Howard: Saves record 'does not matter'

USA goalkeeper Tim Howard has admitted that his World Cup record for saves in a match means little to him considering their elimination at the hands of Belgium.

The Americans saw their run at Brazil 2014 ended courtesy of an <a href="/football/belgium/world-cup/result/result-belgium-edge-past-the-usa-in-extra-time_162847.html">extra-time defeat</a> to Marc Wilmots's side on Tuesday, despite Howard making 15 saves in the game.

However, the Everton shot-stopper claims that the achievement is irrelevant because of the result, adding that the US are proud of their performance but 'fell short of their dream'.

"None of that really matters to me," . . .
