the impact you had on the country. last night after that match i can guarantee you one thing. kids were running out into the streets all over the united states, probably around the world, playing and dreaming of being the next tim howard, and that s not easy to achieve so i hope that means something to you and you take that from the cup. it moans a lot. i cherish those moments, thank you. thank you. thank you for giving us the moments. i look forward to seeing you back in the states. maybe after the contract with everton runs out you come to the mls and you re always welcome at new day. thanks for joining us this morning and thanks for giving us a great tournament run. tim howard. man of the match last night. but more important than what happened here at the cup, been saying this from the beginning. the reason i was teasing mick about being all in for the united states, it wasn t because i m questioning her. mick is the best of all of us. yeah, you were. it was the commitme
the perfect word to describe the human wall in front of the u.s. goal. goalkeeper tim howard. he seemed super human, setting a world cup record for the most goals saved in a single game. mr. invincible. 16 saves, but even that number doesn t do the effort justice. not today. but eventually deep in extra time fate had its way. and then what seemed to be the dagger a few minutes later, the u.s. now down 2-0. but that s when the grit of the red, white and blue showed once more. substitute julian green, just 19 years old, playing in his first ever world cup, touching the ball for the first time. finds the net. it s julian green. would you believe it? re-energizing the american side to fight until the bitter end. it was a good goal, but, yeah, at the end we re out of the tournament. we have to look to the future
significance of that for the u.s., to have so much international support that the team had here. it also represents one nation, one team. because, would i, has u.s. soccer taken the u.s. by storm. you know that. you know you re into it in a way you weren t before, and it also represents the man who wears number 1, tim howard. he made history last night, and i ll tell you. the real gift of watching the game was watching him. we were right there as he really was the u.s. defense last night. and i ll tell you what, you should hang your head and should be bitter because the u.s. could have won last night. here s a recap of the match. right from the beginning of the belgium/usa match the usa chant was echo is from the stadium in brazil all the way back to a newly soccer-crazed america, and through regular time the u.s. gave the heavily favored belgians all they could handle. tie game. a lot of time on the u.s. end. they held strong, strong. strong.
the president, look we have video of the president stopping by a party at the white house. as margaret noted a little nervous when he came in that the other guys would score, but this tells you everybody, i was watching in my office trying to do a little bit of work. everybody. everybody watched the game. too bad they came up a little short. there s nothing partisan about that. no. everybody took a break at 4:00 yesterday. i ran to the tv because i was nine minutes late. and then i didn t get up, john, until 6:30 or something when it was over? i mean, my god, i was glued to the tv. well done, team usa. thanks jorks john, thanks olivier, thanks for joining us on new day. some restaurants have cut the salt but which ones are the worst offenders? nutritional information for all of us. let s get back to brazil and chris. one of the reasons i have a 1 on my chest is that u.s. soccer
