President Barack Obama watched the U.S. soccer team's game against Slovenia on Friday, the team's second appearance in the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
 
According to spokesman Robert Gibbs, Obama caught a portion of the game while aboard Air Force One bound for Ohio, where the president delivered a speech on the economic recovery.

The game ended in a tie, 2-2, and at no time during the game did the United States hold the lead. Pictured here is team USA's Michael Bradley scoring the team's second goal.
