The search for the next great American goalkeeper has been a point of contention at least since Tim Howard was dropped from the Everton starting lineup in early 2016. Even before that, as Howard entered his late 30s, there had been speculation about who would replace him. Brad Guzan is the clear no. 2 keeper behind Howard for now, even starting in the team’s 1-1 draw at El Azteca in June. Though Guzan has the cache of having played in Europe for nearly a decade, he never played at as high of a level as Howard and his recent move back to Major League Soccer seems to show that from a competition standpoint, his career peaked in seasons past.
