The World Cup has seen its fair share of drama, but one story that has caught attention is the wife of a goalkeeper defending her husband against criticism from a USMNT legend. Zorana Room, the wife of Curacao goalkeeper Eloy Room, took to social media to respond to comments made by former USMNT goalkeeper Tim Howard.
Background
Tim Howard had claimed that Curacao would get “smoked” in the expanded 2026 World Cup, giving up more than 20 goals. However, after losing their opening game 7-1, Eloy Room stepped up and didn’t allow a single goal against Ecuador, making over a dozen saves.
Zorana Room responded to an article claiming she hated Howard by saying, “Not a single lie in this article.” She then added, “Also with all due respect to Mr. Howard, I will defend my husband, his team, and their right to be there with my life. Because they deserved it, unlike him in 2018. And they lost from a small Caribbean island. So no, he can’t say anything about Curacao.”
