In answer to your question regarding a match between Patriots and Indios? If Indios played the roster they play in the US, they would do as good as they did in the Cup.

Before the addition of Griego, I would have given the nod to the Indios, but now that the Pats have a proven goal scorer, it would be a very interesting game. I think the answer would lie in which stadium the game would be played in. We have seen time and time again when the Pats play on a larger field, that great team chemistry that we are all used to goes away a little bit. I also believe that the Indios players overall may have a bit more of experience over the Pats. This is a game that I would love to see happen, but I don't know if the two sides could ever come together to get it done. I have also discussed this with some of the Indios players who have great respect for the Patriots team and organization, and they do not have an answer, but they think that it would be a very competitive game. Congrats to both of these fine teams for representing the city well.
To remark to the last post, I don't feel that the Indios should feel any shame in knowing that they lost to a first division team on their home field 3-2 after traveling over 2,000 miles.

I an certain that the Indios aren't ashamed of the result. As for the experience mentioned, NPSL is not at the same level as the PDL, that is why they have fared so well all season. Playing less competitive teams doesn't mean that they have experience. I suppose you mean the experience all the international players have. This is why I previously posted a comment about the Indios moving up.

I concur, a 3-2 result is pretty good for a first year team. The goals are inconsistent when it comes to Indios, one day they win 5-0 the other they tie. One wonders if the large point difference is related to a travel roster vs home roster issue? Hmmm. I also agree with the statement about Griego, the Patriots were only scoring in set plays until they brought him into the equation. As I mentioned before, if the Indios play only NPSL players and keep the 1A players south of the border, the Patriots would come out on top.

Funny, I see it the opposite, playing at Patriots Stadium limits the long passes, having the lateral walls so close inhibits the game from flowing for the Patriots. Hopefully, if the Patriots advance, we will see the Dynamo in El Paso, something I heard the news media mention a while back ago about Indios playing an exhibition game with Dynamo. No matter who plays them, the Patriots or the Indios, I would love to see the game.
