Tim Howard makes another great block - against enthusiastic fan

He made a record 16 saves - the most by a goalkeeper in a World Cup game since 1966.

Despite America's exit from the tournament, Howard is continuing his amazing streak.
As he landed at the Los Angeles International Airport, fans rushed to him to take selfies and ask for autographs.
