Big players come up big in critical moments. And it doesn't get much more critical than a penalty shootout in the semifinals of the FA Cup. Unfazed by the moment, America's shutout specialist, Tim Howard did what he does best against Premier League leaders Man United. Nil-nil after 120 minutes, Everton and United traded spot-kicks to decide who would move on to the final. In true Timmy fashion, Howard stonewalled his former club's first two shooters to pave the way for Everton's historic victory.
On May 30 the Toffees will take on Chelsea in their first FA Cup final in 14 years. And with Howard between the posts, it's easy to see why Everton fans are brimming with confidence.
