With enthusiastic US fans in the stands, including former President Bill Clinton, and, as the Associate Press described it, "a pro-American, vuvuzela-blowing crowd," the USA team won a victory over the Algerian team, 1-0,. which meant that the US team moved to the second round of play at the World Cup. The hero of the game was Landon Donovan, who scored in the first minute of stoppage time off a rebound. The USA team finished with the best record in its group. England, which won its match today with Slovenia came in second. Both teams had one win, no loses and two ties. The USA team scored four goals to England's two. Both teams advanced to the next round. USA fans are hopeful. This is the first time since the 1930 that the USA team won a group.

As USA team captain Landon Donovan said , "We're not done yet. We believe, man. We're alive, baby."

Yeah! Go USA! Go, baby! Win!
