Tim Howard : United States Have Passionate Soccer Fans!

Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard has hailed the support of the US soccer fans.

The USA play their final World Cup tune-up match today against Australia.

Asked about the support Team USA have received, Howard beamed: “Our last game in Philadelphia against Turkey, and in Hartford against the Czech Republic, they were sold out and amazingly passionate. I think unfortunately the problem we run into is we’re way outnumbered, qualifying games at home feel like road games.

“So that tells us that the fans are out there, that they are passionate about soccer and ultimately we’d like to have that backing every single game, not just before the World Cup. We have some great loyal fans, and they travel all over to see us, so the more the merrier.”
