Excellent work here. RT @_camwba: Someone changed the US Secretary of Defence on Wikipedia to Tim Howard. pic.twitter.com/cFpLiBfMZN Advertisement— Meredith Frost (@MeredithFrost) July 2, 2014 Howard's 16 saves were the most in a World Cup game in the last 50 years and he almost single-handedly kept the U.S. in the game. Despite his awesome effort, diligent Wikipedia editors didn't let him remain on the U.S. Secretary of Defense page for long, and the entry has been changed back to Chuck Hagel. That didn't stop Howard from getting his props elsewhere on the web: Twitter: 1,800,000 mentions of @TimHowardGK during #USAvsBEL pic.twitter.com/bS7xIh3AQS— Good Morning America (@GMA) July 1, 2014 tim howard forever pic.twitter.com/UZwc7bJ7w5— nick pants (@nick_pants) July 1, 2014 Despite the loss, Tim Howard's record setting performance was monumental. pic.twitter.com/eaqF2Whkxq Advertisement— ESPN (@espn) July 1, 2014 Tim Howard in his school yearbook.
