Robbie Keane

Is Martins more valuable only if such an evaluation is made relative to the ability of his team-mates? The Seattle Sounders appear to rely more on Martins than Galaxy rely on Robbie. Martins seems to have been more clinical in exploiting his opportunities but being "more valuable to his team" doesn't necessarily make one player better than another.

His wife must be a terrible woman.

Terrible article. It was like they were trying to find ways to make Martins seem more important than Keane. No wonder TOWK liked it.

Reminded me of this. Can't believe Ancelotti still hasn't got rid of that liability!

A win ratio of 78 per cent goes up to 80 per cent, while the number of goals scored also goes up slightly, from 2.7 goals per game to 2.8 goals per game.

And they call me paranoid. The article doesn't criticise Keane in any way.

Klinsmann's glowing praise for Robbie

**TheOneWhoKnocks** · 04/11/2014, 3:29 PM

DeLorean has evened the score.

**paul_oshea** · 04/11/2014, 4:48 PM

He never praised the player. The person yes.

**geysir** · 04/11/2014, 10:01 PM

Unless you believe Robbie has little of interest to give as a player, then you can claim Klinsmann doesn't praise the player.

"With Robbie you have a player that always gives you everything."

**Charlie Darwin** · 04/11/2014, 10:25 PM

Since when has a player's personality not been part of his game? Or have I been misinterpreting all this time when Balotelli's been criticised for being a lazy ****er?

El capitano starts tonight in the playoff.

I know stutts has played in goal(could be wrong) but what position did the rest of ye play?

Personally I've played every position, but when I played center back, id much prefer to play against a Shane Long than a Robbie Keane. Robbie stretches your your synapses rather than your hamstrings. Robbie can make a 5 yard dart off your shoulder that is far harder to defend than a lung busting 20 yard dash into the corner.

**tetsujin1979** · 09/11/2014, 11:51 PM

scored the second, Landon Donovan with the first. Touch of offside about it, but I think it was ok.
LA Galaxy currently leading 2-0

Goal and and 2 assists now. G'lad

**Littlest Hobo** · 10/11/2014, 4:59 AM

keane is clearly enjoying his football in la la land and is up to 20 for the season and having laid on twice as many. has a knack of making ordinary defences look very brutal, so I can see him keeping the 'championship' lads busy on Friday night.

Agreed. Btw I have also played centre back and centre forward.

Robbie's goal against Real Salt Lake:

**DannyInvincible** · 10/11/2014, 9:32 AM

Nice pass here to assist Donovan:

**Stuttgart88** · 10/11/2014, 11:52 AM

Pretty tidy finish by Donovan too. Keane's earlier chipped assist was good too.

A Robbie Keane inspired LA Galaxy are through to the MLS final V NE Revolution. They beat Seattle last night, on away goals, great atmosphere and a huge crowd, 45k or thereabouts. Though, had Martins not missed an absolute sitter for Seattle, it might well have been a different story for Galaxy.
