Tim Howard: Immortalised in meme
Belgium needed extra time to defeat USA in their last 16 match on Tuesday (Jul 2), just.
USA goalkeeper Tim Howard put on an epic performance that frustrated the Belgians for majority of the match.
In fact, he made a grand total of 16 saves, going into the record books as the most number of saves ever made by a goalkeeper on record in a World Cup match.
He was rewarded with the Man of the Match award after the game but perhaps even more significant was that the Internet has decreed that his performance is meme worthy.
We dutifully present to you some of them.
