Today Landon Donovan scored a goal for the USA in the 2010 World Cup to secure the team's advancement in the tournament. The first 90 minutes of the soccer game were played without a goal scored. There was then an additional 4 minutes put on the clock to allocate what is known as stoppage time. All it took was one minute into the extra play time for Donovan to score the goal that saved USA from elimination. The final score was 1-0 as USA defeated Algeria.
Donovan could not hold back his tears of joy during the post-game news conference. “Experiences can harden you and help you if you let them. It all came together tonight. This is pretty satisfying. A lot has happened in my life. I have worked hard and it is nice to know that sometimes hard work gets rewarded. This is the kind of thing I wanted, the chance to help my country, the chance to show I could produce great things, the chance to do what I know I can do. It is amazing.”
Even the game announcers said that Hollywood could not have written a better script for the dramatic finish to this game. The USA has their next game on Saturday against Ghana.
