The US media generally believes that the US team's 1-0 victory over the Algerian team is the result of the whole team not giving up and the best embodiment of the United States' never-say-die spirit, and Donovan, who scored the only goal, has become a real hero in the eyes of the American people.

The official website of Major League Soccer did not hesitate to praise Donovan, "After missing opportunities again and again, when the American team was about to be buried, the American team found the real hero." Donovan, you are an American legend! ”

"Fox Sports" praised "Wonder Boy" Donovan in its report, "Donovan is the pride of Americans. After a 1-1 draw with mighty England in the previous two group games, followed by a dramatic 2-2 draw with Slovenia, the USA had already achieved their goal by the time the final game of the group stage came.

Donovan's last-minute strike against Algeria directly helped the team qualify as group winners, and the 28-year-old striker has become the pride of the Americans.

After an exclusive interview with goal hero Donovan, Sports News Network said that the U.S. team is not just satisfied with qualifying from the group, and has looked forward to the knockout round, pointing out that after defeating Slovenia 1-0, the U.S. team advanced to the round of 16 for the first time as the group leader!

Although England also managed five points from their group, the disadvantage on goal difference forced them to settle for second place. Donovan was the man of the match. Although Dempsey scored a goal in the first half, it was ruled offside. Donovan's last-minute goal in stoppage time helped the United States get three points.

'We are proud that we were top of the group, we got five points and we didn't lose a game. So, we're ready for the next knockouts. "It seems that Donovan has set his sights on the 1/8 elimination.

The New York Times described the course of the game as a "dramatic last-out": "The U.S. team looked destined to go home, and Donovan's rise allowed the U.S. team to magically stay in South Africa." ”

After the game, the New York Times gave Donovan a high score of 8 points, "In the first half he was simple and decisive in his passing, and the rest of the time he was a little inactive, but the fatal blow in the final moments made him the biggest contributor to the American team." ”

The Houston Chronicle used the title of "Team America Thrilled to Advance" to express the amazement and respect for the miracle created by the team and the United States team at the last moment, the article said that under the gaze of the former president of the United States, the United States team behaved very tenaciously, and in the unfavorable situation of repeated goals canceled in this game, the American team did not complain, but advanced to the knockout round with practical actions.

USA Today reported on the thrill of the U.S. team's advancement, "The game started in a tense atmosphere, filled with drama about the group, losing, returning the ball; A draw depends on England's performance, and only a win will have a chance to live. But the U.S. team accomplished the goal that appeared in the most thrilling way. ”

ABC also praised the performance of the U.S. team, saying, "The dying U.S. team came back from the dead at the last minute, and although there were plenty of chances for both sides, Donovan became the most important player in the game. ”

……

Group D is just as complicated, with all four teams having a chance to qualify, with Ghana having the best chance of qualifying, with one win and one draw, needing only one draw to qualify.

The other three teams will need to win against their opponents to qualify, especially Australia, who will have to win not only but by a big margin.

Before the game, it was widely believed that Germany would win against Ghana, and then Ghana's qualification situation became delicate. If Ghana loses to Germany and Serbia can beat Australia, it will be Germany and Serbia who qualify.

Both matches were played at the Mbobella Stadium in Splitte and the Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg.

The Mbobella Stadium in Splitter will be played against Australia and Serbia, while Germany and Ghana will play at the Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg, where the Netherlands and Argentina will both win by big margins, making it a lucky stadium for strong teams.

At half past eight in the evening of the 23rd, the two games started at the same time!

At the Mbobella Stadium in Split, Serbia launched an onslaught on Australia from the start of the game and they will need a win to hold the initiative for qualification.

In the 80th second of the opening game, Serbian midfielder Krasic received a pass from his teammates outside the penalty area and forced a break on the right side of the penalty area!

Just as he was about to get up and shoot, he was brought down by Valery!

Surprisingly, the referee did not blow the whistle, much to the displeasure of the Serbian players.

Born in the Kosovska region of the former Yugoslavia, Milos Krasic is an absolute talent. Krasic started playing in the professional league in 1999 at the age of 15 and currently plays for CSKA Moscow in Russia.

Krasic's contract with CSKA expires in the summer of 2010 and the battle for his transfer has already begun. Italy's Milan duo are the most likely to acquire the wide wizard, with Krasic reportedly a fan of AC Milan himself who would most like to join the Rossoneri.

It is said that when Krasic celebrated his birthday in November 2009, his teammates prepared a red and black birthday cake for him, which also confirmed the possibility of this transfer from the side.

Five minutes later, Serb Krasic struck again into the Australian box and fired a low shot!

Australian goalkeeper Schwarzer bravely saved the football from the bottom line!

Six minutes later, Serbia launched an attack from the middle, Ninkovic made a direct pass, and Krasic, who had successfully countered offside, burst into the right side of the penalty area, and used his speed to get rid of the attacking Schwarzer and shoot into the empty goal from a small angle!

This is a great opportunity to score!

However, the football went wide of the goal!

Krasic covered his face in pain......

Australia slowly steadied their ground after withstanding Serbia's stormy attack and began to attack their opponents.

A minute later, Australia launched a quick counter-attack, with Wikscher crossing and Cahill heading home!

Soccer ball misses the goal!

Then the two teams fell into a stalemate.

At the Football City stadium in Johannesburg, Germany took the initiative from the start of the game and launched a fierce attack on Ghana.

In the 7th minute, Sarpe cleared not far away, Podolski hit Sarpe's back with a left-footed volley from 20 meters in front of the goal, and it missed the left post!

In the 9th minute, Poladorschi made a low cross from the left, and Jonathan Mensah cleared the front point and almost crashed into the near corner of his goal, but fortunately, Jinsen reacted quickly to seal the bottom line!

In the 25th minute, Germany ushered in an excellent opportunity to score, Thomas Muller made a successful steal in the midfield, Cacau turned around on the right rib and passed with the outside of his instep, and Ozil broke into the right side of the penalty area in an offside position and shot with his left foot 12 meters in front of the goal!

The football was magically blocked by Ghanaian goalkeeper Jinsen with his legs!

Germany missed a great chance to take the lead.

The Germans were unable to score under Ghana's tenacious defence and the first half ended 0-0.

The other turf ended the first half with the same score. Ghana and Germany continue to occupy the top two positions in the table, but once Serbia takes the lead, the situation for Germany will be very unfavorable.

After a fifteen-minute half-time break, the players returned to the pitch and the air on both pitches began to tense as the fateful second half showdown began.
