Internet Score

Team USA is tearing it up on the soccer pitch and fans everywhere are digging the action online.

Landon Donovan's heroic game and group winning goal in the 91st minute against Algeria caused such a stir, that it set a new Internet traffic record!

More than 11.2 million people per minute flooded onto the Internet following Donovan's historic finish. The increase in traffic is considered the second highest spike in usage of all-time - eclipsing Barack Obama's 2008 Presidential election victory by more than 2.5 million visitors.
