Twitter recognises the one man army that was US goalkeeper Tim Howard
Stand tall Tim Howard, stand tall.
The Round of 16 clash between Belgium and USA was expected to be a fierce one, but Belgium were still considered to be the stronger team. No one saw what happened next as Howard, who basically carried the US team, saving 16 goals in a brilliant display of football.
I mean just look at the guy go. SAVE.
Another One!
He's freaking unstoppable.
But even though Howard went home with a loss in his pocket, the Internet took notice, and so the Howard memes emerged.

Say what you want, but the US team is the best in the world at letting people shoot the ball at Tim Howard.

Tim Howard has more blocks than the Lego Movie.

Even though the US didn't win, at least the game gave Howard some serious cred in certain circles. I mean the US Secretary of Defence is a sweet gig.
