It is ingrained in the head of USA goalie Tim Howard to always block everything and that mindset continues even after he’s off the pitch. After his sensational 16-save performance in the United State’s World Cup loss to Belgium he returned back to the U.S. to a hero’s welcome. He was greeted by the press and eager fans at LAX airport. One overzealous soccer fan approached Howard to congratulate him and give him a big hug. And just like it was a shot from an opposing striker, the hug was blocked by the USMNT goalie in exceptional fashion. Do you really think that Howard wants your nervous, stinky pits rubbing against his all-world goalie body? C’mon bro, act like you’ve met a sports star before and don’t embarrass yourself.
