Hi everyone,

It was great to come back from Dallas with our first away win of the season under our belts. It’s always a good feeling to win any game, but to win 5-1 away was brilliant for the team and for our confidence, especially after losing at home in our last game. We’d worked really hard all week in preparation for the match, so to see the hard work pay off was good to see. I was really happy for Edson Buddle to get his hat trick. It’s always special when any player scores three goals in a game, so congratulations to him. Regarding the tackle in the second half, obviously I wasn’t happy with it, and it could have been a lot more serious than it was, but that’s football. It was just two players competing for the ball in the heat of the game. These things happen, but you get up and get on with the game.

We’ve got the Kansas City Wizards in our next game at home on Saturday and then I’ll be flying to the UK to join up with the England squad for the friendly matches against the US and Trinidad & Tobago. Even though they are only friendly games, every game for England is important for building team spirit and gives players a chance to impress the manager and coaching staff. I’m really looking forward to the game against the US and the chance to play against one or two of my Galaxy teammates if the manager picks me.

That’s all for now

Speak to you soon,

David
