confident Yanks, toothless Lions

result from the GROUP C clash between USA and Slovenia: 2-2.

What a comeback from the Americans after going 2-0 down at the break! Landon Donovan initiated the comeback with an unstoppable shot and Michael Bradley made it 2-2. the Slovenians took the lead through Valter Birsa, who curled home a fine opener in the 13th minute and Zlatan Ljubijankic beat the offside trap to add a second before the interval as the US struggled to handle the World Cup's smallest nation. but in the second half the US ran riot, and were rewarded with the two fine goals to get a point. OVERALL - superb comeback by the US, who at one point looked like they were headed for defeat. Slovenia will look back and wonder how they let those two extra points go down the drain.



England 0-0 Algeria
another result from GROUP C saw England only managing a 0-0 draw with Algeria. there is nothing to say about this match that can justify the scoreline.
