Against all logic, the crazy world of soccer somehow managed to get a little crazier since our last show. And none of that had to do with the weekend of Premier League action, which itself was a little crazy. We took our normal walkthrough of our the English top-tier — and some momentary dalliances into some […]
#Pondcast: Bye Bye Bruce
Given the chaos in American soccer over the last week, a return to the Premier League offered at least a partial distraction for the guys going into this week’s show. And though 40% of last weekend’s actions ended in drab draws — hello, Liverpool-United — the remaining six results packed plenty of drama: Palace’s surprising […]
#Pondcast: Nuclear Fall Out
While we had originally planned to take the week off due to the international break, the “most embarrassing moment in U.S. Soccer history” went and happened, forcing D.J. & Jeremy into emergency action. In the chaotic hours that followed the USMNT’s 2-1 defeat and subsequent elimination from the 2018 World Cup in Russia, we thought […]
#Pondcast: Pep-mate
This past weekend, the schedule making gods bestowed upon us to the Tyson-Holyfield of the current Premier League era: Chelsea vs Manchester City. Guided by two tacticians, we were treated to 90 minutes of footballing goodness — and ultimately, Jeremy Lance sorrow. After making him relive the experience to kick things off on this week’s […]
#Pondcast: Fabian Delph Lives
Covering this week’s Premier League action, D.J. & Jeremy weren’t so much shocked that Manchester City rolled to a 5-0 victory over Crystal Palace, so much as they were shocked at who scored one of those goals. Chelsea’s dominating performance on the road also gets some airtime, but not a whole lot more than Diego […]
#Pondcast: Manchester on Fire
The scourge that is the international break has come to an end, and this past week we were treated to a full smattering of club football. And on this week’s show, we tried to cram as much of it in as we could manage. The Premier League’s current domination from the Manchester clubs gets a […]
#Pondcast: Mané’s Sergio Dipp Moment
Though we didn’t take a high boot to our own faces, we were out of commission earlier this week — so a late podcast covering all of the weekend’s Premier League action is the silver lining you should be looking for. In it, we spend time discussing how Mané was definitely deserving of the red he saw against […]
#Pondcast: It Can Get Worse
In years past, we would have considered taking a week off from the podcast due to the international break and the relative dearth of soccer to discuss. However, as grizzled fathers of multiple children subjected to a three day Holiday weekend, getting together to drink beer and talk soccer sounded like a necessity. As a […]
#Pondcast: Your Deadline Day Sky Sports Alternative
This past weekend’s round of Premier League action produced happiness in the Northwest of England and disappointment in North London, and the guys focused in on both on this week’s #Pondcast. Time was also devoted to the fast approaching European transfer window deadline, and we put on our best Sky Sports correspondent hats and tried […]
#Pondcast: Derby Delight/Distress
The earliest WSOTP Derby in recorded history took place last weekend. One half of the #Pondcast team looked forward to it eagerly, while the other looked on in trepidation. The result left them both feeling rather different. We of course covered more than just Spurs-Chelsea though, as the guys dashed through the rest of the weekend Premier […]
