On this week’s pandemic special, we imagine a world where soccer was actually being played again. And if we had limitless funds, we each list 10 where we would want to try to catch a match before the next infectious disease breaks out on a global scale. In addition to the bucket lists, we hit […]

#Pondcast: The guilty pleasures of lockdown
It’s week three of Corona-flavored quarantine here in Ohio and it’s clear that social distancing has started to take its toll. We humored the craziest of conspiracy theories, like how the Premier League might actually finish their season. Jeremy listed the best five soccer documentaries to watch on a single streaming platform. And we even […]
#Pondcast: Social distancing at its finest
We’re back with the second installment of quarantined #Pondcast and there’s still no soccer being played, but we’re once again back with some hot content for your ears. In addition to running down the limited headlines — including U.S. Soccer finally getting around to naming a (controversial) pick for their vacant CEO position — we get […]
#Pondcast: Live from quarantine
A lot can change in a little time and this week’s episode of the Pondcast is a testament to that. On our last show, D.J. and Jeremy sat together talking about the approaching climaxes of the European campaigns and the optimism following the return of the North American domestic seasons. But this week? We followed the CDC’s […]
#Pondcast: Virulence
Despite a pandemic sweeping the globe, the world of soccer chugged on this past week… though there were a lot fewer people out to watch it chug along. In England, Liverpool fear they might have to lift a trophy in an empty ground. In MLS, we’ve already seen decreased crowds thanks to covid-19 fears — […]
#Pondcast: And everyone overdosed on soccer
Soccer was inescapable this past week. In the mornings, there was the Premier League to feast on — including Liverpool finally stumbling and a pile up of sides around the final Champions League places. In the afternoon and evenings, there was MLS week one to keep our cup’s full. And we didn’t even get the […]
#Pondcast: Let’s get domestic
Our seventh-annual MLS preview is here, and D.J. and Jeremy once again hit on some of the big topics surrounding the league’s yearly spring launch before tackling a bevy of predictions for the 2020 campaign. We also asked our listeners to get in on the action with their own forecasts for awards such as […]
#Pondcast: From one disaster to another
After a week off due to a truncated Premier League schedule last week, D.J. and Jeremy returned to the booth this week to a bit of a firestorm. For Jeremy, it was a frustrating loss at home for his Chelsea to the damned United combined with a bunch of results that help narrow the race […]
#Pondcast: An instant VAR classic
Everyone’s favorite soccer personality, Video Assistant Review, spent another weekend in the spotlight in England thanks to a trio of controversial calls in Spurs’ surprising upset of Manchester City. So you can expect we spent a fair amount of time (again) talking about VAR on this week’s show. After wrapping up the rest of the […]
#Pondcast: So the window is open, right?
With no show last week, the guys normally would have had lots of ground to cover to make up lost time… but not much has changed in the Premier League. Liverpool are still running away with things, and the rest of the pack chasing behind them seem incapable of finding any consistency. We run things […]
