US - Slovenia: Something To Make Us Smile

Two Points for Flinching? I wish...

In a game marred by a terrible start by the US and a the worst call in World Cup history by the referee as he called back the US's winning goal in the 88th minute.... The bright spot of the match.

This is the worst nightmare of any GK. This morning, Samir Handanovic found himself caught in a bit of a back pedal as attacking US player charged to goal. When Landon Donovan unleashed a rocket what was Handanovic's reaction? Certainly, nothing that had any semblance of "SAVE" in it.

I'll call this the first legit goal of the WC for the US, fair enough?
