1. Holy shit.
2. Really...holy shit.
3. I don't know how much more Clint Dempsey can do and not score a goal. The guy was peppering the goal all day and couldn't buy a point. Not only Dempsey too. It seemed like the whole U.S. team was painting the Algerian goalie with shots and nothing would fall. If they had played 120 minutes, it probably would've finished 4-0 the way they were going.
4. It seemed to me like Algeria was content just taking a 0-0 draw. Maybe that's a good result for them. I don't know. But they just kept sitting back in their defensive half waiting for something to happen. Before the game, they needed to win by at least two goals to move on. And yet, they seemed happy enough sitting back and taking abuse from the Americans. Fucking Frenchies.
5. Landon Donovan. As a person, I basically loathe Landon Donovan. He's the kind of bro that you typically see at a frat party high-fiving all of his other bro-tastic bromen about that totally hot babe he just made out with. But on the soccer field, he is the fucking man. He's been spot on with his free kicks all tournament and has been one of only two hopes for an American goal. It was nice to see him clean up Dempsey's deflection.
6. I don't know how many more goals they can get taken away from them. This time Dempsey was clearly onsides before Gomez's awry attempt. And yet, the linesman felt it necessary to call it. FIFA must fucking loathe Americans.
7. I realized just know that my fandom for U.S. soccer has reached steep new heights. I cared about the world cup before. Obviously so, what with the new blog look and everything. But I kind of figured the U.S. would fizzle out early and be a disappointment like it usually is. That being said, I was up yelling at the top of my lungs for midfield balls that didn't matter to anybody today. I dare say that only the Pack matters more to me sports-wise at this point.
8. The U.S. just helped themselves into a very amiable situation. If everything plays out like it should today (Serbia beats Australia, Germany downs Ghana), the U.S. would play the Serbs. Then, if they can find a way past Nemanja Vidic and Co., they'd get the winner of Uruguay and South Korea. Not exactly a murderer's row of opponents to move on to the semis of a World Cup.
Of course, when does anything go how it should in the cup.

A) Dempsey is a whiny bitch. He is the only American player I despise more than Donovan. Peppering the goal? Only if by that you mean spraying early shots wide or high when a little patience could have brought a better shot.
2) What do you mean, Algeria just wanted a draw? Those desert foxes were attacking all night(unusual for them). In fact, if they wanted a tie, it would've been a tie. The U.S. Americans only got that breakaway because Algeria was attacking. If they had been in hang-on-for-a-tie mode, they would have had more guys back, and Landon(Bro-Stalin) never would have touched the ball.
You're right about the bracket, although don't be surprised if Germany somehow winds up there as well.
bro-seph got bro-ousted by the bro-ghanians. unchill.
