how many goalie save do usa average in world cup

For the U.S. men’s team, the most commonly cited World Cup benchmark is Tim Howard’s 16-save match against Belgium in 2014, which FIFA credited as a record at the time. If you mean the average saves per World Cup match for the USA, the available sources here do not provide a full tournament-by- tournament total needed to calculate it reliably.

What we can say

  • The U.S. has had at least one standout World Cup goalkeeper performance: Howard’s 16 saves vs. Belgium in 2014.
  • A current World Cup team-stats page shows goalkeeper saves leaders, but no U.S. average is displayed in the excerpt available here.
  • A separate stats page indicates goalkeeper saves per game and per 90 exist for U.S. keepers, but the snippet doesn’t include the actual average value.

Practical answer

If you want the clearest single number, the safest answer is: there isn’t one simple published “USA average goalie saves in the World Cup” figure in the sources available here. The closest notable reference is Howard’s 16 saves in one match , not a team average.

TL;DR

  • Single-match record-like figure: 16 saves by Tim Howard vs. Belgium in 2014.
  • True average: not confirmed from the available sources here.
