With our first live (short) show behind us, the guys returned to their metaphorical booth for their second summer special of 2019 — and there was a lot to talk about. In case you somehow missed it, the U.S. women’s national team lifted their second straight World Cup since we last recorded — and we devoted part […]

#Pondcast: Live in Cleveland
If you thought you would go a whole summer without Wrong Side of the Pond polluting your podcast feed, you thought wrong. But unlike our standard shows throughout the European season, we’re not back to burden you with an hour-plus episode in this summer heat: our first summer special of 2019 — yes, this does imply there […]
#Pondcast: If You Don’t Like Falconry, Get Out
With the Premier League winding down, the guys shifted focus this week to give the UEFA Champions League the spotlight treatment now that we’ve reached the semifinal stage. First leg recaps and second leg predictions, included! We didn’t totally relegate the EPL to the pit of despair though, and there was time for some domestic stuff […]
#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: 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: This Is It (For the Fourth Time)
We’ve reached the end. For those hoping the delayed arrival of this episode coupled with the title meant that we would finally be putting the #Pondcast out of its misery, sorry to disappoint you. This is simply it for season four. And honestly, if you’ve listened to us for more than the last year, you’ll know that’s […]
#Pondcast: You’re a Co-Host and You’re a Co-Host!
We have to admit: it’s been a pretty enjoyable little week here in #Pondcast-land. With Jeremy’s Chelsea and DJ’s Spurs looking the class of the Premier League and World Cup 2026 seemingly heading our direction, there’s plenty to be happy about and talk about. On this week’s show, the guys debate the likelihood of someone aside from Chelsea […]
#Pondcast: The Show Recorded Entirely in DJ’s Pants
A wild and chaotic weekend in the Premier League gave the guys ample room to debate on this week’s WSOTP Pondcast a number of intriguing questions. Was Palace’s upset of Chelsea enough to open the door for Spurs? Can City or Liverpool actually make up the points gap and make it more than a two horse […]
#Pondcast: How Bruce Gave Us Our Groove Back
As we’ve harped on before, coming up with content on international weeks is hard. Okay, on week’s like this one, it isn’t that hard. What with the US Men’s National Team demolishing Honduras after having their German shackles removed and Christian Pulisic being ordained the official second coming. But with minimal MLS to report on, and no Premier […]
#Pondcast: Never pet a burning dog
It’s officially spring here in Ohio. That means the weather is currently wildly fluctuating between spells of winter and early summer, most of the country has turned its attention to basketball madness, and those of us in the world of soccer are left to be drowned by a tsunami of soccer. The English Premiership has reached the point […]
