Wednesday's USA v Algeria match will take place at the same time as the England v Slovenia
match. ESPN will air the USA match at 8:30 am while ESPN2 carries the Brits. We'll know the fate of
Group C by 10:30 on Wednesday....I'm counting the minutes.
It seems Bob Bradey is contemplating moving Clint Dempsey up top in lieu of Robbie Findley's
suspension for two yellow cards in the first two matches.
After 90 excruciating, nail biting minutes (not to mention a 4 plus day wait after
Coulibaly-gate) Landon Donovan gave the USA a much deserved goal and passage into the knock out

beautiful game on the forefront of just about every American media outlet's news headlines.

I'm not sure when the last time this happened (if ever) but at the conclusion of the USA v
Slovenia match today I was left pining for the likes of Brian Hall, Abbey Okulaja, Terry Vaugh, and
Kevin Stott.
If FIFA is going to insist on assigning incompetent referees to World Cup matches it would not
be a downgrade to include at least one American official for the tournament.

Here are a few doozies........
This guy thinks the Ryder Cup is exciting but soccer will never make it.
This is an unbiased article but it contains some truly assinine comments from the jackal known
as Glen Beck.
Not necessarily negative, but a buzz kill nonetheless.
This guy should probably stick to the NBA.
