USA coach Klinsmann: Howard was just phenomenal, outstanding

USA coach Jurgen Klinsmann paid tribute to Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard after their World Cup defeat to Belgium.

Howard made 15 saves, the most by any keeper in a World Cup match since 1966 according to statistics, before two goals in extra time saw Belgium win 2-1 to secure a quarter-final place against Argentina.

Klinsmann said: "What Tim played tonight was just phenomenal, outstanding - he kept us in that game for a long time. We are proud to have him with us.

"It was an absolutely amazing match tonight and you can give him the biggest compliment in the world."
