2010 World Cup: Day 8

Serbia 1, Germany 0
After putting the volley in the back of the net, Jovanovic ran off the field and past a barrier to celebrate with rapturous Serbian fans.
U.S. 2, Slovenia 2
Given the space to create by Oguchi Onewu, Slovenian striker Valter Birsa (10) lets loose a left footed strike from well outside the area. Tim Howard watches helplessly as the ball floats into the back of the net to put Slovenia ahead 1-0.
U.S. 2, Slovenia 2
Landon Donovan avoids the Slovenian tackle and darts down the sideline to spur the counter-attack. Donovan scored his first World Cup goal since 2002 and was a catalyst for the US during the second half comeback that made his side only the 5th in World Cup history to earn a draw after falling behind 2-0.
All day, England had difficulties getting the ball to its forward Emile Heskey (21). In the first half, Heskey had only one touch in the box. And when he did touch the ball, he was swarmed by Algerian defenders.
Jamie Carragher (18) earned England's only booking of the match with a yellow card in the 58th minute. As a result, he will miss England's final group-stage match against Slovenia on Wednesday.
England's Peter Crouch (right) was subbed on in the 83rd minute but failed to provide a late-match offensive spark. England has now been held scoreless for 176 minutes.
