The Year's Top Meme Is Both Hilarious and Sad

Google has released its top search terms of 2014, and guess what the No. 1 trending meme was? Tim Howard. The goalie for the US soccer team during the World Cup killed it at July 1's USA vs. Belgium game with a personal record of 16 saves. The US lost, sadly, but that was the most saves by any keeper during the World Cup. (It's not the first time he's pulled off a crazy soccer feat either.)

Ahead, check out the best Tim Howard memes and tweets from the Summer that pretty much proved he could run for president in 2016 and plenty of people would vote for him.

Block my tears, Tim Howard.

Tim Howard is so good at stopping people from scoring that none of his friends ever want to go out with him.
