Landon Donovan knocked in the go-ahead goal during extra time to lead USA past Algeria this morning in South Africa. The rest of the world – namely a pair of rancid refs – did their best to keep us out, but team USA has officially moved past group play and into the second round of the World Cup with the win. In the first half of the match another out-to-get the Red, White and Blue ref took a U.S. goal off the board for an offside. Only the call was bullshit, much like the controversial whistle-blow that cost team USA a “W” against Slovenia.
I wondered why folks all around the globe root against the Americans until ESPN showed live footage of the patrons at Atlantic Crossing Pub in Seattle, WA. Really guys, shitfaced at 8:30 am on a Wednesday? Go to work you bums. But seriously, if we get any more scores taken away unjustly I say we show up four years from now with football pads on…
World Cup action continues later today at 2:30 pm ET when Germany faces Ghana and Australia takes on Serbia on ESPN and ESPN2 respectively.
