Serbia caused the third upset of the 2010 FIFA World Cup Soccer last night when they brought a 10 man Germany crashing back down to earth with a narrow 1-nil win in Port Elizabeth that blows qualifications from Group D wide open.

An opening game rout of Australia had German fans and critics predicting a run deep into the World Cup tournament, with national newspaper declaring: "We're going to blow you all away".

Germany was forced to play more than half an hour a man down, and failed to rally sufficiently to force an equalizer against the Serbia side.

Serbia took the lead in the 35th minute volley, but in truth the result was as much down to the Germans' poor finishing.

The loss means Germany, Serbia and Ghana all stand on three points ahead of the Africans' second group match against the Aussies on Sunday.

In other results,  Michael Bradley struck a dramatic late equalizer as the United States came from two goals down to draw with Slovenia in a pulsating Group C encounter in Johannesburg.

US coach Bob Bradley made a double change at the interval and the move paid immediate dividends, Landon Donovon racing clear on the right and firing high into the roof of the net.

Slovenia were now firmly on the back foot and the US pressure finally told as Michael Bradley, the son of coach Bob Bradley equalized in the 82nd minute.
 
Game currently in progress, England and Algeria are locked at nil all.
