Bob Bradley, it may be time to buy an airplane ticket out to Los Angeles. Edson Buddle scored his 5th goal in the last three matches as the Los Angeles Galaxy defeated the Houston Dynamo 2-0 at Robertson Stadium.
The Los Angeles Galaxy quickly jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the 27th minute when Edson Buddle perfectly brought down an aerial ball, after Houston defenders Eddie Robinson and Mike Chabala couldn’t decide who was going to clear the ball, took one forward touch, and then blasted a shot past Dynamo goalkeeper Pat Onstad near post.
The game was pretty physical early on in the match, but things turned ugly for Houston when Landin was shown a straight red card in the 43rd minute for taking a leg sweep at Galaxy defender Omar Gonzalez as he went into the corner to track down a ball.
The Galaxy wasted no time in punishing Houston for that mistake as in the 44th minute Sean Franklin played a nice centering pass which Edson Buddle one-timed into the left corner of the net.
With this win the LA Galaxy are now 3-0 and Edson Buddle is making a strong case to be given an opportunity to be called into the US Men's National Team camp this upcoming May. With the lack of depth at the forward spot, a hot Edson Buddle may what the National Team needs. World Cup history has shown that you need to bring in your players who are playing at their highest form.
So Bob Bradley, I'll see you at the Home Depot Center next weekend.
