Thoughts and Opinions

For whatever reason, I couldn't get the game to work for the first half. So no detailed recap of the game because I'm pissed off about technology (yes, I know I'm on technology writing about being upset with technology... "don't bother me with trifles").

The important takeaway is that Rhode Island is on 35 points, Indy is on 33 points, and Miami is on 33 points after winning tonight against Sporting JAX. That's how the table sits with RI having a match in hand on Indy, and Indy having a match in hand on Miami. 

Indy return to action this weekend against Loudoun. If they don't get a win, the Tampa Bay, Louisville, Charleston finish looks even more daunting with an out-of-form Indy and a currently in-form Miami. Didn't think 11 days ago Indy would find themselves in this situation when they were 9 points clear of Miami. What a difference a week and a half makes. Indy 0W-3L in that timeframe, while Miami is 3W-0L.
