This one and abby's goal in the usa vs brazil womens worldcup are prob the two best comm made in usa soccer history I would say of all of usa sports but then people wouldget butthurt cuz soccer isnt big in the usa which is sad
Is it me or is Ian Darke the worlds best sportscaster. I would watch him commentating gay scat porn, he is that good. He Made a great American sports moment even better.
I know Ian and he loves MLS and the US national team. Said he broke a good pair of headphones when Donovan scored as he jumped up and the got pulled to the floor and smashed them as he was jumping up and done. Wish there was video of that.
Two years later and I still get chills, I still get teary. What a moment. One of the great sports calls of all time. If only American commentators could call a game that well.
@dkb2778 Just as American soccer players are going abroad to learn how to raise their games, maybe some US TV commentators should do the same. I think it would make a difference in fan appreciation in this country if the games were called better.
I actually wept after seeing this. One for what I witnessed, and second for thinking no one else in America even watched. Glad I was wrong on number two.
I remember i pulled a all nighter so i could watch this game and fell asleep during pre-game and woke up to my brother yelling when landon donovan scored....
ian darke should do every major soccer game around the world.. world cups, champions league final, mls playoffs, manchester united vs man city, barca vs real madrid.
had a day off from work that day, and i chose to stay home and watch this rather than go to a celebrity pro-am golf tournament. best decision of the summer, this gets me every time!
@shutoutgoalie8209 lol I was joking. Buck would've done the opposite: "Dempsey's shot is blocked and... Donovan scores. USA will advance and coming up next on FOX... Cops. And after that.... Cops. And after that... Family Guy. And later on... Cops. Good Night."
this is on the podium with the miracle on ice as one of the greatest moments in american sports history. my glasses managed to travel about 40 feet when i jumped and lost my mind at this. fucking epic.
oh mygod i remember how i screamed when he made that goal. man that was awesome, one day ian darke will do the same call for me as i win the usa its first fifa world cup
i commented on the quality of the video as an explanation for the dislikes, which you so racially attributed to algeria having only 2 people on youtube.
But considering your country is established on racism from 1607, it's not surprising that you people still have that mentality...
anyway, ur just a 15 yr old yankee, which means, by universal standards, u have a mentality of an 8 year old - i wouldn't have replied to ur comment in the 1st place had i known that
@ShtaryBud wow, ouch, i am so afraid of what a random stereotypical internet person says. Oh wait, I couldn't care less. You say we are racist. We got over that. You are the one still saying "you people". And by the way, how does me liking this video make me racist.
Sorry, but when people are celebrating their nations success, they dont go buy an HD camera. Either dont complain,or watch somewhere else
I'm trilingual. I know it's an uncommon thing where you come from, but it's very common elsewhere.
But speaking ENGLISH fluently has nothing to do with wanting to be AMERICAN.
And like I said, I wasn't hating on the USA win. Congratulations to them, they were the better team and they won. But there's no need for people to post racist comments against the opposition on YouTube.
I think it more Americans, especially in poorer communities, realized just how much the stars made who played in the EPL or any of the other major leagues in Europe made, we'd see improvements much more quickly.
Ian Darke is the man. Awesome commentary. Just got goosebumps after watching it again a year later. His call of the Women's USA v Brazil goal was excellent on Sunday, too.
@jazzx251 Yerh I've heard some American commentators and they're absolute shite... hehe they're getting so happy over an average commentator (Ian Darke) MOTTY ALL THE WAY BABAY!
Howard gratefully claims it, distribution... brilliant. Landon Donovan... there are things on here for the USA.. can they do it here?! Cross! Dempsey is denied again! BUT DONOVAN HAS SCORED!!!!!!! OH CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS!!!!! GO GO, USA!!!!!!!!!! CERTAINLY THROUGH!!!!!!!!!! Ohhhhh its INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!! You could not WRITE a script like THIS!!!!!!!!!!
@IVdaaze Ian Darke is absolutely top class. I live in the US and no one comes close to his verbal variety, timing, awareness, emphasis, etc. Any American (soccer...or any other sport) announcer would have fumbled that call like Ricky Williams.
@pbfoley seriously, i live in the states too and listening to Joe Buck (dude who announces like every big game) would have just been like "And DONOVAN SCORES. THE US WINS. WOW, THAT WAS CRAZY." lol
If Ian Darke keeps announcing American soccer he's going to suffer a heart attack, first it was the Donovan goal and today it was Wambach of the women's team.
2002 U.S makes a good run into the quarter finals
2006 U.S fails to win a game
2010 U.S comes in first in their group and makes it to round of 16
2014 I think were screwd ;(
WHY? we lost at the gold cup final and our U-20 squad didnt even make the U-20 world cup IF YOU BELEIVE IN U.S SOCCER THEN LIKE THIS COMMENT SO PEOPLE CAN SEE IT!!!
I'm watching the womens world cup right now, and thought i should relive this goal. I remember getting home in time to see we weren't going to advance. I was talking to my dad telling him we were about to tie when this play happened. I was screaming on the phone lol. Greatest sports moment ever for me
If our athletes grew up playing soccer, we'd be unstoppable. Imagine Lebron in goal? Or better yet, Allen Iverson might have been the greatest soccer player ever to come out of America.
I don't know what it is about soccer. It's the biggest youth sport in this country, but the stigma attached to it just kills participation as you get into high school. All the parents want their kids playing football and basketball and the support just falls through the roof. Probably will take another decade or two to get past the parents that don't realize a child's potential at a sport because they'd rather have little Johnny, football star instead of the next Dempsey or Donovan.
well duh...can you name me a better tandem up top than lebron james and derrick rose, with chris johnson or reggie bush as an attacking midfielder?...its obvious that if the united states put their best athletes on the soccer field, as every other country does, that they could never be beaten.
