Bradley ties it for U.S. 2-2, ends in a draw *

In the 81st minute, Michael Bradley scored for the U.S. to tie the World Cup game with Slovenia. The Yanks had been down 2-0. Landon Donovan scored the first U.S. goal.

85th minute: U.S. go-ahead goal disallowed on a foul. We heard the whistle on the air, but ESPN's announcers say based on video replay that there was no foul by the U.S. "The referee has had a bit of a nightmare here," says ESPN's British announcer.

Final: 2-2. "I don't think the referee was good enough," ESPN's Brit announcer says.
