World Cup 2010, United States Vs. Algeria: Video Of Landon Donovan's 'Breathtakingly Exciting' Goal

On Wednesday, against Algeria, in the 91st minute, Landon Donovan scored the greatest goal in U.S. soccer history. This is best presented without further comment.

So many great moments.

  • Tim Howard's unbelievablly accurate outlet pass to Donovan.
  • Ian Darke's brilliant call: "And Donovan has scored! oh, can you believe this?! Goal, goal, USA! Certainly through! Oh, it's incredible! You could not write a script like this!"
  • Darke then handling the analysis for John Harkes, the former USMNT midfielder who was seemingly too overwhelmed with emotion to fully describe what just happened.
  • Oh, and, you know, the goal itself. It was indeed, "breathtakingly exciting."

What I love most

Was how Donovan came from out of the picture as that ball got deflected. I was on my feet screaming for someone to get it, but none of the 3 you can see would ever get there (I had forgotten all about Donovan playing the ball) and then he comes in and just BOOM!

No doubt about it.

Ian Darke has been killing it the whole tournament.

His calls during the USA-Slovenia comeback were just as good. He’s like the British Gus Johnson.
