The newest Yank Abroad?
U.S. midfielder Landon Donovan scored a goal for the Americans in their 2-1 defeat to Ghana on Saturday that eliminated the U.S. from the World Cup.But Donovan has more on his mind right now than the U.S. loss. SI.com has learned that a British tabloid is set to run a story in which a U.K. woman says she is pregnant with Donovan's child.
Donovan has been separated for nearly a year from his wife, actress Bianca Kajlich, though they are not yet legally divorced. They have no children.
"I was informed of the possibility during the World Cup, and if I need to take responsibility, then I will provide the appropriate support," Donovan told SI.com. "This is a private matter and I will refrain from further comment at this time."
Donovan scored three goals for the U.S. in the 2010 World Cup, making him the highest career World Cup goal-scorer in the history of CONCACAF (with five).

Cherundolo was set to become a free agent this summer and had been linked with clubs such as AS Roma, but the extension with Hannover will keep him at the club where he's played all his 11 professional seasons. Hannover Website Link

The game will always be remembered for Green's gaffe, but let's be honest, the Yanks worked hard for their draw. I discussed this during the World Cup History Series, but luck has a major part to play in the World Cup. Let's hope the ball continues to bounce in our favor. I know that ESPN3 allows you to rewatch it, but here is the full match for those who can't get ESPN3.

USA World Cup History Part 20: USA vs Ghana 2006 Full Match
This is the final installment to the USA World Cup History Series. It has taken a long time to find, download, and then reupload. Hopefully, it has been worth it for USMNT to learn something about where we have come from and to possibly relive the pain and joys that come with each World Cup. I said I would try to get all of the games up before the World Cup, and I am a man of my word. I wanted to finish with this game because this was the last impression we left at the World Cup. It makes me want to beat England that much more to show that we are better than this.

USA World Cup History Part 17: USA vs Italy 1934 (Highlights)
The video after the jump is more of a novelty than an exciting watch, but I have it up nonetheless. More interesting is the history behind it which I will quote from World Cup Blog.
Only 16 teams entered the 1934 World Cup proper, but to be amongst those 16 the USA faced a playoff against Mexico three days before the tournament began. The playoff was in Rome, and so to all intents and purposes was part of the World Cup. Except officially it was a qualifier. Imagine if that still happened? If Thierry Henry’s handball against Ireland had been three days before World Cup 2010 began? Craziness.The US won the game 4-2, with all four goals coming from Aldo “Buff” Donelli (pictured). I can’t pretend to know anything about Donelli, so will quote from this excellent USSoccer.com article instead:
Donelli wasn’t picked to start, but on the urging of Billy Gonslaves, the team’s biggest star, ‘Buff’ was included in the starting line-up. Gonslaves knew what no one else did – ‘Buff’ could score. Donelli sliced and diced his way through the Mexican defense, netting all four goals for the U.S. in a 4-2 win that propelled them into the World Cup. Donelli opened the scoring with a goal in the 15th minute, and then broke a 1-1 deadlock with goals in the 30th and 73rd minutes, before topping off the match with an 87th minute strike. Donelli had a chance for five goals, but amazingly missed a penalty kick. By accomplishing the feat, Donelli became the first player in U.S. Soccer history to score four goals in one game.
The actual 1934 World Cup had no group stages. It was lose and you’re out. The US faced hosts Italy in the First Round and were beaten 7-1. Over and out. The only bright spot was that Donelli scored again in that game. He never played international soccer again, but has an impressive scoring record of 5 goals in two games.

I remember taking the day off for this one. Should have just gone to work. Game would have been interesting if Reyna's shot had gone in though. But like I said yesterday, never underestimate the power of luck in the World Cup (for better or worse).
