Place Kick w/ Edson Buddle


Hey Futbolrs, as you know we are always keeping you in the mix w/ the lifestyle of your favorite sport. Here's a new section that will keep you close to the travelling pros. We call it Place Kick, a quick Q & A with focus on what the players are up to.

First up we have Edson Buddle of FC Ingolstadt of Bundesliga 2. Currently, with their eyes on a title season, Die Schanzer are in pre-season training across the border to the east. Here's former LA Galaxy striker taking a Place Kick for Futbolr.

Edson Buddle: We arrived in Achenkirch, Austria on Mon Jun. 27th. We are here for 7 days.

Ftblr: Any injuries?

Ftblr: How you feeling?

Ftblr: In shape or not?
EB: I'm getting there. Its hard to tell w/ 3-a-days lol

Ftblr: Any games played as yet?
EB: We played a few games Back in Germany. Were on our way to play a game now vs. Dinamo Bucharest, Romania. Then 1 more game Saturday vs FC Zestafoni from Georgia.

Ftblr: What's been your best or common past time off the field while in Austria?

Ftblr: Have u had any local food, and how was it?
EB: They have different local fish that they've been serving. (I don't know the names) I'm a seafood lover & it's been pretty good.
