WC MATCHES: USA VS ALGERIA

[jenni_blog]

I was 3 for 4 on June 23rd's match predictions. The one I got wrong was Australia/Serbia. I thought the Serbs would win that one for sure.
In this one, the USA scored in extra time to win 1 - 0 and go top of the group.

This is a picspam of USA vs Algeria. It's a little Algeria-heavy because of their enthralling player, No. 13, Karim Matmour.

Here is Matmour against Carlos Bocanegra.





Matmour and Bocanegra came up against each other a few times...









And Jonathan Bornstein...



And others...









He's quite the little drama queen...















Now let's concentrate a bit on the USA team...

it was a scrabbly goal, but nice. Also nice to see Landon Donovan finally living up to the world cup hype!

Landon Donovan seems to be their clutch player! It was a desperate goal and he did it. But the USA seems to be very good at coming from behind.

He's the Wayne Rooney of the US ;-)

I wish there were many more US players like Landon. I watched him playing with Everton this past season and he looked very good there too.
