USA vs. Ghana World Cup odds were available at Sportsbetting.com (see website here) Both teams advanced into the second round of the 2010 World Cup.

USA comes into their next match at near even odds while Ghana would pay out just shy of US$19 for every US$10 bet.

Landon Donovan scored on a lightning fast counterattack 45 seconds into 4 minutes of injury time. With the most amazing late-game moment in American soccer, the United States beat Algeria 1-0.

"This team embodies what the American spirit is about," Donovan said. "We had a goal disallowed the other night. We had another good goal disallowed tonight. But we just keep going. And I think that's what people admire so much about Americans. And I'm damn proud."

The last minute score was sure to make this one of the most memorable games of the 2010 World Cup.

"That's probably going to capture more people's attention than if we won the game 3-0 and it was easy," American goalkeeper Tim Howard said. "That emotion, that passion is what American sports fans thrive on."

Earlier, Clint Dempsey appeared to score in the 21st minute off the rebound of Herculez Gomez's shot. But the goal was called offside.

Meanwhile, Ghana became the first African nation to advance into the next round even though they lost to Germany on Wednesday.

Ghana has now progressed in both its World Cup appearances, becoming the second African nation to reach the knockout stage in consecutive World Cups, along with Nigeria in 1994 and 1998.

The Black Stars pushed the U.S. out of the tournament in 2006.

Team USA's odds to win the 2010 World Cup were now at 30/1 while Ghana came in with odds of 40/1.
