Edson Buddle, Superstar

By: Dave Martinez | July 17th, 2008

Edson Buddle. What does that name mean to Metro fans? For starters – an awkward, enigmatic, inconsistent, full of potential but far from reaching it kind of a player.

Today, he is tied with Landon Donovan for the league lead in goals (11) and is being touted by anyone in hearing distance for the USMNT.

And to the shock of Metro fans everywhere – “Hat trick Buddle” has his own T-shirt.

Who saw this coming?

*Thanks to the LA Galaxy Riot Squad boards for this gem*

  Richard – it took two world class players in Donovan and Beckham and a world class coach in Gullit to get this guy to his potential – believe me, this is NOT the Buddle ANY previous team has seen, but he is the one they all hoped for.

  Huh? Is this just getting us psyched for the LA game or has he been rumored to NY?

  Note also that three of Donovan’s 11 goals have come from penalty kicks, while none of Buddle’s have.

  ahh, the cure of the NY franchises. Mediocre players who leave and become studs or studs who come to town and become mediocre players.

  That t-shirt is lamer than that stupid “Got Vagenas?” one. I would laugh if I saw some fool wearing that in in public.
