Howard was briefly listed as the U.S. secretary of defense on Wikipedia after his historic performance against Belgium in the U.S.'s round-of-16 defeat. Howard made 16 saves during the game yesterday, the most of any goalkeeper in any World Cup match on record.

Despite Howard's stellar performance, the U.S. lost the game 2-1.
