Of course I’m a Howard fan, but I too thought, most times, he makes that save, he got caught leaning the wrong way, and also I think he should have come out further to challenge the shot.
I think Howard had a good game. He did make one mistake that I saw. (If you can call leaning the wrong way a mistake).
Yes, for me, not a goal that was Howard’s “fault”, but he’s probably also saved more difficult shots in his career.
I agree 3 more steps it would not have mattered if he leaned the wrong way. But the best you can reasonably expect from any keeper is a one goal game. It's up to the team to generate enough goals for the win.
Hopefully against Portugal the midfield will get it together and keep the passing game going. If they give Portugal the shooting opportunities they gave Ghana Tim Howard is going to have his work cut out for him.
