A Bummer and Not...
Slovenia is out of the World Cup.
@ 10:00 am EST, they were sitting at the top of their group.
@ 11:48 am EST, they were sitting 2nd in the group, ready to move on.
@ 11:49 am EST, Landon Donovan scored in injury time after the 90 minutes of regular game time had dissipated.
@ 11:49 am EST, Slovenia slipped from 2nd to 3rd and, thus, to out of this year's World Cup.
An incredibly steep fall in such a short time.
Well, if anyone were to score and deserved to score it was great to see Donovan do it. He was the most involved player of the game (most # of touches, 67, during the match) and, obviously, the Man of the Match (player of the game). A rakija to all of the Slovenian players for making it to the 362nd minute of World Cup play before being eliminated.
Not:
USA is in, in fact, they just finished at the top of their group!
What great games (from what I heard). Can't wait for the replays tonight.
So, in four years in Brazil perhaps we'll get a chance to see Slovenia again. And Croatia, of course!
