Nearly every team moved positions in this week’s table. Two teams picked up wins away from home, and last week’s #1 was one of the losing home teams. The all too short World Cup break can’t come soon enough for many teams.

I do rankings for both NWSL and MLS a little differently; typically in soccer leagues within the USA, the home team wins more than 50% of the time. Thus I rank any team deviates from the ‘normal’ higher - basically an away team winning will move higher than a home team winning. The same applies for ties - a home team drawing will likely cause them to drop because it’s not what was expected of them.

So without further mindless banter, here’s the power rankings for week 7. (#) indicates last week’s ranking.
