adminTim Howard protected the USA’s goal heroically during 90 minutes of regulation time against Belgium in their World Cup last-16 tie – breaking the record for most saves in a World Cup match in the process.
Howard’s 15 stops saw him make history but he was eventually beaten twice in extra time as the Belgians progressed to the quarter-finals.
He later tweeted of his pride at representing his country at the 2014 World Cup, saying: ‘Im proud to suit up w every one of these guys. It’s a tremendous honor to represent this country & a ride I’ll never forget. Thx for joining’.
The Everton goalkeeper’s performance was so impressive that a White House petition was started to rename the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport after Howard and, if it receives 100,000 signatures, the US government must respond. — Dailymail
