On Friday we saw photos of LA Galaxy captain Landon Donovan doing a bit of warming up at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA as he prepped for his first Galaxy soccer game since returning home to the US from the World Cup in South Africa. The Galaxy took on the Seattle Sounders in Carson last night in a battle for 4th of July supremacy and managed to soundly defeat the Sounders by a score of 3 – 1. Here are a few photos of Landon Donovan doing his thing on the soccer field last night and some deets about the game:
Los Angeles Galaxy moved nine points clear at the top of Major League Soccer’s Western Conference on Sunday night courtesy of a 3-1 home win over Seattle Sounders. Edson Buddle opened the scoring for the Galaxy after 18 minutes and Juninho doubled their advantage three minutes after the interval. Steve Zakuani halved the deficit for the visitors midway through the second period but a James Riley own goal 13 minutes from time restored the two-goal cushion. Buddle and Landon Donovan were playing for the first time since returning from World Cup duty. The result marked Los Angeles’ 11th win in 15 games and left the Sounders second from bottom in the Western Conference.
You know, I bet Landon is really happy that David Beckham — his LA Galaxy teammate — is off enjoying some vacation time with his family in Europe these days because with Becks out of the picture, he is the big soccer cheese here in LA. Actually, I’d go so far as to say that Landon Donovan is currently the most famous soccer player in the whole US. I’m glad his performance at the World Cup has elevated his status a bit, hopefully he can use the momentum to keep bringing wins for the LA Galaxy. Landon has languished in Becks‘s shadow for a long time … hopefully this will be his time to shine.
