CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy continued their slip down the MLS Power Rankings after falling to 0-2 on the season last weekend.
The Galaxy dropped a 1-0 result to the Portland Timbers on Sunday dropping the first two matches of the season for the first time since the 2001 campaign. As a result of the defeat, the Galaxy tumbled down the three most prominent MLS Power Rankings.
Their explanations are below:
The social game remains strong, but the games that count in the standings have left us with plenty of questions. Galaxy fans will hope those get answered as guys get healthy.
Beset by red card suspensions and injuries, things are off to a rough start for Curt Onalfo in LA after the Galaxy dropped their second defeat of the season.
Is it already time for LA to press the panic button? No, of course not – we’re only two games in. Still, Sunday’s 1–0 home loss to Portland means the Galaxy have started with two straight losses for the first time since 2001. Jelle Van Damme’s red card came as a result of two dives, but the tackles that caused those dives were clearly borne of frustration. Gio Dos Santos’ injury, which brought him off the field at halftime, is another add to the Galaxy’s woes.
