LAG 1-2 RSL: Disastrous Season Continues

Finishing bottom in MLS 2007 now seem to be the forgone conclusion for LA Galaxy after it suffered another crucial defeat to Real Salt Lake (who's 2nd bottom) on Sep-1, having taken a 1-goal lead but ended-up losing 1-2.

Why is it a forgone conclusion? Simple:
LAG has now lost 6 league games in a row, with 7 more games to go in Sep (practically a game every 3/4 days), things don't really look up; while RSL has won 3 out of the last 5 & is really hitting form towards the end of the season. The Sep-1 victory is also RSL's very first away win this season (how ironic that it came against LAG).

MLS Overall Table for the week ended on Sep-2, 2007:
# Team-------- P- W- D L GF - GA Pts GD
1 D.C. United- 22 13 3 6 40 - 23 42 (+17)
2 New England- 23 12 6 5 37 - 28 42 (+9)
3 Houston----- 24 11 6 7 31 - 17 39 (+14)
4 Chivas USA-- 20 11 3 6 30 - 19 36 (+11)
5 New York---- 23 11 3 9 37 - 32 36 (+5)
6 Dallas------ 22 11 3 8 28 - 31 36 (-3)
7 Kansas City- 24 9 06 9 37 - 37 33 (+0)
8 Colorado---- 23 7 07 9 24 - 26 28 (-2)
9 Columbus---- 23 6 10 7 27 - 30 28 (-3)
10 Chicago---- 22 7 5 10 22 - 30 26 (-8)
11 Toronto FC- 22 5 5 12 18 - 35 20 (-17)
12 Salt Lake-- 21 4 6 11 19 - 31 18 (-12)
13 Los Angeles 19 3 5 11 22 - 33 14 (-11)

Projected Finish for MLS 2007 base on the table above:
# Team-------- P- W- D L- GF - GA Pts GD
1 D.C. United- 30 18 4 08 55 - 31 58 24
2 Chivas USA-- 30 17 5 08 45 - 29 56 16
3 New England- 30 16 8 06 48 - 37 56 11
4 Houston----- 30 14 8 08 39 - 21 50 18
5 Dallas------ 30 15 4 11 38 - 42 49 -4
6 New York---- 30 14 4 12 48 - 42 46 6
7 Kansas City- 30 11 8 11 46 - 46 41 0
8 Columbus---- 30 8 13 09 35 - 39 37 -4
9 Chicago----- 30 10 7 13 30 - 41 37 -11
10 Colorado--- 30 09 9 12 31 - 34 36 -3
11 Toronto FC- 30 07 7 16 25 - 48 28 -23
12 Salt Lake-- 30 06 9 15 27 - 44 27 -17
13 Los Angeles 30 05 8 17 35 - 52 23 -17

With 11 games left in this season, LAG must now try to salvage some pride by picking-up at least 2 more points to avoid the tag of "Worst Team in MLS History", currently held by the 2001 Tampa Bay Mutiny who had 14 points from 27 games back then.
