00:00...point or a goal following defeats to Correia Republic and Portugal.
00:05And they'll be looking to Emmanuel Olissidebe, who scored eight times in qualification,
00:11to try and give them a positive note on which to finish.
00:16And for the United States, they had to defend for long spells in their 1-1 draw against Correia Republic.
00:24And the experience of Ernie Stewart comes back into the team, replacing DeMarcus Beasley for this game.
00:34Plenty of experience on the bench for both teams.
00:41Jürze Engel hoping his team can give a passionate footballing nation something to enjoy.
00:50Bruce Arena will have his thoughts fixed on the round of 16.
00:56Jacek Zielinski, one of the Legia Warsaw players in this side.
01:10And two games underway simultaneously at the stadium in Incheon, Correia Republic meeting Portugal.
01:24Flighted in, and then the shot across the face of goal.
01:29Reina's initial delivery, but the whistle...
01:38Chris Nowak will deliver the quarter in.
01:42Olissidebe!
01:46And Poland have the lead.
01:49Emmanuel Olissidebe, their leading goal scorer in qualification.
01:56Scores their first goal at this 2002 FIFA World Cup.
02:04His header was initially blocked.
02:07And then he thundered in the rebound off the underside of the crossbar.
02:16That's a great finish.
02:20And USA find themselves a goal down.
02:25And you will have noticed all of the Korea Republic supporters here are firmly behind Poland.
02:32McBride.
02:34And then Donovan, but the whistle has gone, and it won't count.
02:39What an incredible start to the game.
02:45The referee disallowing it for pushing inside the area.
02:55And it did seem that the goalkeeper collided with a teammate as they head her away from Barowski.
03:06And then Donovan penalised there for the challenge on Klawski.
03:17Chaotic start to the game.
03:19And Poland are coming forward again now.
03:21And the cross in, it's 2-0!
03:25Krzyzewicz!
03:31And the Polish and Korean supporters are loving this.
03:35Bruce Arena can't believe it.
03:38Moments after his team had a goal disallowed.
03:41They are two down within five minutes.
03:47The cross in again from Kriz Nowek.
03:51He set up the first goal.
03:53And that was an excellent ball into that corridor of uncertainty on the edge of the six-yard area.
03:59And it was swept in by Chris Salovic.
04:04The one starting this game.
04:07Rainer.
04:10Now Mathis.
04:13And he lets fly.
04:16Well, we saw him do that and score against Korea Republic.
04:21Wide on this occasion.
04:27Chris Salovic.
04:29Beyond O'Brien.
04:33Hope coming across and Chris Salovic is away from him as well.
04:37What a brilliant run.
04:38He nearly found Elisa Debe.
04:39And in the end the shot blocked by Friedel.
04:41Not once but twice.
04:43An incredible double save.
04:45Elisa Debe.
04:46And it's behind.
04:47And what an escape.
04:50For USA.
04:52Chris Salovic with a brilliant run.
04:54The first shot from Chris Nowek was kept out.
05:00And then Friedel able to respond and keep out the rebound as well.
05:04That was the first effort from Chris Nowek.
05:08And then it came out to Zanowski.
05:11And deflected onto the post.
05:14Rainer.
05:14USA.
05:15A bit narrow at the moment.
05:17But O'Brien gets the shot in which took a deflection.
05:19And Majdan able to make the save.
05:23Maybe two deflections on the way through.
05:26Certainly off Kloss and then.
05:31Mathis.
05:36And the shot.
05:38Is high over the top by O'Brien.
05:47Corner kick.
05:51Played short to O'Brien.
05:54And that is half time.
05:56Poland with two goals in the opening five minutes.
05:59It's from Elisa Debe and Chris Salovic.
06:02And the United States at the moment.
06:05Are heading out of the FIFA World Cup.
06:08They need help from elsewhere.
06:11Poland.
06:12Leading by two goals to nil.
06:24Here is Elisa Debe on the attack right from the start.
06:31No changes made by either side at half time.
06:35DeMarcus Beasley already replacing the injured Jeff Agoose.
