The USA won Group C with a thrilling 1-nil win over Alegria.

Landon Donovan is finally proving he belongs on the world futebol stage.
The Landon Man nailed the match winner in the 91^st minute.

The superman in goal Tim Howard set up this goal. Howard blocked a point blank shot. He gobbled up the loose ball. A quick outlet pass by Howard and we were off to the races.

Alegria never knew what hit them.

The USA was off to the races.

Buda bing buda boom the ball is in the back of the Algerian net in a matter moments.

Fast break futebol at its best.

You gotta love it.

Game, set, and match to the USA.

My wife and I stood and cheered at the top of our lungs.

Our neighbors thought we are nuts.

I have the papers to prove I am nuts.

We win the Group and now on to the knockout stage.

The idiot pundits in the USA media have proclaimed Landon Donovan the greatest player in United States history.

NOT!

One brilliant World Cup doesn’t make up for all the times Donovan stunk the joint out.

Read my lips Tim Howard is the only world-class player have.

Time in and time out Howard has saved the USA hide.

Without Howard, we would have lost to England, Alegria, and Slovenia.

Trust me on this.

England finally tickled the twines in a huge 1-0 over Slovenia.

Jermain Defoe saved the English skin when he nailed the match winner in the 23^rd minute.

The Aussies defeated Serbia 2-1.

Germany escaped with Ghana 1-0.

After a scoring barrage against a short-handed Australian squad, the Germans have petered out in goal production.

Germany is over rated.

Germany wins Group D.

Ghana and the Aussies tied for second with four points but Ghana had a better goal difference. Ghana was a zero while Australia was a minis three.

In my heart, I would love to see a miracle in South Africa. The USA wins the World Cup. Dreams are great to have.

Do you believe in Miracles?

YES!

1980 Lake Placid, New York.

USA upset the pro Russian hockey team and wins the Gold Medal.

Will this happen again?

If not I want Brasil to win.

I don’t want Argentina to win.

My head tells me that Brasil, Argentina, and Spain are even money to win it all.

The second tier consists of Germany, Netherlands, England, and Portugal.

The United States was screwed out of a win. The goal by Maurice Edu in the 86^th minute was a good goal.

The dumb ref disallowed this sucker.

The USA scored two second half goals after falling behind 2-nil in the first half.

The USA and Slovenia tied two all.

Tim Howard was hung out to dry on both goals.

Valter Birsa nailed a long-range sniper shot top shelf left to gave Slovenia a 1-0 lead.

The goal by Zlatan Ljubijankic was a classic spilt the seam in the “D” score that forced Tim Howard to come off his line.

This forced Ljubijankic to shoot. He did. Zlatan Ljubijankic ripped the twines in the 42^nd minute to give Slovenia a 2-0 lead.

These goals were not Tim Howard’s fault.

The USA should be given great kudos for not quitting.

The guys toughed it up and scored two second half goals to level this sucker.

Landon Donovan finally proved he just might be a good player. He roofed a close range screamer in the 48^th minute to cut the deficit to 2-1.

Michael Bradley poked home a free ball in the 82^nd minute to level this baby up at two all.

This wasn’t futebol. It was the WWF on a pitch.

Slovenia was the king of the arm bar and sleeper hold.

Hulk Hogan and Johnny Valentine would be proud the way Slovenia performed their wrestling moves in the box.

What has happened to the mighty English?

Again, they played like clowns and tied with lowly Algeria nil-nil.

Where was Wayne Rooney?

How about Frank Lampard or Steven Gerrard?

Fabio Capello needs to be shot.

His team sucks.

The English press will be calling for his head.

Heck, I am calling for his head.

I am not English.

This was disgraceful futebol.

Serbia beat the mighty German team 1-0.

So much for a 4-1 thrashing of Australia

The German Floppers finally got a taste of their own medicine when Miroslov Klose was given the heave-hoe in the 36^th minute.

This was not a red card but after years of Germany receiving the benefit of crap calls, they finally got one called against them.

Paybacks are a bitch.

Better yet Serbian keeper saved the match when he stone cold stopped Lukas Podolski PK shot in the 60^th minute.

Stick a dagger in the German’s heart. 

Serbia’s Milan Jovanovic ripped the twines in the 38^th minute.

All the USA has to do is win baby and we’re in like Flynn.

 Here was another day of upsets, crappy play, and horrible refereeing.

FIFA needs to straighten out the ref mess,

It looks like the fix is in.

There are two days until the World Cup begins. I can’t wait. The idiots at ESPN will broadcast the entire tournament. I would rather watch paint dry then torture myself listening to the clowns at ESPN butcher futebol.

No, thank you I will watch the Spanish Stations instead.

Listening to Alexi Lalas spout his insane comments and idiotic ideas is bad enough on ESPN 2 during the EPL now I have put up with his dribble on greatest futebol stage-The World Cup.

I would rather eat cat shit and live.

It is my blog and I can say what I want.

You don’t like it tough do-do.

Give me a break.

Throw into the mix Tommie Smyth and the rest no wonder the world thinks America futebol is a joke.

The Americans are in the same group as England, Slovenia, and Algeria.

The USA should advance but anything is possible with this team.

Tim Howard needs to play lights out.

The “D” stinks.

Howard is the great eraser.

Landon Donovan finally needs to step up and show what he is made of.

He had a great short run at Everton.

Let’s see if this was a fluke or for real.

We will find out real quick.

England is hurting. The Rooney Man will hopefully be healed of all his nagging injuries.

Wayne Rooney is a world-class futebol player.

He is your typical power forward in the NBA.

You can’t stop him when he gets in the crease.

Frank Lampard, Shawn Wright Phillips, Jermain Defoe, and Jamie Carragher need to step up to the plate and knock it out of the park.

Super defender Rio Ferdinand is out due to injury.

This is not good.

He is the glue that holds the “D” together.

Just ask Sir Alex about that.

I still think the English squad has a better than fifty-fifty chance to win it all.

I am an American with a Brasilian heart.

I married a Brasilian.

I have always rooted for Brasil since I was knee high to a grasshopper.

Dunga and the guys are favorites but they have their work cut out for them.

We will talk about that on Friday.
