It’s fitting that the UPSL Georgia Division is under way in late March, because it’s quickly becoming madness. There are a few especially interesting tidbits and plenty of movement in the Power Rankings for this week, so thanks for taking a look! Keep in mind that we’ll have separate articles for the Mid-Atlantic Division and […]
Now that we have the joyous problem on our hands known as “too much soccer to keep up with”, we at smallworld figure it’s time to put out a weekly edition of what we’re calling viewfinder. Essentially, it’ll serve as your guide to watching the best lower-league American soccer on offer each weekend. It’ll come […]
It’s only been a week since Atletico Atlanta won their first UPSL title, but they’re already being called upon to start the process of defending it. That process starts right here in the Georgia Division of the UPSL Premier, a brand refresh for the top tier of the country’s largest pre-professional league. The Peach State’s […]
What a weekend it was in Atlanta. The UPSL Fall 2020 season has been a long, long time coming, but last weekend on March 5 and 7, we saw the end of an embattled, exciting season that incorporated nearly every conference in UPSL’s Division I. There are a lot of aspects to consider here, but […]

This post is sponsored by Offside Marketing! Also, this post is eligible for the gigantic grassroots grammar challenge. In the last edition of smlwld stans, we took an exclusive look at all the clubs we’re stanning in the NISA Independent Cup. We’ll certainly review those selections this time around, but there are many other leagues […]
It’s been a while since we’ve had a Club Feature at SmallWorld, but this one will be worth the wait. I happened across Bright Stars SC while searching for clubs that might be hidden gems in lower-league soccer, and reached out to them via their contact page on their website. Considering how many times I’ve […]
As it turns out, when soccer lunatics like myself don’t have any more soccer in their lives, we become just lunatics. Instead of adding to the lunacy across American soccer Twitter, I decided I’d just report it as a neutral party. Without further ado, here are a few of the most bizarre things I’ve seen […]
PLEASE NOTE: This post has been updated since its original release. The CSL did not respond before the release date, but has since done so, and in an attempt to hear both sides of this story, I’m now including the statement they sent me. Before we do anything else, I just want to acknowledge that […]
This is what happens when you try to make any sort of list with the UPSL. I wanted to do something similar to my USL2 and NPSL expansion lists, ranking each expansion team in said league for the 2020 season and explaining my excitement, or lack thereof (looking at you, Valeo), for their entrance onto […]
