VIDEO: Landon Donovan’s ‘Breathtakingly Exciting’ Goal

On Wednesday, against Algeria, in the 91st minute, Landon Donovan scored the greatest goal in U.S. soccer history. This is best presented without further comment.

So many great moments.

  • Tim Howard’s unbelievablly accurate outlet pass to Donovan.
  • Ian Darke’s brilliant call: “And Donovan has scored! oh, can you believe this?! Goal, goal, USA! Certainly through! Oh, it’s incredible! You could not write a script like this!”
  • Darke then handling the analysis for John Harkes, the former USMNT midfielder who was seemingly too overwhelmed with emotion to fully describe what just happened.
  • Oh, and, you know, the goal itself. It was indeed, “breathtakingly exciting.”
