The 'Things Tim Howard Could Save' meme was born immediately following Tim Howard’s heroic performance during the USA vs. Belgium match in the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Howard set a tournament record with 16 saves, single-handedly keeping the U.S. in the game despite a barrage of shots. The internet responded by photoshopping Howard into various scenarios where his shot-stopping abilities could prevent historical tragedies, movie deaths, and pop culture blunders. From saving the dinosaurs to catching the falling Mufasa in The Lion King, the meme highlights Howard’s god-like reflexes through a lens of absurd humor, cementing his status as an American sporting icon and a symbol of ultimate reliability.
