World Cup

While England stumbles in 0-0 Algeria draw.

Despite several opportunities early on, the American team was unable to put the ball in the net before halftime, while the Slovenian team scored on a long shot in the 13th minute and then again in the 42nd minute. But in the 47th minute, Landon Donovan scored the U.S.'s first goal in the game. Michael Bradley scored a goal from 10 yards in the 82nd minute of the game to tie Slovenia 2-2.
