Private Ryan and the dinosaurs: what could Tim Howard save?

Howard set a new World Cup record after making 15 saves in the clash with Belgium – which saw the European team proceed to the quarter-finals with a 2-1 victory.

The Everton goalkeeper’s performance led to the hashtag praising his abilities – which has been trending. Channel 4 News lists 15 of our favourites (one for each save) below.