This is probably the greatest counterattack in the history of soccer. after watching this i cried for like 30 mins. the stage was immense and now im really glad that this happened cus this opened americas perspective to the sport up. Ive always loved this sport and im now proud to say it in america. I wanna thank tim howard landon donovan clint dempsey and jozy altidore for this wonderful moment in american soccer and of course ian darke for the calling of the game
The weird thing is that the fans from the UK and USA were pulling for each other that day. Before the match Group B has follows 1 . Slovenia 4 pts. England & USA 2 pts and Algeria 1 pt. If the game ended in a draw the USA was out because England was beating Slovenia.
@Renagade70 I think we were rooting for England 1: Because it would've been better for us, and 2: We were REALLY pissed at the Slovenia game, freakin' referee denied us the win against Slovenia, and no disrespect to the actual team we were still pissed.
@adgaliff point granted -- wasn't alive for the miracle on ice, and watched this live, so definitely biased. When we win the world cup, it's going to be mass hysteria.
@tigereye04, One of these days, U.S. soccer will create its own "Miracle." Its getting closer. Beating Spain in the 2009 Confed. Cup, then almost beating Brazil in the final, then this 2010 WC coupled with many young, U-20 players coming up. Its getting closer to happening.
@ShtaryBud lol, i am over it. it was a happy moment that people like to remember. your the one who hates just because of this game, so get over it.we won, its over. done. stop crying and making up insults to feel better.
Since Johan Cruijff couldn't get Americans to watch soccer, no one can. Certainly not donovan even though this goal was well deserved. A brilliant last minute goal.
@Gocavs1990 Well, the entire situation is completely different. More people in the USA pay attention now (thanks to AYSO, parents at least understand the game more since their kids play it, and kids who grew up playing AYSO at least pay attention during WC's, if not the leagues at all) than did back during the Cold War, as any sport where people didn't use their hands was considered "Communist", a good "Blue-Collar" sport.
@totahstreetjhon Are you taking the piss? I said that if America really focused on soccer then they COULD win the world cup. Look at countries like Spain, Brazil and Germany, countries who are generating a tradition of finding young talent and developing it. Don't be arrogant enough to think that America will dominate world sport, and what you were saying about 3rd world countries...wtf?? Ghana did incredibly at the world cup. I really don't understand your point mate, sounds like you're dumb.
@retroboydeccles Please don't judge all of us Americans by this idiot @totahstreetjhon Not all of us are ignorant and idiotic. Not all of us have a severe lack of class.
You made a really good point. And speaking as an American, I can say for myself that I fell in love with World Cup Soccer when I saw this game. Landon Donovan may have made the shot that will generate the needed interest in the sport to make it a higher priority.
@AngusGibsonT Trust me dude you can go anywhere in the world and find idiots like that guy, but I do actually have a very high opinion of you americans, haha. Yeah Landon Donovan would be amazing in any league in the world. It's all up to finding another player of his class for the states now. Then you can start to build a real 'soccer' tradition over on your side.
From an english perspective, I think you yanks have the chance of being world champions in a few decades. You have quality emerging, but it's all about how America's focus on sport is. You guys obviously have your 'football' which is the most popular sport for you, as is basketball. But what I'm trying to say is that if America really focused on the development of 'soccer' players and the game as a whole, you guys could do it.
@retroboydeccles thanks for that. I've played soccer and basketball my whole life, and no one watches soccer. And I apreciate being called a yankee. I agree with you. We have some talent budding, but the better players mihgt always be in Europe.
@retroboydeccles thanks for that. I've played soccer and basketball my whole life, and no one watches soccer. And I appreciate being called a yankee. I agree with you. We have some talent budding, but the better players mihgt always be in Europe.
@retroboydeccles, Very interesting and respectful (much appreciated) perspective. I have noticed that the U.S. has some very young players who have some premier goal scorers which was what was lacking at the WC 2010 and other international comps. Just not enough guys that can put the ball through the net.
@retroboydeccles Though the mls is still struggling in quality, the US has taken great strides in the youth developmental program. I play for DC United academy team and last year we tied west hams youth team, as well as beat china's national team for our age group. The quality of the players that i have been surrounded with is unbelievable, and although you cant see it now the generation of soccer players being raised now is of the likes the US has never seen before
@retroboydeccles I really enjoy your respect for us because when I watch soccer, football (btw thank you for not starting a fuss over the name of the game aswell lol), it's all filled with hate toward the US and how we aren't 'doing it right'. Just nice to see someone with respect, because there ARE many people who love the game here in America not as many as other places, but the ones who follow it here are devoted fans. Including me, I LOVE THIS SPORT!
@degree4man with the exception of the fatass linemen, bulldozer linebackers, slow tight ends, slow QBs (maybe Vick could make it). The only positions that have players who would thrive in soccer under the right training and conditions would be cornerback and the speedy small-sized wide receivers (DJax/Hester/Harvin/Jacoby Ford etc). RBs are usually too muscular as a group.
@retroboydeccles Well, a lot of us take soccer seriously, and are really good. My coach, (who is REALLY good) got offered to play for LA Galaxy, and the national team, and he DENIED it. I guess a lot of us don't think we can do it, or are afraid of what might happen. Getting flamethrowers thrown at you, blown up, sniped, I have no idea! We do already have quality, just not enough.
I have watched this so many times and it is yet too get old

