USA 1 Algeria 0. Allah was an American today!

90 min Landon Donovan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was meant to be!

The tension on the field was exceeding the one in the White House today where the future of General McChrystal and the fate of the Afghan War were decided.

One of the most attractive games in the World Cup so far – shot were flying left and right, hitting occasional crossbar and putting the goalkeepers to test. In the first half of the game Team USA had more shots toward the Algerian target than for the whole match with England.

On the soccer field USA and the Arabs managed to go through the 90 minutes mostly peacefully. After 0:0 in the regular time Team USA went for the nuclear option: Landon Donovan was it! A true American hero!

Middle East ceased fire for two hours to find out how the men of the USA and Algeria are going to fight it out. The American Forces network broadcast the game all over the world for our military deployed abroad. This victory is for you!

Yes you are a true American hero! Everybody who has work and does their job well is!

Were there any Arabs kicking stuff your way?

That was group C. We topped the group. England finished second.

Good ridicule of the article’s hyperbolic misuse of the term “hero”.

LOL--Dictionary FAIL.

?!
Will they still be "heroes" when it's South Koreans or Brits kicking stuff their way?

Who cares about South Korea?

The whole Muslim world was cheering for Algeria today. I am glad the team scored a win for our troops.

What part of the term "hyperbolic" do you not understand?

Are you changing the subject because you’ve given up, or because you’ve opened a dictionary?

Soccer is very popular in the Muslim world.

Sending USA home would be a symbolic victory for them. Algeria did not play to win - they played to send the USA home.

It is just a great news. I bet the US troops that serve in the Muslim world were happy the Arabs did not send US team home.

Speaking of dictionaries, have you figured out what “hyperbolic” means yet?
Once you’re aware of that, you’ll realize I haven’t changed the subject.

I am aware of what "hyperbolic" means, thank you. A words use is not "hyperbolic," however, if it is used according to one of its definitions.

Just because it happens to be a definition of which you do not approve doesn't make that definition automatically cease to exist.

The US won in spite of yet another bad call that negated a goal. I’m surprised the last one was allowed through.

I disagree. Their style all tournament was to play tight defense and hope to counter-attack. With USA desperate to get a goal, they had some chances opening up, but they were unable to capitalize on them (mostly from poor and undisciplined shooting).

Likely only because there wasn't even anything they could pretend to call. Offside? Nope, it was just Donovan vs. the keeper, and the ball was between them. Foul? No Algerians (other than the keeper) in sight.

This one they had to let go. I'm sure they would have found a provocation to disallow it if there was even a hint of one.

There will be a fatwa on Mr. Donovan’s ass after today.

LOL—Logic FAIL.
So you admit your “Dictionary FAIL” comment made absolutely no sense.
Fair enough.
