Let’s see where it leaves us in a fascinating battle for supremacy and a national playoff place. the rankings NC Fusion U23, +0 from last week (W 4-1 over Wake). Another quality win for Fusion, who took the opportunity to distance themselves a bit from a […]
Well, things got awfully interesting in the midweek and made week 7 a fascinating one. In a division where only first place is guaranteed a spot in the national playoffs, the battle for top dog is being tightly contested. Let’s see how things are situated throughout the table with our rankings. the rankings NC Fusion […]
It’s a brand-new addition to the smallworld power rankings lineup: the South Atlantic Division of USL League Two! One of the most intriguing conferences in lower-league soccer, this division stretches from Tennessee to Virginia by way of Charleston, WV and the Raleigh triangle. It’s home to some of the best summer soccer on the east […]
Recently dubbed the “maskiest mask place ever” by a fond visitor, Asheville, NC is one of North Carolina’s better-kept secrets. That goes for its fun vibe, beautiful mountain backdrop, and underrated downtown, of course, but it also applies to its soccer scene. Nowhere is this more evident than at an Asheville City SC home match, […]
A few years back, they were the darlings of lower-league American soccer and the public representation of our corner of the game on a national scale.

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 […]
A warm welcome to you into a new series coming to SmallWorld this summer. I’m calling it Power Rankings, because cREaTiVitY. Each week during the summer soccer season, I’ll release a Power Rankings post that uses match results and my own opinion to determine the best teams in a particular division. In the meantime before […]
After our NPSL version of this post blew up for SmallWorld standards, I thought it would be great to do another edition with a different league. USL League Two has seven announced clubs so far, and SmallWorld is adding First State FC Midnight Riders to the fray, even though they’re an NPSL team. They were […]
