the US has won a group since 1930, and considering England (who also advanced) was in their group this time, that's an impressive feat.  Clint Dempsey scored a goal much earlier in the match, around the 20th minute, that was waved off because of an offsides call.  The replay clearly showed Dempsey was onside.  That marks the second time the US team has been done wrong by these FIFA officials, but once again they were able to put it past them and stay focused on the task at hand.  With former president Bill Clinton as their good luck charm, the US team won the match, and the group.  Not an easy task considering they shared the group with powerhouse England.  Now it's on to the elimination round, and the way this US team is playing, they just might have a few more surprises left in them.
