LAG 1-3 HOU: Back to Earth again...

The mini optimism LA Galaxy has enjoyed after the 3-1 win over Colorado on Sep-9 was sadly short-lived, as it promptly crashed to successive defeats against Chivas & Houston in the week after. Details at:
MLSNet.Com: Chivas USA continue impressive play (Club takes season series for first time) &
MLSNet.Com: Dynamo roll over Galaxy (Houston Dynamo will defend their MLS Cup).

MLS Overall Table for the week ended on Sep-17, 2007:

With these latest setbacks, LAG is again projected to finish bottom in 2007, as RSL overtake after a 0-0 draw with Toronto on 15-Sep.

4 more games to go for LAG in September, next-up is none other than RSL on Sep-16. Both teams are quite evenly-matched since 2005, but RSL has won 2-1 when they last met on Sep-1. LAG will almost certainly finish bottom if it loses this one...

Can it salvage some pride (at least a draw if not a win) by then?
