2010 World Cup United States vs Algeria on DVD

Early in the game the U.S. nearly allowed another early goal as an Algerian shot hit the top bar. Throughout the remainder of the game the U.S. had a number of good chances against a solid Algerian defense that allowed just one goal from two games. U.S. striker Jozy Altidore volleyed wide of an open net, while Clint Dempsey had a goal disallowed for a controversial offside call and later hit the bar on a shot and missed an empty net on the rebound. After 90 minutes of a scoreless affair, the U.S. appeared to be going out of the World Cup despite not losing a game, but in stoppage-time U.S. goalie Tim Howard quickly threw an outlet pass to Landon Donovan, who moved the ball up the pitch and passed the ball just outside the box to Altidore, who then passed the ball to an open Dempsey in the middle of the box. With the goalie closing in Dempsey shot quickly and was blocked, however Donovan followed the shot and put the rebound into the net for an easy goal. The U.S. would hold on for the final few minutes for a 1-0 victory. The late goal not only saved the U.S. from elimination but also allowed the U.S. to win their group for the first time since 1930.
