So… you were probably wondering where we were, huh? International breaks have always been a bit of a down time for the #Pondcast, and that was no different. But our normal pause was extended when Jeremy experienced issues with his heart and we took a few extra weeks to give him some time to recover/play […]

The promised land of World Cup qualification remains just over the horizon for the USMNT, but the Red, White and Blue are close enough that they can hear the screams of the migrant workers boisterous cheers awaiting them.

Since Roman’s boys in blue just can’t seem to stay out of the headlines, D.J. and Jeremy were again back to talk about the ongoing entanglement between Chelsea, their owner, and the fallout from the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

In England, we analyze where things stand for the big six sides — aside from City, who are clearly running away with things. In Europe, our first glimpses of the Champions League knockout stage also saw some teams […]

Originally recorded two weeks ago after the conclusion of the international break — and following a series of literally icy results in World Cup qualifying for the USMNT — D.J. and Jeremy convened digitally to reflect on where the ‘Nats stand in the “Octagonal” and whether there’s cause for concern.
