Team USA Faces Africa's Last Hope This Saturday






Thanks to Landon Donovan's heroic last minute goal, Team USA has advanced to Round Two of the World Cup. On Saturday they take on Ghana, the only African team to advance to the second round.

The Ghana Black Stars are a worthy opponent, with the hopes of the whole African continent riding upon their shoulders. They are playing well, even with Chelsea star Michael Essien on the sidelines with an ACL injury.

Team USA may benefit from the unusually cold weather in South Africa the past few weeks. Being in the southern hemisphere it is winter there, and several African teams have voiced concerns about the low temps. (Not to worry, for tourists from temperate climates, the weather is still pleasant.)

Whichever team you are rooting for, this looks to be a fantastic match and gets a full five-stars on the "must see" index. The game airs at 2:30pm EDT on ABC.
