His place in the Irish team might be increasingly under threat, but Robbie keeps banging ‘em in Stateside.

It’s debatable as to how much stock you can place in Robbie’s consistent goalscoring record in the MLS because, well, it’s the MLS, but at least he hasn’t lot sight of where the goal is.

Last night, he produced a clinical left-footed finish to open the scoring for the Galaxy against the Colorado Rapids in a 2-0 victory for Keane and company, his 12th goal of the season to date.

Possibly the most interesting aspect of the goal is how disinterested Keane looks having not received a pass earlier in the build-up, but before you know it, he makes a burst into the box with perfect timing and provides a perfect finish.

Robbie may not be at his sharpest in an Irish jersey this weather, but more goals like this will probably see him keep Shane Long and others at bay for a little while longer.
