'''Edson Michael Buddle''' (born May 21, 1981) is an American former professional [[association football|soccer player]] who is currently the head coach of [[USL League Two]] side [[Westchester Flames]]. He is one of only 13 players to have scored 100 goals in [[Major League Soccer]] history.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/video-kei-kamara-scores-100th-mls-goal-on-300th-appearance/163sg4xs74osw13udmkx4j4dgw| title = VIDEO: Kei Kamara scores 100th MLS goal on 300th appearance {{!}} Goal.com}} </ref>

A [[Forward (association football)|forward]], Buddle began his career in North America in 2000 with the [[Long Island Rough Riders]], who played in the [[A-League (1995–2004)|A-League]] at that time. He then spent 2001 to 2010 in Major League Soccer, playing for the [[Columbus Crew SC|Columbus Crew]], [[New York Red Bulls]], [[Toronto FC]], and [[LA Galaxy]]. After a one-year stint with [[FC Ingolstadt 04]] in Germany's [[2. Bundesliga]] he returned to Los Angeles. Buddle has also played for the [[United States men's national soccer team|United States national team]], including two appearances at the [[2010 FIFA World Cup]].

==Club career==

===College and Minor-League Career===
Born in [[New Rochelle, New York]], Buddle played one year of [[College soccer in the United States|college soccer]] at [[State Fair Community College]], leading them to the 1999 NJCAA Division I National Championship. Buddle began his professional career in 2000, when he signed with Long Island Rough Riders of the A-League. Buddle helped the team win the Northeast Division, scoring eleven goals and four assists, and was a finalist for the A-League Rookie of the Year Award.

===Columbus Crew===
His performance in the A-League attracted the interest of MLS, and Edson was selected twenty-seventh overall in the [[2001 MLS SuperDraft]] by [[Columbus Crew SC|Columbus Crew]]. Buddle played only 556 minutes in his first year, but scored three goals and two assists. The next year, at the age of twenty-one, he scored nine goals and five assists in only 1304 minutes while helping the Crew to a [[U.S. Open Cup]] win. Plagued by injuries, he only started sixteen games the next year, but scored nine goals and four assists. The pattern repeated itself in 2004, as Buddle missed significant time to injury, but still scored eleven goals and two assists in twenty starts. His 2005 totals were nine goals and two assists.<ref>{{cite news |publisher=Deseret News (Salt Lake City) |date=August 16, 2005 |title=Around the Globe |access-date=February 3, 2012 |url=http://www.deseretnews.com/article/600156237/Around-the-globe.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140316051445/http://www.deseretnews.com/article/600156237/Around-the-globe.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=March 16, 2014}}</ref>

===New York Red Bulls===
Before the 2006 season Buddle was traded to [[New York Red Bulls]] for [[Eddie Gaven]] and [[Chris Leitch]].<ref>{{cite news | title=Metro finally trades Eddie Gaven for Edson Buddle |publisher=metrofanatic.com |date=March 28, 2006 |url=http://metrofanatic.com/story.jsp?ID=3361 |access-date=February 2, 2012}}</ref> He had a disappointing year in his tenure with the team only scoring six goals because he was battling a foot injury. On November 22, 2006, Buddle was traded to [[Toronto FC]] for [[Tim Regan]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=393422&cc=5901 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120713175759/http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=393422&cc=5901 |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 13, 2012 |title=Red Bull New York acquires Regan for Buddle |publisher=ESPN FC |date=November 22, 2006 |access-date=March 16, 2013}}</ref> He failed to score in 10 appearances for the Reds but assisted on the club's first ever goal, setting up [[Danny Dichio]] to score against [[Chicago Fire Soccer Club|Chicago Fire]] in front of the south stand at [[BMO Field]].

===Los Angeles Galaxy===
On June 13, 2007, Buddle was traded to [[LA Galaxy]] for [[Tyrone Marshall]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.cbc.ca/sports/soccer/toronto-fc-get-tyrone-marshall-from-galaxy-1.670349 |title=Toronto FC get Tyrone Marshall from Galaxy |publisher=cbc.ca |date=June 13, 2007 |access-date=March 16, 2013}}</ref> He scored his first goal for the Galaxy against [[Real Salt Lake]].

Buddle was not expected to be a starting striker as the 2008 MLS season began, as the Galaxy already had three attacking forwards in [[Carlos Ruiz (Guatemalan footballer)|Carlos Ruiz]], [[Landon Donovan]] and Alan Gordon. In spite of this, Buddle became a prominent striker on the LA offense in 2008, filling in for the injured Guatemalan striker Ruiz or when Donovan and Ruiz were absent while on international duty.