Probably will take another decade or two to get past the parents that don't realize a child's potential at a sport because they'd rather have little Johnny, football star instead of the next Dempsey or Donovan.

well duh...can you name me a better tandem up top than lebron james and derrick rose, with chris johnson or reggie bush as an attacking midfielder?...its obvious that if the united states put their best athletes on the soccer field, as every other country does, that they could never be beaten.

This is probably the greatest counterattack in the history of soccer. after watching this i cried for like 30 mins. the stage was immense and now im really glad that this happened cus this opened americas perspective to the sport up. Ive always loved this sport and im now proud to say it in america. I wanna thank tim howard landon donovan clint dempsey and jozy altidore for this wonderful moment in american soccer and of course ian darke for the calling of the game

@wutupmayne Donovan's Goal against Brazil was a pretty amazing counter-attack if you watched the 2009 Confederation's Cup.

The weird thing is that the fans from the UK and USA were pulling for each other that day. Before the match Group B has follows 1 . Slovenia 4 pts. England & USA 2 pts and Algeria 1 pt. If the game ended in a draw the USA was out because England was beating Slovenia.
Renagade70 9 months ago
@Renagade70 I think we were rooting for England 1: Because it would've been better for us, and 2: We were REALLY pissed at the Slovenia game, freakin' referee denied us the win against Slovenia, and no disrespect to the actual team we were still pissed.

