Last night Belgium emerged victorious by 2-1 after an eventful match against USA.But surely the show was stolen by Tim Howard,the Wall standing infront of the USA goal post.
The goalkeeper saved 16 goal attempts and stood as an impenetrable defense for USA,although that wasn't enough and finally conceded 2 goals in extra time.
Even though the USA lost the game,but it must have been the best game for Tim ever.The American goalkeeper had saves of every kind. He flashed a leg out several times to knock shots away. He dived to his right or his left to snare hard-hit balls. He reflexively punched close-in shots away. He tipped the ball over the crossbar on a couple of occasions.
The 35-year-old, who plays at Everton in the English Premier League, kept the score from being 4-1 or worse with 16 saves, many of those stops during extraordinarily tense moments in the U.S. penalty area.
That's the most saves in any World Cup game since they began keeping such records in 1966.
