Cleveland has long been a tortured sports city. The Drive, The Fumble, a lengthy streak of futility and bad luck for the Indians, and of course the beloved Browns leaving for Baltimore have agonized the city's sports fans.

The United States National Team defeated the Algeria National Team 1-0 to win group C at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Tshwane/Pretoria, South Africa in a 2010 FIFA World Cup Group C match.

Thanks to a dramatic goal by Landon Donovan in stoppage time, the United States World Cup team has locked up a mention on ESPN's Sportscenter for at least another few days or so. Had the U.S. lost to or tied Algeria, they almost certainly would have been left out of cable and satellite television's most prominent highlight and sports news program.
