NIGEL MARTYN: David Moyes will hope USA give Tim Howard a World Cup breather
Tim Howard 300[LNB]I SUSPECT David Moyes' transatlantic hotline will have been buzzing as soon as news reached these shores that USA had qualified for next summer's World Cup finals.[LNB]Of course the Blues boss will have been sending his congratulations to goalkeeper Tim Howard for reaching the pinnacle of every player's career.[LNB]But with Thursday morning's final USA qualifier against Costa Rica now effectively a dead rubber - at least as far as the Americans are concerned - he will be making the polite suggestion that perhaps Tim could sit out this final match and maybe even return to England early.[LNB]If Tim does play the final game of USA's qualification campaign it gives him a very difficult preparation for Saturday's visit of Wolves.[LNB]Physically it will be a breeze.[LNB]But mentally he will be tired. That's a fact.
