that idiot ref actually lost his job over that call. he refused to explain it to fifa, so he has been banned from officiating in the WC from now on. justice.

That ref now has a nice summer home of the coast of Slovenia

as much as that terrible call hurt to watch as a USA fan at the time, it did end up setting the stage for one of USA soccer's all time greatest moments against Algeria and brought a lot of new attention to the sport in america.

I have never seen a team get so many goals taken away from them as much as the US has. Unreal. Love it when a hater gets his. That ref got his.

If you watch replays and the players are trying too talk to the ref, the players are like, Why isn't that a goal? Why doesn't that count. Ref: That's none of your business.

still can't figure out that call in the end

2010 was a great World Cup all around. I loved everything from the endless array of vuvuzelas to South Africa itself.

Still hard to watch the comeback robbery.

BEAUTIFUL touch, Bradley.

Donovan shot that in the guy's face, there was about a 10% angle that it could have even had a chance to go in and he did it. That was by far the best goal this match and despite the importance of the Algeria goal, this one was the most talented of the USA's.

1st ever Soccer game I watched full 90. Never complained and was proud of 2-2 after 2-0. I've seen 90% of Multiple Leagues results from the past 10 years but yet 3-2 here would have been an amazing result for the ages. Im still glad to have become addicted to the game after such a great match.

Donovan so money when it came to the World Cup. If only they had him for this 2022 team in his prime

Can we all take time to appreciate that Donovan goal? From that angle?

In the end the disallowed goal didn't have any consequence as the USA topped the group anyway, here's hoping for more this summer in Brazil.

I am big Slovenia fan, but this was clearly goal on 2:3.

A miracle win taken away.

One of the best group match in WC history. I remember this match like yesterday. Donovan was genius.

"It was an instant blow of the whistle...translated "The ref didn't even see the play." The only foul I saw was against Slovenia...total garbage call.

Landon Donovan, Claudio reina y clent Dempsey leyendas de la selección de Usa !!

We know we won that game

The foul was against Bradley so the ref should have played the avantage and gave USA the win, no reason for the whistle, 3-2 far and square, I'm guessing he hates America or a Slovenia fan 😂

The referee from Mali apparently never worked a FIFA event again after this pot shot.

This world cup had very shocking decisions in general.

Valter Birsa's goal was gorgeous. Coming from an american. Hopefully slovenia can make it to WC2018

Donovan's was the most upfront goal that took guts to do and so it payed off and managed to inspired the US Team to tie the game! Sadly about the disallowed goal!

That waved off free kick goal negated one of the greatest comebacks in World Cup history!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you will never be able to ignore the small successful sports country Slovenia, which tells you how it goes.

" Donovan and Bradley lead U.S's fightback." That's the correct way to write it!

The Yanks best uniforms since 2002. Then 1994 Denim

2:16 goalkeeper scared of ball

Just got mad again watching us be robbed by the ref in the end. Didnt realize that anger was still down there. Its nearly been 10 years!

one of the best WC 2010 game !

This match made me mad

Great game.

The best USA Team of all the times

this world cup was cool

Onyewu was never the same after his knee injury. Around this time U.S had some players peaking that really were ruined by career altering injuries....Really unfortunate. Charlie Davies was really turning into a star in Ligue 1 and USMNT. Jermaine Jones in his prime also wasn't able to make the switch in time. With those three in form for this team I really think we had a chance to go far....Later on another guy Stuart Holden was becoming a young star in the EPL too...Really unfortunate for a nation looking to break through.

Donovan and dempsey were on fire in that worl cup 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I often wonder how much money they gave the reef. They probably had to give him 24/7 security at his home in Slovenia, and the security was probably very busy.

A little reminder; Luka Doncic is also Slovenian. These old Yugoslavian countries are just phenomenal in all sports.

Micheal Bradley to Toronto FC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The guy practically hugging Michael at 3:15

USA is making more efforts to reclaim their expected position in Men's World Soccer competition. USA had what it takes to be the greatest soccer Nation but they are careless about soccer other than their local sports like Basket ball, Base ball and American Football game. Recently USA had started working on how to bounce back in to the forgotten soccer game. US Women soccer is already on top among other Nation, while we are waiting for the Men's National team to lift the Men's World Cup.

What a game ! where can I watch the full match ?

of course donovan's one. The way he ran around the defender and dribbled in and shot at a tight angle

The disallowed goals against the US. Unprecedented, don't recall any other team and fifa allows it.

This ref should never ever ref another FIFA game.

And the penalty for Serbia wasnt called aganist Australia and it was a clear handball and if we did won that match we would be in r16

Handanovic, jeez. Some sparkles of what he would have become after some years.

I dont blame the golley, if that ball hits his face or nose, its instantly broken, so much power behind that shot.

🙏♥️ GLORIA A DIOS ♥️🙏

the winning goal that was disallowed for no freaking good reason

I'm surprised they showed that foul in the end... I remembered watching that game live and I was like really there was no foul what so ever and you called one... Robbed usa 3 points that day and saw him on the news and papers for it...

