This past weekend had it all: an Arsenal-United smackdown, a five-goal masterclass from Sergio Agüero, yet another Chelsea trip up, one manager quitting despite a positive result, and another manager losing his job after a somewhat positive result. Oh yeah, and there was USA-Mexico roster release that’s inspiring loads of questions of yet another manager, and […]

WSOTP pod: season 2 episode 34
We’ve nearly reached squeaky-bum time in the Premier League season, and as such, most of the latest #Pondcast focuses in on the increasingly interesting races at the top and bottom of the English top flight. Who will go down? Who will go to Europe? And how will Spurs let D.J. down next? We certainly tackled all those questions, […]
ten words or less #80
I’ve been a little USA-Mexico heavy in this space for the last week or so, and understandably so. And predictably, a little bit of that spills over into this weeks TWOL posting. If you’re feeling a little burnt out on the subject, don’t worry… there’s still a further six links below that aren’t related to […]
WSOTP pod: episode 5
WSOTP Pod “Dos a Cero Special”: Season 1 Episode 5 If you went to bed on Tuesday night sad and confused as to why you didn’t get to listen to the newest edition of the WSOTP Pod, my deepest apologies. We didn’t mean to leave you hanging. We just thought it best to delay the […]
USA Mega Tailgate
As you’ve probably (hopefully) already read in my complete guide to all of the USA-Mexico festivities occurring in Columbus in the lead up to the big game, there’s a lot of stuff going on. But if you’re not getting into town until the day of the match, it’s likely that you’re really only concerned about […]
the WSOTP guide to #USAvMEX
Are you counting down? I’m counting down. I can hardly stand the anticipation. It’s been eight long years since the last time I made the short drive to Columbus to watch the US Men’s National Team take on our hated rivals Mexico at Crew Stadium in a World Cup qualifier. And now we’re just a […]
growing pains, part II
This won’t last forever. I know it hurts, but the pain will go away. Everyone has to go through this. Growing pains, my mother contended, were just a part of growing up. The persistent throbbing and aching, she promised, wouldn’t last and the pains would eventually fade away. And if I wanted to grow up to […]
so, who’s going to USAvMEX on WSOTP’s dime?
It’s been a crazy week here at Wrong Side of the Pond. Traffic has been through the roof on the site, I’ve picked up hundreds of new followers on my various social media platforms, and I’ve even sold a few shirts from the WSOTP Shop. All of those are things that really get my blood racing […]
growing pains
“Be careful what you ask for.” That’s probably what many European and South American supporters would say to us American soccer fans right about now. Other popular American sports fans would probably do the same too, if only they were capable of putting down their anti-soccer biases for a few minutes. Long the American soccer […]
a momentous baby step
As the boos and whistles rained down from the rafters, things must have finally felt different for the American players standing on the Estadio Azteca pitch. Never before had a US men’s side left the cavernous Azteca — or any other stadium in Mexico for that matter — with more goals than their hosts. But […]
