A three goal first half by the Chicago Fire sparked the visiting team to a 3-2 victory over the struggling LA Galaxy on Sunday night. It was the highest number of goals the Fire have scored all season. Recent designated player signing Freddie Ljungberg replaced Marco Pappa in the 57th minute, but didn’t make much [...]

The Puerto Rico Islanders put a serious dent in the LA Galaxy’s hopes for multiple trophies this season, decisively defeating the Galaxy 4-1 in the opening leg of its preliminary round matchup Tuesday night at the Home Depot Center. “We got beat soundly tonight,” Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena said.

In a game that counted little if anything in the grand scheme of things, Thierry Henry dazzled a crowd of 20,312 at Red Bull Arena on Thursday night, scoring his first goal in a Red Bulls kit. Check out the Thierry Henry photo gallery from the match! Meanwhile, on the left coast it was Algeria all over again for Landon Donovan, only this time instead of the stars and stripes, Donovan was representing the LA Galaxy, and instead of soccer’s biggest stage, it was an MLS regular season match against in-state rivals San Jose Earthquakes.

Fittingly on the Fourth of July, a sellout crowd made its way to the Home Depot Center on Sunday night to welcome back the Los Angeles Galaxy’s two World Cup players, Landon Donovan and Edson Buddle, after the two had proudly represented the United States in South Africa. The two players immediately made their presence [...]

The LA Galaxy enter the two-week World Cup break undefeated after beating the visiting Houston Dynamo 4-1. Forward Jovan Kirovski led the scoring charge with a first-half brace while forward Tristan Bowen and midfielder Alex Cazumba supplied the second half strikes. It took just 47 seconds for the Galaxy to get on the board. Ivan [...]

The LA Galaxy hoped to send Landon Donovan and Edson Buddle off to national team camp in style but Toronto FC keeper Stefan Frei had other ideas. Three thousand miles away, at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, N.J., Fred Montero single-handedly put an end to the New York Red Bulls unbeaten run at their new ground, while in Philadelphia Brek Shea’s first regular season goal held up as the game winner for 94 minutes before Danny Mwanga got his first to rescue a draw for the Union. All this and more in our Week 8 wrap-up.

In the nation’s capital, DC United lost its plot in the second half of a steamy encounter (over 90 degrees at kickoff) with the New York Red Bulls, succumbing 2-0. For New York it was the first victory at RFK Stadium in nearly five years, which was of particular satisfaction to veteran defender Mike Petke. But the most noise was made once again by Edson Buddle.

Playing Real Salt Lake for the first time since losing the MLS Cup Final in Seattle last November, Edson Buddle started things off for the Los Angeles Galaxy, and also finished it as well. Buddle’s 16th minute strike put LA on the board and his 76th minute goal ensured Los Angeles its fourth straight win to open the season, as the Galaxy made amends for its MLS Cup loss to RSL with a 2-1 win at the Home Depot Center. Buddle now has a staggering seven goals from the team’s first four games this season. At this point the call from Bob Bradley should merely be a question of when, not if.

Edson Buddle again was the difference for the LA Galaxy, as his two goals were all the Galaxy needed to draw first blood in round one of the Honda Superclasico. Buddle, who scored 15 goals in 2008 but struggled with injuries in 2009, was once again a one-man wrecking crew in LA’s second match of the season, putting the Galaxy on the board seven minutes into the match and striking again with the game winding down to seal the win.

Aiming to regain the form that saw him score a career-high 15 goals in 2008, Edson Buddle got off to a flying start in the Galaxy’s 2010 season opener against the New England Revolution Saturday night. His early form enabled the Galaxy to start off its season in fine fashion, as Buddle’s sixth minute strike proved the difference in the match.
