Bring On The Americans, Slovenia Say

POLOKWANE, South Africa - Slovenia are growing in confidence at the World Cup having beaten Algeria and seen England and the United States take points off each other in the opening round of Group C matches.

Their 1-0 win over the Algerians on Sunday was their young nation's first World Cup victory. Their only previous appearance at the finals, in 2002, ended in three defeats.

"That means a lot to me and to everybody in the team," captain Robert Koren, who scored the goal, said after the match.

Jure Robic (RAAM) Passes Through Ohio

Today we are suppose to arrive to the fnish according to the original plan. Storms, wind and floods stoped us. We still have almost 500 miles to go. ur advantage on the road is around 3h 30min. To get more precise result we have to add time credit and deduct penaltie. Now that even Gulewitz got time credit for being stoped at the flood is the whole time thing even more complicated. According to my assumption, we have around 4h 30min lead and that lead is hard to overcome if we continue as usual. The race is still long and anything can happen. The winner will be known on friday morning.

That was what Lindsay Davenport said when she won the women’s draw at the U.S. Open back in 1998.

The same spirit might seem to apply to Luka Gregorc, who competed last week at the Delray Beach International Tennis Championships.