He scored two hat tricks during his first season in Los Angeles: one in Week 8 against [[FC Dallas]] and one in Week 12 against [[San Jose Earthquakes]],<ref>{{cite news|last=Ratajczak |first=Pete |title=Buddle hat trick lifts LA past Quakes |publisher=mlsnet.com |date=June 15, 2008 |url=http://web.mlsnet.com/news/mls_news.jsp?ymd=20080615&content_id=165774&vkey=news_mls&fext=.jsp |access-date=June 23, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080618132625/http://web.mlsnet.com/news/mls_news.jsp?ymd=20080615&content_id=165774&vkey=news_mls&fext=.jsp |archive-date=June 18, 2008 |url-status=dead |df=mdy }}</ref> winning the MLS Player of the Week in both weeks.<ref>{{cite news|publisher=Major League Soccer Communications |title=Buddle named MLS Player of the Week |date=June 16, 2008 |url=http://web.mlsnet.com/news/mls_news.jsp?ymd=20080616&content_id=166126&vkey=pr_mls&fext=.jsp |access-date=June 23, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080620133722/http://web.mlsnet.com/news/mls_news.jsp?ymd=20080616&content_id=166126&vkey=pr_mls&fext=.jsp |archive-date=June 20, 2008 |url-status=dead |df=mdy }}</ref> After his second hat trick, teammate [[David Beckham]] commented, "Edson is an individual who is getting better at the game.

They don't take away each other's space, making it better for each other."<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBWr6e4Cfwk | title = MLSnet.com Extratime: Episode 59 | work = youtube.com | access-date = July 23, 2011 | date = June 25, 2008}}</ref>

After scoring just five goals in the 2009 season, Buddle opened the 2010 season on fire, scoring seven goals in the first four matches of the year. By mid-May, he had scored nine times, earning a surprising call-up to the national team roster for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. He continued his strong form after returning from the World Cup, continuing to lead the league in scoring when the [[2010 MLS All-Star Game]] rosters were announced despite having missed several matches on international duty. On October 24, 2010, Los Angeles Galaxy won the [[Western Conference (MLS)#Western Conference regular season champions by year|Western Conference]] and the [[MLS Supporter's Shield|Supporter's Shield]], with Buddle winning the Galaxy's MVP, golden boot, and Humanitarian of the Year.<ref>{{cite news |title = LA Galaxy name 2010 team award winners |publisher = lagalaxy.com |url = http://www.lagalaxy.com/news/2010/10/la-galaxy-name-2010-team-award-winners |access-date = October 25, 2010 |date = October 24, 2010 |archive-date = October 28, 2010 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20101028040545/http://www.lagalaxy.com/news/2010/10/la-galaxy-name-2010-team-award-winners |url-status = dead }}</ref>

Buddle signed with 2.

===Return to Los Angeles Galaxy and Colorado Rapids===
Despite trialing with [[Everton F.C.|Everton]]<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/everton-take-striker-edson-buddle-on-trial-6290443.html | location=London | work=The Independent | date=January 16, 2012 | title=Everton take striker Edson Buddle on trial}}</ref> the day after being released by Ingolstadt, Buddle re-signed with Los Angeles Galaxy.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.lagalaxy.com/news/2012/02/la-galaxy-sign-forward-edson-buddle | title = LA Galaxy Sign Forward Edson Buddle | publisher = lagalaxy.com | date = February 1, 2012 | access-date = February 14, 2012 | archive-date = May 25, 2015 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150525074729/http://www.lagalaxy.com/news/2012/02/la-galaxy-sign-forward-edson-buddle | url-status = dead }}</ref> His second stint with the club proved disappointing and short-lived. Buddle started only 10 league games in 2012 and scored only 3 goals, his lowest season tally in MLS since his rookie year of 2001.

On December 14, 2012, [[Colorado Rapids]] acquired Buddle from Los Angeles in exchange for allocation money and a first-round pick in the [[2013 MLS Supplemental Draft]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.lagalaxy.com/news/2012/12/edson-buddle-traded-colorado-rapids |title=Edson Buddle traded to Colorado Rapids |publisher=LA Galaxy |date=December 14, 2012 |access-date=March 16, 2013 |archive-date=June 29, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130629012147/http://www.lagalaxy.com/news/2012/12/edson-buddle-traded-colorado-rapids |url-status=dead }}</ref> On August 21, 2014, Buddle became only the eighth player to score 100 goals in MLS by heading in [[Dillon Powers]]' corner kick, albeit in a 3–4 home defeat to the Galaxy.<ref>{{cite news|title=Edson Buddle becomes eighth player in Major League Soccer history with 100 goals|url=http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2014/08/21/edson-buddle-becomes-eighth-player-major-league-soccer-history-100-goals|access-date=July 29, 2015|publisher=Major League Soccer|date=August 21, 2014|archive-date=December 25, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141225142648/http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2014/08/21/edson-buddle-becomes-eighth-player-major-league-soccer-history-100-goals|url-status=dead}}</ref>

==International career==
Although he may have been a promising player for the United States national team, Buddle's injuries have made it difficult for him to break into the squad. He figured for the under-20 and under-23 teams, playing in the 2001 [[FIFA U-20 World Cup|World Youth Championship]] with the former. Buddle earned his first senior team cap on March 29, 2003, in a friendly against [[Venezuela national football team|Venezuela]] but would not see the field for the United States again for seven years. On May 11, 2010, he was named to the preliminary [[2010 FIFA World Cup squads#United States|squad]] for the [[2010 FIFA World Cup]], and on May 25, started in a 4–2 friendly loss to the [[Czech Republic national football team|Czech Republic]]. The following day, Buddle was named to the final squad. Buddle contributed two first-half goals in a friendly match versus Australia on June 5. In the 2010 FIFA World Cup he appeared as a substitute in matches against [[England national football team|England]] and [[Algeria national football team|Algeria]].