Well now USA got the same feeling vs Portugal tying. Funny how that happened.

SLOVENIA- USA 2-2 BRISE 13' LUIBUANKIC 42' DONOVAN 48' BRADLEY 82'

Man, its been 2 years since this match and I still can't see that foul.

If anything, the Americans were being fouled. If you look closely, there were several American players having their jerseys tugged on, or having the arms of their opponents wrapped around them.

Think what would of happen if we had him in 2014. He probably would of carried us to another Quarterfinals at lest. Only hope that Christian will do just as well in his first world cup

I have watched that free kick a dozen times...not once have I seen anything wrong with what happened...should have been a goal

0-1 Valter Birsa (13 min) 0-2 Zlatan Ljubijankič (42 min) 1-2 Landon Donovan (48 min) 2-2 Michael Bradley (82 min)

FIVE goals

Slovenia

This is one of the reason why we have VAR now

1:59 2010 World dodgeball champion

Donovan was a predator as a player!

C'mon FIFA, where's the HD?

2021

That is cheating

misleading title seen as the US beat scotland 5-1 with Donovan scoring his hatrick.... :?

3:05 No offside

Games like these make me proud to be an American. People may scrutinize the Americans at times, but there is one thing Americans will never do, and that is to give up.

It was redemption

After all these years I’m trying to look and figure out the offside call. No one even close to being off. I was freaking out when the call was made.

This irks me almost as much as that handball in the box in 2002.

Back when the USMNT really had guts, courage, and passion. If we're to have any hope, we need to recover that fighting American spirit again...Alas, I have not seen it in recent years.

Thank God that ref got fired. He absolutely robbed us. By all the rules of the game that was a goal for the US and therefore a memorable win.

the disallowed 5th goal

Gooch was directly responsible for both goals.

In USA when there is a foul the ref comes and explains it to the crowd on a mic. In soccer no explanation. Bullshit call that ended up causing us to be 2nd in the group and matching with Ghana

Cool

Okay I know that like 3 of the USA players were getting held and there was no call. But this is my first time seeing this, at 3:16 one of the USA players is in a HEADLOCK. What was that ref seeing?!

Meh, that's not quite as great as it sounds. Europeans face great competition and are prepared for every World Cup competition. The US has to deal with so many minnows aside from Mexico and Costa Rica. Thankfully, Honduras, Panama, Jamaica and others are rapidly improving. CONCACAF is definitely on the rise. Also, while CONCACAF gets 3.5 World Cup spots, UEFA gets 14, so Europeans can't complain if you don't make it. European teams have PLENTY of spots to claim their place in the World Cup.

Man I remember that lol. Dempsey? Ya probably offside. But Mo scored lol. He ran from the top of the box 😂😂😂😂😂

WTF was that referee looking at??????

That game wasn't two years ago though.

That ref deserves a ballon d'or 😂

Was there ever anything as to why the ref called a foul? He had to have given some rational to say XX player fouled XX player

No what you meant to say was "Man, its been 2 years and that ref still sucks"

Thankful for VAR now so these refs can save games.

Bradley's, followed by Donovan's, followed by Edu's.

donvan goal

so what? the frustration of that disallowed goal still bothers me, and every other US fan

Ref definitely didn't want that US moneyline to hit. Lol

Hey frank calm down. It's not that serious. Besides tuff talk like this over the web makes you look weak buddy. It says more about you than me. Everyone here is entitled to ones own opinion. Have a nice day 🤗

I'm still amazed Landon Donovan's roofer (1:58 in this video) is *not* on the official FIFA Top 10 goal list for this World Cup, or *any* Top 10 list from this World Cup that I can find (even in the US, the goal often doesn't make Top 10 goal lists, and the goal against Algeria takes its place). That is truly one of the most difficult and shocking goals I have ever seen! I *still* have *no idea* how he squeezed that ball perfectly over Handanovic's head, the crossbar, and the right post with only about 10 degrees of angle to work with! It was truly stunning, and arguably the *most* important goal scored in the entire group stage by *any* team! Think about it, *before* that goal, the US is *well* on its way to lose that game (they're down 2-0 at the time) and not even qualify for the knockout rounds! Let's be clear, if the US loses this game, and all future events remain the same, the US would *not* have gone through (the final table would have been Slovenia 6 points, England 5 points, USA 4 points, Algeria 1 point). Without that goal, Michael Bradley's goal later is meaningless as it is no longer the equalizer, the US loses this game, and the goal against Algeria is also meaningless because of this game's loss. But instead, the US draw this game and beat Algeria, and the final table *instead* reads: USA 5 points, England 5 points (USA higher due to goals scored), Slovenia 4 points, Algeria 1 point! The USA went from 2-0 down and almost certainly headed out of the tournament to *topping the group!* A *complete* reversal of fortunes that almost 100% is catalyzed by *that* one nearly impossible-to-score goal! Again, this goal deserves to be in more Top 10 lists for this World Cup! Truly one of the greatest and most impactful moments of this tournament (and one of the most sublime pieces of skill in the entire group stages)!

May I have an explanation as to why the winning goal was not allowed?
