johnh Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Yes, I think Tim Howard is good but not as good as Ted Sagar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 He does lots of work in this area. If his high profile can help people cope with what must be a really tough thing to live with then it's more than commendable. All round good guy.

verreauxi Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Gotta love his devotion. On another note, for all the times I've watched Howard play I never noticed his tics due to Tourettes.

evilweevil666 Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 I believe it's a combination of experience with the condition and medication. He's also talked in the past about how playing actually lessens the effects. I know for many with tourettes pure concentration on a task can minimize the tics. I wouldn't be surprised if it's more noticeable off the field, although he has obviously learned to manage it well in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oztoffee Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Timmy's deal with nbc can only increase EFC's profile in the USofA. Can't really understand though why we're not touring USA this off-season, at least half of the EPL are over there in one tournament or another. Maybe we weren't invited because we had the temerity to try to win in the last tournament over there and had to be bundled out by refereeing cock-ups and/or deliberate mistakes.

thoward18 Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Timmy's deal with nbc can only increase EFC's profile in the USofA. Can't really understand though why we're not touring USA this off-season, at least half of the EPL are over there in one tournament or another. Maybe we weren't invited because we had the temerity to try to win in the last tournament over there and had to be bundled out by refereeing cock-ups and/or deliberate mistakes. I think that, in general, Everton does a poor job of marketing itself in the US. That being said, I think their lack of presence for this summer is largely just bad luck. Having Tim Howard touring around the US would be fantastic coming off the World Cup, but how many people predicted that he and the US would have the kind of impact that they did? Hell, there weren't many people outside the US that believed they'd even finish 3rd, above Ghana. And if they didn't make it out of the group and then put up a ballsy effort against Belgium then I'm not sure touring here would be as brilliant a move as it looks now. I think Everton were in the wrong place at the wrong time. With the perspective of hindsight, they should have toured Asia last year and the US this year instead of the other way around. I think we also have to be careful though with blindly bandwagoning the US. As great as Man U and Arsenal have been drawing here, a Fulham game in Florida - a growing soccer hotbed here in the US - drew MAYBE three-thousand people. It was a disaster. Everton are a bigger appeal than Fulham, but they're not Man U, either. Coming to the US is great but only in the right spots and with the right teams. I think an Everton-RBNY match would be brilliant for next season (though I'm obviously biased). You get the New York area, for starters, but then you have local boy Tim Howard facing the team he started with and Cahill facing Everton. But throwing Everton in the US just to say they're in the US would be the equivalent of the NFL sending a team to play a pre-season game in Norwich, only if Norwich was 5-6 hours away from London instead of 2-3.

Matt Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Tim Howard As you may have heard, I have decided to take some time off from the U.S. Men’s National Team in order to spend more time with my family. Having played overseas for the last 12 years, making this commitment to my family is very important. I am grateful for the understanding of Jurgen Klinsmann who is affording me the opportunity to spend some much needed time with my kids and to have the opportunity to compete for a spot upon my return. I understand that I will have to earn my place with the team and in the lineup when I come back, and I look forward to doing that. Physically I feel as strong as ever, and right now my heart, mind, and body all feel good about continuing on with the national team for the next World Cup. It is difficult to predict the situation in four years but I know this decision is right for me today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 There's little point in playing this year for them anyway, it's mostly friendlies and the Americans don't value the CONCACAF Gold Cup as much as they normally would because they've already qualified for a Confederations Cup playoff.
