You know what’s completely absurd? A club that has 71 players on their books. Seventy-one players: that’s slightly more than enough to field six whole match day squads. The club with seventy-one players, at least according to their Wikipedia page: West London’s finest, Chelsea Football Club. Granted, a decent haul of those players are currently […]
For the first time in weeks it seems like, there was only a single helping of Premier League action for Jeremy and D.J. to cover on the podcast. And that means that there was ample time after the BPL round up — which includes discussions on Liverpool’s blowout victory over the Gunners and Gary Monk being […]
Though we don’t often show it, men — even famous sportsmen — are still humans with emotions, too. And this latest edition of Pic of the Week captures one of those fleeting moments of male insecurity for posterity, as it features an overly emotional Mario Balotelli shedding tears after being subbed in Milan’s 2-1 weekend loss […]
There’s a quiet revolution happening in Columbus, Ohio. Despite years of near anonymity and near afterthought status, the city’s soccer franchise may finally be entering a renaissance of sorts.

Ignoring the actual context for just a moment, this might be the coolest American soccer picture of all time: our stylish, world-famous national team manager exiting his helicopter and signalling to the masses just how awesome he is with a confident thumbs up. The only thing that could possibly make it any better would be […]
Even though today is Transfer Deadline Day — a day where million dollar players will be tossed around like singles at a billionaires’ strip club — I can’t stop thinking about a whispers of a player staying at his current club instead of being shipped off to a new one. That is if the rumor mill […]

Break out the champagne WSOTP Pod listeners — for the first time in several weeks, we were actually been able to get the podcast up for its regularly scheduled Tuesday publishing!
