All American heroes – Slovenia 2-2 USA

Johannesburg the test room
For Coach Bradley’s teams character
Two goals down and out
Bradley junior popped a late leveller

Slovenia were well on the way
Birsa’s brilliant bending shot
Ljubijankic drilled in to double
A whisker before the half-time pot

Ellis Park a feverish cauldron
Swashbuckling Landon Donovon
Aiming for the goalie’s head
One back by the States top man

With Bradley squaring the game
Still time to whip up the crowd
Goal from Maurice Edu
Ref Coulibaly disallowed