06:43Another change for USA.
06:46They need goals.
06:48And they are bringing on Joe Max Moore of Everton to replace Brian McBride.
06:59He's quickly played short.
07:01Kosminski with the cross.
07:03Oh!
07:03A header in!
07:06Zalakoff!
07:07I think it's his first touch.
07:09And he's made it 3-0.
07:14And USA's FIFA World Cup hopes hang by a very slender thread now.
07:23What an introduction for Marcin Zalakoff.
07:28The cross in from Kosminski.
07:30Zalakoff arriving late through the crowd.
07:33And he powered that header.
07:37Beyond Brad Friedel.
07:42An inspired change from Jürtse Engel.
07:47His team lead 3-0.
07:49And they're going home.
07:52Wreathed in smiles.
07:54What's happening elsewhere?
07:56As the ball forwarded to the penalty area.
07:59Finding Donovan.
08:00The shot from Moore is blocked.
08:02Moore again.
08:03Mathis over the top.
08:06It's just not happening for them.
08:08From the stadium.
08:12USA may not be aware of what's going on in any case.
08:16There's nothing they can do about it.
08:19What happens here.
08:21Is now wholly dependent.
08:23On what happens at Incheon.
08:25As Kobe Jones.
08:27Looks to break.
08:29O'Brien.
08:30Delivering the ball in.
08:31It was chested off by Moore.
08:33It'll come to Rayner who hits it.
08:35And it's saved.
08:35By Majdan.
08:37O'Brien.
08:40Poland will clear again.
08:44Four on three in this attack.
08:49Grasalovic.
08:50It goes down under the challenge.
08:52It's a penalty.
08:57Tony Sanna the player penalised.
09:01USA were outnumbered.
09:04There was some desperation in the challenge.
09:08And Grasalovic.
09:10Caught by Sanna.
09:13And the referee had.
09:16A pretty simple call to make.
09:19Zdowski will take the penalty.
09:21Brad Friedl.
09:23Saved one in the game against Guerrero Republic.
09:25And he saved one again here.
09:31Majdan.
09:32Zdowski denied.
09:37Again another really good penalty save.
09:40From Friedl.
09:40Guessing right.
09:41Zdowski.
09:45Struck it well but.
09:47Jones.
09:51Beasley.
09:53Sanna is forward here.
09:56Donovan in the centre.
09:59Moore.
10:01The cross is deep.
10:02Mathis!
10:05And it's off the upright.
10:07Post.
10:10Reiner.
10:16Jones.
10:19Kobe Jones still full of running.
10:21Of course coming from the bench.
10:24Mathis and Donovan!
10:25And USA do have a goal.
10:30And there's no doubt Landon Donovan deserves that.
10:37Majdan is finally beaten.
10:40And Landon Donovan, one of the young stars of Major League Soccer.
10:47is on the score sheet at the FIFA World Cup.
10:50Clever assist.
10:53From Clint Mathis who scored in the previous game.
10:57And Donovan.
10:58On the volley.
11:00Guiding the ball in.
11:02He's a player of considerable talent.
11:07And Bruce Arena.
11:08Pick of a yellow card here.
11:13And in fact.
11:15That's what's happened.
11:17Alisa Dibe.
11:18For lingering on the field of play.
11:21Having been replaced.
11:23Is booked.
11:24Although.
11:25It will have little impact on.
11:28His involvement in the competition.
11:31Poland of course are going home.
11:33But.
11:36He will get.
11:37A brief taste of this final game.
11:40For Pajor.
11:46The closing minute.
11:48Of added time.
11:53USA.
11:57Maybe do know now.
11:58Bruce Arena.
11:59Has surely had.
12:00Confirmation of the situation.
12:03Park Ji Sung.
12:05With the goal for Korea Republic.
12:07Which has sent.
12:09USA through this evening.
12:10Despite.
12:12Defeat.
12:17And it's all over.
12:22Poland can.
12:23Leave this FIFA World Cup.
12:25With their heads held high.
12:27Beating the United States of America.
12:29By three goals to one.
12:31But.
12:31Brown.
