Howard's 15 stops saw him make history but he was eventually beaten twice in extra time as the Belgians progressed to the quarter-finals.
He later tweeted of his pride at representing his country at the 2014 World Cup, saying: 'Im proud to suit up w every one of these guys. It's a tremendous honor to represent this country & a ride I'll never forget. Thx for joining'.
