Not a fan. Too often last year the team seemed poorly organized and unable to move the ball effectively through the midfield. There was talent there, especially when Mares came back, but the players didn't seem to understand how to play together effectively. There was an awful lot of hoof-and-hope, reminiscent of the early days under Jurgen Sommer. That's on the coach.
On this day in 2013, Indy Pro Soccer was officially dubbed Indy Eleven Professional Soccer. And our story continues... https://www.indyeleven.com/about-indy
As of today, fivethirtyeight.com (which has sports statistics as a secondary specialty) gives Indy Eleven a greater than 99 percent chance of making the playoffs, an 18 percent chance of making the final game, and an eight percent chance of winning the championship. That's down just a bit from two weeks ago (when Indy was given a 10 percent chance of winning the championship) but it's still better than anyone in the east except Tampa Bay (though only a hair's breadth better than NYRB2). (Please note: fivethirtyeight.com is principally a political website; I am not citing it or endorsing it for that purpose. I simply thought it was interesting that the site (a) would cover the USL Championship at all, and (b) would rank Indy so highly).
Huh, I never knew 538 was a political site. I never leave the ranking page. I don't know if you've ever looked at their global rankings but they have Indy Eleven as the 487th best team in the world. Right in between Cittadella of Serie B and Silkeborg of the Danish Superliga.
