USA fan Jason Potterton in the Soccernet office: <i>It is so fitting that it was Donovan who scored the goal. He has done so much for the team and helped get them where they are today.</i>

What a dramatic conclusion, and that means USA will face the side that finishes second in Group D. That is currently Germany, but they are playing Ghana and you would expect them to win that. USA will probably face Ghana or Serbia in the next round.
