Howard heroics not enough to earn 3rd for USA

Howard may have been a welcome sight for many US fans after Brad Guzan's blunder for Argentina's opening goal after just 3 minutes in Houston on Tuesday night that paved the way to semi-final defeat and this almost meaningless 3rd-place game instead of Sunday's Final.
“He has been outstanding to help the team go all the way through in this tournament, helping Brad Guzan wherever he could, keeping the spirit very positive and pushing from behind,” Coach Jurgen Klinsmann said at a Friday news conference.
Howard took his chance to shine making some impressive saves that prompted some recycling of the social media memes that grew up out of his exploits at the 2014 World Cup.
However, Carlos Bacca beat him late in the second half to secure third place for Colombia and ensure that the US had to settle for fourth.

Tim always had Everton in his heart and seemed a very likeable, genuine lad!

Tim was a good, sometimes very good, sometimes not so good, goalkeeper who provided us with much needed stability and quality in that position for a decade. I'm happy enough to celebrate that as an overall plus for the club.
