As we approach the terminus of a rather boring tail end of the European season, one of the inevitable and predictable rituals that we see this time of year are formal sendings off for some of the biggest names in the game as the move on to the next stages in their lives. And this season’s end, […]
the men in line to be the next in line
With the Premier League season all but complete — our relegation sides now identified and the Champions League clubs now set, only some relatively meaningless shuffling of table places and the naming of a champion yet remain — many supporters’ thoughts have drifted on to question and speculate on their clubs’ summer dealings. How will they […]
WSOTP pod: episode 38
While there’s a strong desire to call this latest episode of the podcast the “Cinco de Mayo Special”, Jeremy would probably prefer we call it the “Nose Picking Special” thanks to this hysterical fan shot from this weekend’s action. But there was way more than nose-picking to talk about this week. For instance, an all-Madrid Champions League […]

this ain’t the death of possession
It’s not been a good week for Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola. After suffering a humiliating loss at home to Real Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League semifinal — the 4-0 scoreline also being his heaviest ever defeat — and losing close friend and fellow former Barcelona boss Tito Villanova to complications from throat […]
WSOTP pod: episode 37
The docket for this week’s podcast, for the most part, doesn’t look too different from how it has for past episodes: Premier League round up, Champions League review and thoughts on MLS happenings. And with story lines like Giggs’ first match in charge of United, Liverpool “slipping up” in the title race, Chelsea’s negative tactics […]
we’re bringing the world cup to fountain square
The wait is finally over. 2014: the summer of the World Cup. We made it! Well almost… though we are less than two months away from the big production kicking off in São Paulo on June 12th. So while the long wait for the return of the world’s single most popular sporting event is nearly up, the next question becomes: […]
ten words or less #90
I have to admit that I have been a really lousy writer lately. The last full length article I wrote was published over two weeks ago, and it was nearly a fortnight in between that one and the article previous to it. Yeah, I’ve been giving you guys semi-regular Pic of the Week posts, the occasional Ten Words […]
i want: hurley phantom national team boardshorts
With summer fast approaching, many here in the US are turning their thoughts to warmer summer activities: going to the beach, heading to the pool, or catching some waves. But for those of us who are a bit soccer obsessed, the imminent World Cup in Brazil will force us to put many of our summer […]
new shirt alert: brazil, england and germany added to the “going to brazil” line
Without a doubt, the first design in the WSOTP Shop’s Going to Brazil line of shirts — a US Men’s National Team homage featuring every player that’s made an appearance during this World Cup cycle in the shape of the United States — has easily proven to be the most popular shirt I’ve put out so far. In fact, one […]
