A compilation of reactions to the Landon Donovan last-gasp goal scored in the USA's final group match at the World Cup on June 23 was watched nearly 2.5 million times by YouTube users in the week ending on Thursday, July 1, making it the most viewed sports video during that time. Clue: A lot of men chant "USA, USA, USA."

Even goalscorer Donovan mentioned it on his Twitter and Facebook accounts, inspiring belief as the United States' squad prepared to play against eventual semi-finalists Ghana.

Other videos include the French coach Raymond Domenech declining to shake hands with his South African counterpart, Carlos Parreira, after crashing out of the World Cup, some fancy footwork from Spanish winger Juan Mata, and a match officials' synchronized warm-up set to music.
