Chattanooga is a squad who is ROLLING through the National Independent Soccer Association, scoring 9 goals and allowing 0. Are they are good as that scoring record may suggest?

Patreon Hello! In this episode of Hammering Down, I discuss Orange County SC and their confusing season.

Magic City Kit Patreon Hello! In this episode of Hammering Down, I discuss Loudoun United and their confusing start to the season. When we scream about teams playing their youth, Loudoun takes it more seriously than any other club in the USL. While this team may not look amazing on paper, this attack is legit. How worried should the 3 Sparks be?
