It was #1 vs #2 in a cataclysmic inner-city derby in Manchester this past weekend, with practically nothing hanging on the balance of the result — well, that’s if you ignore one side getting to lift an all-but-hoisted trophy at the end of regulation had they won. But what transpired was still highly enjoyable, an […]

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 […]

After two straight weeks with heavily delayed #Pondcast deliveries, we get things back on track this week with the usual Tuesday afternoon posting. So no broken hearts should come on that front — in the footballing world though, the same promises couldn’t be made this past weekend. For example, D.J. grapples with the reality of a “bottled” […]

We’ve got a title race on our hands, or at least that’s what Chelsea fan Jeremy spent a portion of this latest #Pondcast trying to convince Spurs fan D.J. The guys not only debated the merits of both those side’s chances, but also took some time to dissect the top four race unfolding below them before dancing through the Champions […]

Normally, previews come out before the item they’re previewing has debuted to the world. But here at WSOTP, we do things different — and it has nothing to do with the fact that we weren’t able to get this done any earlier. That said, after a week of opening round fixtures, we’re now ready to drop our 2017 […]

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 […]
