It wasn’t long ago when everyone was wondering where all the USA goal keepers went. For decades we had a parade of great keepers from Keller to Friedel to Howard. Even guys behind them like Hahnemann were great keepers with good European careers that barely got a chance to play. Then following Couva, when it was shown that Howard was past it (and he would retire soon after), there wasn’t much. Guzan seemed the next big time goal keeper, but his career in England stalled and he had moved back to MLS. Tim Melia, Steffen Frei, Louis Robles, Bill Hamid, Sean Johnson, and others had not ever taken the next step up in level.
USA goal keepers: Turner or Steffen or Horvath?
