The United States thanks to a late goal, in stoppage time defeated Algeria by 1-0. The USA's goal coming thanks to Landon Donovan who took advantage of a ball Algerian goalkeeper, Ras M'Bolhi should have easily controlled; to score from close range to give the USA not only a well earned victory but passage in to the next round. This goal in fact now creating for a very interesting scenario. As it gives the USA a victory instead of a draw which qualifies them in first place, which means England who were probably hoping to come in first will have to settle for second while Slovenia is simply left out of the world cup all together. This meaning that it will be England who will be forced to play the first place team from group D who probably will be Germany. That is if Germany beats Ghana which is what is most likely to happen. This leaving the United States to take on the second place team from group D which could be either Serbia or Ghana.
As for USA Vs Algeria, this was a well played match with plenty of excitement in spit of only one goal being scored. It being both teams who attacked and on many an occasion came ever so close to taking the lead. The USA even scoring a goal through Dempsey which was called offside though the reply claims otherwise. The USA however was not alone in having chances as both Algeria and the USA would take turns hitting the post with neither scoring or at least not till the final minute of the game. It being Donovan whose goal has taken the Americans past the first round in a world cup for the second time in the last three world cups. For Algeria, the loss eliminates them from the world cup though in all truth a draw would have also seen them ousted from the tournament.
In conclusion, I would say that the match USA Vs Algeria was well worth watching and it might create an interesting rematch between Germany and the United States. It being these two teams which met in 2002 when thanks to a clear handball the Germans were able to beat the USA and advance on to the semifinals by 1-0. Naturally, there is also a possibility that the USA will end up taking on Serbia which also should make for a good football contest.
