So, as it stands, neither team advances if they don’t win, so both have to be aggressive, should be a fun half.

47th First chance to Algeria stopped on an offsides

47th Free kick to the US about 40 yards out, played it short, and stopped by a real nice choice by the Algerian keeper

49th Nice run but the feed is just a wee bit too long

49th Ball bouncing in Algerian box, but no control, and the counter gives Algeria a corner, which was dangerous. The pulling and grabbing in the box was intense

51st Nice run by Algeria leads to a corner, Algeria has come out more aggressive again, loooooong corner but not controlled

55th Not as much pace yet to this half, until a nice run is stopped by a nice defensive play

56th Bornstein has some nice defense

56th Great run out by Altidore who feeds to Dempsey who knocks if off the post and misses the open net rebound

58th Wow… the announcers asked when the ball will go in for the US, but the question when will the ball go in and be allowed

59th Going to be a nervy rest of the game

61st Lots of stuff deep in the Algerian end, but nothing really productive, I will say that I really like Altidore…

62nd …who just got a yellow from a really pretty dive by the Algerian who took three steps after the phantom contact

63rd Good attack by Algeria stopped by great defense by Bocanegra

63rd The counter leads to a chance stopped by a so-so cross by Altidore

64th Buddle for Edu. Edu had a nice first half but has not been all that apparent in the second

65th Great run but got a bit too deep, still a chance with the corner… which was another wow of a chance

68th Bad bad goal kick, leading to a fantastic US chance stopped by an even better save by the Algerian goalie

68th The Algerian counter was wide open but a really bad strike from the Algerian, this back and forth really the first bright spot of energy to an otherwise seemingly slow half

70th Nearly an own goal from Algeria leading to a corner, chance derived from nifty control on the right side, corner was a good chance but not a great one

71st Definitely more energy now

71st Nice energy by Bradley

74th Free kick earned by Altidore off of a cross by Buddle, dangerous spot… decent delivery but not converted

76th Yellow card against Algeria for not much

76th Cherundolo a nice cross but, again, no good contact on the end

78th Nice attack leads to another great free kick opportunity… great strike by Bradley but right at Mbolhi, the Algerian keeper

81st Bradley for Bornstein… 10minutes to get a goal

81st Dempsey was hammered in the box and Algeria got away with one, big time bloody lip for Dempsey

82nd Another yellow card as all of the sudden Algeria is getting chippy… might have been worthy of a red… Dempsey missed the kick

87th US being aggressive leaving some openings

OK, I have to say I really despise fans cheering because they’re on TV despite the fact that their team is in a bad situation

89th Wow, nice work by Buddle leads to a wasted chance

90th A yellow for Beasley and I’m not sure why

90th 4 minutes of added time

91st Great chance by Algeria leads to a fantastic counter…

91st GOOOOOOOAAALLLLLLL!!!!!!!!

91st And it didn’t come easy… great work by Mbolhi again but Donovan with the rebound

93rd And now a 2nd yellow for Yahir leading to a red as Algeria is breaking down, don’t really like the yellow, should have been on the first player in, not the second

FULL TIME!!!!

Major WOWs

Mbolhi is crushed, but he played a fantastic game

And the US goes from 3rd to 1st in Group C in extra time. The US definitely outplayed Algeria but they made it so dramatic

Wow

Did I mention wow

Amazing finish

Player of the match for me is Jozy Altidore, who really played well. Donovan got the goal, Dempsey got the one he should have, but Altidore really pushed the issue

Wow
