David Moyes (Howard's manager at Everton, of course) said he thought if Howard was English, then he'd be in goal for this match and not Green. On the basis of their performances tonight, I'd say he's right.

Note that Green only had a single save to make, though.

Yeah, our goalie definitely looked pretty kickass in comparison, especially after taking that hit.

Oh no, I don't mean either of the teams did really bad, the game was actually really good.

I was just annoyed that it ended in a tie, :p
