So I found the full ESPN version of the #USMNT/Algeria match that I downloaded ages ago and I apologize in advance because I& #39;m totally about to watch the whole thing and live tweet it.

Hold onto your butts.
LETS GO!

#USMNT
Are there two more opposite ends of the spectrum than Donovan and Bornstein?
Why Bob put Edu back on the bench in favor of Rico after this match, I& #39;ll never understand.

#USMNT
How was Algeria& #39;s gameplan NOT to attack our left side?

We had Bornstein at LB and Dempsey at left-mid, but basically a third striker. 3-minutes in, Edu has already had to provide emergency cover twice.

#USMNT
6& #39;: I completely forgot that Algeria hit the crossbar early. Our backline was an adventure in 2010.

#USMNT
11& #39;:
Ian Darke: "I don& #39;t know what everyone is feeling watching back home, but I know I& #39;m tense."

Give that man honorary citizenship.

#USMNT
16& #39;: I also forgot how everyone complained about the ball in the lead up to this tournament. Both teams have already had 3 shots sail well over the goal.

#USMNT
19& #39;: Still remember my rage when this was called offside, a second goal disallowed in three days.

Also, great buildup by Jozy and Bradley to set this up.

#USMNT
Oh to have been a fly on the wall for those Bill and Sepp conversations.
34& #39;: First real chance since the disallowed goal... Dempsey on the counter, hit Jozy out wide, cross to Donovan, who hit fit one in to Dempsey& #39;s late run to force a save.

It& #39;s a bummer that we hardly ever saw those 3 on the field at the same time after this tournament.

#USMNT
Two minutes later, Jozy blasts one over an empty net from 5 yards out.

Jozy was so good this tournament, had the huge assist against Slovenia, he just had a tough time finding the goal.

#USMNT
HALF: It& #39;s nuts that this was scoreless at the half... the midfield was WIIIIIDE open.

Should& #39;ve been 1-1 or 2-1 at least... now the real fun begins.

#USMNT
This is how the second half starts...
57& #39;: Prime-Bradley was such a damn machine.

Win& #39;s the ball in his own box, starts the break, hits Jozy on the wing, beats a man and finds Clint, who hits the post then blasts the follow-up into the seats.

I still remember the collective groan from the bar crowd.

#USMNT
64& #39;:

"A Pain Train has entered the chat"

#USMNT
69& #39;: With England up 1-0 on Slovenia in the other match, Algeria is parking the bus at this point

Still, Cherundolo (https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Red heart" aria-label="Emoji: Red heart">) makes an awesome run across field, puts it a beautiful cross, Jozy heads it RIGHT at the keeper.

Ouch.

#USMNT
76& #39;: We have 7 shots on target, they have 2.

Still 0-0, also Donovan has been really quiet so far in this.

#USMNT
...make that 8 shots on target because Bradley just rocketed one off of a free kick.

I know what happens and I still feel the anxiety building.

#USMNT
80& #39;: The legend #RunDMB comes in to play left back, but really to add an extra winger.

Little does he know that in 4 years, he& #39;s going to reinvent his career and play every minute in Germany as a LB.

Love that man.

#USMNT
83& #39;: This is intense.

We& #39;re basically playing a 3-1-6 at this point. Bradley is the only midfield doing dirty work, everyone else is BOMBING forward.

#USMNT
Hell yeah Deuce.

#USMNT
87& #39;:

...Yep

#USMNT
Here.

We.

Go.
This looks promising...
Really promising...
NO!

...wait
YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
Still gives me chills.
