LAG must beat RSL on Sep-1

In order to avoid finishing last overall in 2007, let alone reaching the now-seem-beyond-reach playoffs, LAG simply has to beat RSL on the Sep-1 MLS game to stand any chance...

September will be a very tough month for LAG, who not only has to play 8 games(!) during this period, but also need to cope with the absence of David Beckham for about 6 weeks...

More coverage of this on SoccerNet / TodayOnline:

Last-place Galaxy can't afford another Beckham injury

LA lost SuperLiga final on 29-Aug, yet another blow...

On the day RSL sent them to bottom-place in the MLS, LA Galaxy suffered another blow by losing the inaugural North American SuperLiga final to Mexico's Panchua 3-4 in PKs, when the match ended 1-1 a.e.t.

Beckham himself started the game but had to leave after 30 mins with a knee injury after his collision with one of the Panchua players.

Now he faces a longer road to full recovery as the team struggles to get anything out of this disastorous season...

Sigh, LA Galaxy now officially the Bottom Team of MLS...

David Beckham's Team, the Los Angeles Galaxy, has officially bacame the bottom team of Major League Soccer for the first time in 2007 season, after the previous bottom team, Real Salt Lake, beat Kansas City Wizards 3-1 on 30-Aug-2007.

Though this is not unexpected, as LA has occupied the second bottom place for long time with RSL chasing closely from behind, it's still sad to see Beckham landed himself in a messy team...

As at 30-Aug-2007, the MLS Table look like:
