Most weeks in the world of soccer are busy, and last week was no different. But it just so happened to be punctuated by a couple of highlight moments — there was England’s North London Derby, and then there were a delightful pair of MLS Cup Playoff conference finals in the States that were entertaining […]

#Pondcast: Are we pretenders?
A late-week recording, the boys took some time on this week’s show to reflect on the ultimately boring top-of-the-table clash between DJ’s Spurs and Jeremy’s Chelsea and consider whether either are truly title contenders. After skipping our way through the rest of last weekend’s Premier League action, the guys looked conference semifinal round action in […]
#Pondcast: A real title race
Watch out, folks: we have a real live title race on our hands in England. Or at least that’s it way it seemed to D.J. and Jeremy after last weekend’s action in the Premier League. Spurs are leading the pack following their big win over Manchester City, but Liverpool and Chelsea are hot on their […]
#Pondcast: The kids are alright
Though the guys normally take the week off during international breaks, the excitement and buzz surrounding the younglings currently composing the U.S. men’s national team was enough to coax D.J. and Jeremy back to their mics. Not only did we dote on the promising prospects of the group, but we examined areas of the squad […]
#Pondcast: Oh here it is
With no election to blame for the delay in this week’s episode, we’ll just chalk it up to the return of colder temperatures slowing D.J. and Jeremy’s roll. Maybe the return of actual Fall weather can also explain why City-Liverpool ended up being so boring, though we still managed to find a way to explore […]
#Pondcast: An identity
Delayed to due to Election USA 2020, the latest episode of the #Pondcast drops in belated fashion this week as D.J. and Jeremy focused in on Arsenal’s and Arteta’s big win at Old Trafford. Too, we examined Everton’s downturn in form, Spurs getting some help from VAR, and the excitement surrounding the talent-filled first USMNT’s […]
#Pondcast: He said what?
Big news broke just before the show (for once!) when outgoing Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu seemed to indicate that the Blaugrana already had one foot in the proposed European Premier League’s controversial door. As such, deep-dove into the sensitive subject on this week’s show in addition to the normal rundown of the weekend’s Premier League […]
#Pondcast: We’ll call it a draw
Last weekend was a weekend of draws in the Premier League — six in total, to be specific. And among them were three particularly high-profile ones with Everton finally slipping up against Liverpool, and Spurs and Chelsea each throwing away sizable first-half leads. On the stateside portion of the show, we deep-dove into the Support […]
#Pondcast: None of you saw that coming, did you?
Sure, we made you wait a few days to hear us break down last weekend’s Premier League action. But after the wild weekend that transpired in England, we figured it was worth the wait to listen in to our takes on topics such as “Is Erik Lamela terrible?”, “Is getting mashed by Villa bad news […]
#Pondcast: This is what it’s come to
The beautiful game is dead… long live the beautiful game. Okay, it’s not that bad. But after yet another weekend of escalating VAR-induced buffoonery, it was worth exploring the sentiments expressed following Manchester United being given a penatly after the final whistle and Eric Dier’s backward-facing handball on this week’s Pondcast. D.J. and Jeremy also […]
