Team USA goaltender Tim Howard made a record 16 saves at the World Cup game between the US and Belgium, but couldn’t save the American team from being knocked out in the 2-1 Belgian win.
Did you know:
- Tim Howard is HUNGARIAN! Tim was born in New Jersey to an African-American father and a native Hungarian mother named Fekete Eszter! He is a dual citizen of USA and Hungary, but unfortunately, aside from a few words, he doesn’t speak Hungarian. Szeretünk téged, Tim! Hajrá magyarok!
- Tim Howard is a CHRISTIAN. Tim has spoken about his Christian faith, saying: “The most important thing in my life is Christ. He’s more important to me than winning or losing or whether I’m playing or not. Everything else is just a bonus.”
- Tim Howard has Tourette Syndrome, an Autism Spectrum Disorder.
- Tim is 35 years old and has been on the US national team since 2002. I don’t know if this was his last world cup, but after this performance today, he seems like he is at the top of his game!
Theology for the People 
So you discredit that he has a father that is not Hungarian? He is also African American. Give the black man some mad props too. 🙂
Okay. One more reason to love Tim Howard: He is African-American. And he speaks English really well.
ahahahahahaha! Thank you for not kicking the brothers down.
and i bet he curses well too. 🙂
Oh, because’s he’s Hungarian? **racist!**
ahahaha, no because he has Tourette Syndrome.
Oh, yeah… I guess I played the race card too soon 🙂
just a bit too soon. 🙂 i knew someone with it and she cursed a lot, but i do not think all Tourette Syndrome suffers curse. One time she started yelling on the plane, ” The $#*%@^#$ plane is on fire.
