Howard: Man City keeper Steffen US soccer's crown jewel | OneFootball
Manchester City goalkeeper Zak Steffen has been hailed as US soccer's 'crown jewel' by Tim Howard.
Goalkeeper is perhaps the one position that the USA have regularly excelled in, with the likes of Brad Friedel, Kasey Keller and Howard all becoming regular faces in the Premier League.

It means Steffen has high standards to live up to, but Howard has backed him to be able to do so.
"Those are big shoes to fill," he said. "There's pressure, a responsibility there. It's one that Zack can certainly handle.
"The onus is on Zack to wear that No. 1 shirt for the next decade.
"This team has every right and all of the potential to be the best USMNT in history.
"Zack? He's the crown jewel."
