Well now, how 'bout those Yanks! Landon Donovan's goal in stoppage time will go down as one of -- if not THE -- greatest goal in US soccer history. Props to the boys for continuing to press forward against a weaker but stubborn Algeria. Bring on Ghana!

But first, some questions (and, of course, the obligatory answers from your humble author here):

Question #1) Will Coach Bob Bradley finally figure out that his best lineup has Clint Dempsey up top with Jozy Altidore? 

Answer: Probably not. The incredibly stubborn coach will no doubt put Michael Findley or Herculez Gomez with Altidore. Keep Demspey at midfield (instead of Benny Feilhaber). And don't be surprised to see either (or both) Ricardo Clark and Oguchi Onyewu on the pitch vs. Ghana.

Question #2) Will Bradley get Edson Buddle more playing time?

Answer: Probably not. Alas. Methinks Bradley may have cooled off the once-hot Buddle. Hard to grade Buddle vs. Algeria but he deserved more playing time in the first round. Findley is just not up to this level of competition.

Question #3) What is the most useless job in soccer?

Answer: Forward on the Greek national team.

Question #4: Where have all the goalkeepers gone?

Answer: Well, some reside in the USA. And some in Italy. One or two in Spain. None in England. Or Mexico. Or Africa.

Question #5: Have you ever seen this many empty seats for a World Cup Game?

Answer: No.

Question #6: Will all the Landon Donovan haters now realize how ridiculous they are?

Answer: I hope so because he has proved beyond all doubts that when his team needed him most he came through. With so many of his mates missing wide open chances in front of the goal, Donovan made good on his chance. Good for him. And here's one for those anti-Donovan fans: Landon Donovan is the best American soccer player. Ever!
