World Cup 2010: Slovenia will play against USA on 18/06 16:00 in Johannesburg – JEP

World Cup 2010 Slovenia vs. USA is a match to see. Team Slovenia at World Cup 2010 was not easy. They reached the World Cup by an upset victory over Russia during the play-offs. It will be very difficult for them to do the same shock they did in South Africa. Slovenia was able to qualify for World Cup 2010 because they became the European play-off winners. Their Coach is Matjaž Kek. He is a Slovenian with age 48. He was appointed last January 2007. Kek managed to work his way up the Slovenian ladder by means of coaching the country’s Under-15 and Under-16 teams before stepping up to the senior side. The play-offs only shock came in the game of Slovenia with Kek acknowledged that his country had materialized a dream by beating Russia for a place at the World Cup finals after Novakovic’s five goals sealed them for second place in their group.

Zlatko Dedic scored the only goal of the game that put Slovenia through all the away with the expense of Guus Hiddink’s side, who has sent two men off in a bad-tempered and emotional match. But Kek has no doubt in his mind that his side executes better on the night and they deserved to go through. He said that it was a significant match for them. And he wanted to thank every one of his players. The entire country was them and all of them could feel their support. They deserved the victory. It is a great honor to be part of the best teams in the world. Slovenia has made a dream come true.

It is really a dream since when one think that they played their first match only in 1992 after the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia made a split in 1991. Before it happened, players of Slovenia played for the Yugoslavia national football team. Slovenia also surprised the nation when they qualified for the Euro 2000, when they won against Ukraine in a playoff. They were able to turn some heads during the match, played a draw against Yugoslavia and Norway, and lost only to Spain 2–1. Two years later Slovenia achieved another major success, qualifying for the 2002 World Cup, this time they were able to defeat Romania in a playoff. They had six wins and six draws in the qualifying round. But, they did not make good in the finals, going home without a score. Despite not being able to qualify for the 2006 World Cup, they managed to beat Italy on their way to winning the tournament with a shock 1–0 victory on their home turf. The World Cup 2010 Slovenia vs. USA match is a treat to see.
