Neat, except that Wikipedia is calling it "vandalism."

On July 1, Howard was again awarded man of the match, despite the U.S. losing 2–1 to Belgium in the round of 16 . [27] During the match, he broke the record for most saves in a World Cup match with 16. [28] . Howard's performance resulted in vandalism to several Wikipedia articles, among other things naming him the United States Secretary of Defense (see Old revision of United States Secretary of Defense ).

Still a painful loss . . . but I thought it was great. Doesn't change the fact that it was sort of wrong (Public messing with a "public" site) and it does highlight some of the academic issues with citing from Wiki.

Still thought this was great and he played his Clutch off.