@adgaliff point granted -- wasn't alive for the miracle on ice, and watched this live, so definitely biased. When we win the world cup, it's going to be mass hysteria.
tigereye04 10 months ago
@tigereye04, One of these days, U.S. soccer will create its own "Miracle." Its getting closer. Beating Spain in the 2009 Confed. Cup, then almost beating Brazil in the final, then this 2010 WC coupled with many young, U-20 players coming up. Its getting closer to happening.

@tigereye04 maybe second to the miracle on ice.... but as soon as we win the world cup, it will become the biggest moment.

Since Johan Cruijff couldn't get Americans to watch soccer, no one can. Certainly not donovan even though this goal was well deserved. A brilliant last minute goal.
Gocavs1990 10 months ago
@Gocavs1990 Well, the entire situation is completely different. More people in the USA pay attention now (thanks to AYSO, parents at least understand the game more since their kids play it, and kids who grew up playing AYSO at least pay attention during WC's, if not the leagues at all) than did back during the Cold War, as any sport where people didn't use their hands was considered "Communist", a good "Blue-Collar" sport.

@totahstreetjhon Are you taking the piss? I said that if America really focused on soccer then they COULD win the world cup. Look at countries like Spain, Brazil and Germany, countries who are generating a tradition of finding young talent and developing it. Don't be arrogant enough to think that America will dominate world sport, and what you were saying about 3rd world countries...wtf?? Ghana did incredibly at the world cup. I really don't understand your point mate, sounds like you're dumb.

@retroboydeccles Please don't judge all of us Americans by this idiot @totahstreetjhon Not all of us are ignorant and idiotic. Not all of us have a severe lack of class.
You made a really good point. And speaking as an American, I can say for myself that I fell in love with World Cup Soccer when I saw this game. Landon Donovan may have made the shot that will generate the needed interest in the sport to make it a higher priority.
Cheers, mate.

@AngusGibsonT Trust me dude you can go anywhere in the world and find idiots like that guy, but I do actually have a very high opinion of you americans, haha. Yeah Landon Donovan would be amazing in any league in the world. It's all up to finding another player of his class for the states now. Then you can start to build a real 'soccer' tradition over on your side.

From an english perspective, I think you yanks have the chance of being world champions in a few decades. You have quality emerging, but it's all about how America's focus on sport is. You guys obviously have your 'football' which is the most popular sport for you, as is basketball. But what I'm trying to say is that if America really focused on the development of 'soccer' players and the game as a whole, you guys could do it.

@retroboydeccles thanks for that. I've played soccer and basketball my whole life, and no one watches soccer. And I apreciate being called a yankee. I agree with you. We have some talent budding, but the better players mihgt always be in Europe.

@retroboydeccles, Very interesting and respectful (much appreciated) perspective. I have noticed that the U.S. has some very young players who have some premier goal scorers which was what was lacking at the WC 2010 and other international comps. Just not enough guys that can put the ball through the net.

@retroboydeccles Though the mls is still struggling in quality, the US has taken great strides in the youth developmental program. I play for DC United academy team and last year we tied west hams youth team, as well as beat china's national team for our age group. The quality of the players that i have been surrounded with is unbelievable, and although you cant see it now the generation of soccer players being raised now is of the likes the US has never seen before

@retroboydeccles I really enjoy your respect for us because when I watch soccer, football (btw thank you for not starting a fuss over the name of the game aswell lol), it's all filled with hate toward the US and how we aren't 'doing it right'. Just nice to see someone with respect, because there ARE many people who love the game here in America not as many as other places, but the ones who follow it here are devoted fans. Including me, I LOVE THIS SPORT!

@retroboydeccles if we put half the athletes in the NFL on the pitch, we'd be world champs in 8 years.

@degree4man with the exception of the fatass linemen, bulldozer linebackers, slow tight ends, slow QBs (maybe Vick could make it). The only positions that have players who would thrive in soccer under the right training and conditions would be cornerback and the speedy small-sized wide receivers (DJax/Hester/Harvin/Jacoby Ford etc). RBs are usually too muscular as a group.
p4pking1804 8 months ago
@retroboydeccles Well, a lot of us take soccer seriously, and are really good. My coach, (who is REALLY good) got offered to play for LA Galaxy, and the national team, and he DENIED it. I guess a lot of us don't think we can do it, or are afraid of what might happen. Getting flamethrowers thrown at you, blown up, sniped, I have no idea! We do already have quality, just not enough.
