LA Galaxy 5-1 over FC Dallas recap
Over the past weekend, the Los Angeles Galaxy trounced FC Dallas 5-1 with Edson Buddle getting a hat trick in the win. Surprisingly, neither David Beckham nor Landon Donovan played a vital part in the victory – though each did earn an assist in the victory.
The important thing to note here is that the Galaxy players not named David or Landon are stepping it up big time. Coach Ruud Gullit has the team playing very well and despite defensive woes the team is still quite a force. They were able to move the ball well and consistently were getting into dangerous positions. For lack of a better phrase, LA put on a show in Dallas, and if they continue to play at that high a level then expect to see a lot of high scoring and a very very difficult team to stop. I also see the defense getting better if the level of play stays high, don’t get me wrong, it will still be bad, but I think it will get better.
On a side note from this game, FC Dallas head coach Steve Morrow was fired as a result. I feel bad for the guy, he’s a good coach, but his tactics and decision just weren’t clicking. I expect to see him back in the head coaches position soon, and let’s hope Dallas can bring in the right guy to turn this team around.
This will be my only post about last week’s MLS games as I continue to get caught up on all things soccer!
