The collision between goalie Tim Howard and England’s Emile Heskey was a violent one. Howard described it as “agony”. Coach Bob Bradley isn’t sure whether or not the ribs are broken. Howard did finish the match, and was named “Man of the Match”.

Howard plans on playing against Slovenia on Friday. He’s described the past 24 hours as just being really sore. Howard has waited for this moment for 4 years, broken or not I expect him to be out there. He is the heart and soul of the United States team. The match vs. Slovenia is absolutely vital for the US, and the US needs Tim Howard in goal.
