Tim Howard Saves The Day Even In World Cup Defeat For USMNT

16 saves, I repeat 16 saves by Tim Howard in the Knockout Round for United States soccer vs. Belgium. Unfortunately at age 36 this could be the final World Cup appearance for Howard. Nevertheless if that was it, Tim Howard saved his best for last literally. He didn't deserve to lose. He bailed out this defense all match long time and time again as Belgium applied constant pressure. Howard probably was the best USMNT player in Brazil during the 2014 World Cup. Belgium went on to advance to the quarterfinals, nevertheless they had to earn it was a pair of extra time goals. The US nearly tied it up after cutting into the lead. However it wasn't mean to be. Howard made history the most saves by a goal keeper in the World Cup in nearly 50 years !
