What a signing! DailyMail.com hires USA, Manchester United and Everton legend Tim Howard as its new sports columnist: ‘There is so much to be excited about’

American soccer legend Tim Howard has made a sensational transfer—to become the brilliant new sports columnist of DailyMail.com.

Howard is an all-time US soccer great with a record 121 caps — the most of any goalkeeper in national team history.

He’s also instantly recognizable to millions as a superstar TV analyst for NBC, bringing his sparkling insights into the game with a unique and engaging style.

Now, he brings that experience exclusively to DailyMail.com—and at the perfect time, with three major soccer events on U.S. soil in the coming years: Copa America in 2024, the Club World Cup in 2025, and the hugely-anticipated World Cup in 2026.
