i agree. Cech makes them all the time. most the shots were straight at howard

first one that was finished with conviction ended up 2-0

[time_bomb]

i personally think mbolhi against germany made better saves but im biased, of course when u have the silly yanks behind u, u can become some superhero

[Nidge Weasle]

Nah howard fucking smashed it

[Flojo]

Just me that thinks he didn't make any extraordinary saves then?

 

It doesn't matter, he's Tim Howard the American Inter Galactic Football Hero MVP which is actually better than being a World Champion. Go USA!

10 surprising facts about America's new soccer hero, Tim Howard

 

(CNN) -- The word "epic" gets thrown around a lot these days, but there's no other way to describe what we saw Tuesday.

It was an epic battle. Team USA goalie Tim Howard on one hand. The entire Belgian team on the other.

Facing the relentless onslaught of Belgium's offense, Howard made 16 saves -- setting a World Cup record.

 

The United States lost the match 2-1 and is out of the tourney, but the nation gained a soccer hero.

Here's what you need to know about the 35-year-old Howard...

 

He is one of the best goalies in the world

Don't believe us? Just ask his coaches.

His club coach has said there is no better goalkeeper in the Premier League.

"His belief and understanding of the game and his desire to achieve more is contagious," Roberto Martinez told FIFA.com.

National team coach Jurgen Klinsmann said in May that Howard is one of the top five goalies in the world.

And, if there were any doubters, he silenced them all on Tuesday.

Highest rated comment 

 

Had USA scored in the final seconds of regular time (and they nearly did) Howard's performance would surely have been rated as the best goaltending - EVER!
