in review: MLS jersey week 2015
Maybe it’s just me, but it sure feels like the Major League Soccer off season is getting shorter and shorter every year. It seems as if it was just days ago that we were watching the Galaxy hoist their fifth MLS Cup trophy. Perhaps that’s due to the near constant stream of news now pouring from the […]

If you haven’t noticed, things have been pretty busy around these parts lately. Podcats have been coming out rather frequently. There’s been an uptick in original written pieces lately, too. We’ve gotten back into hosting events as well, as was evident with our Derby Saturday watch parties at our favorite soccer bar — Rhinehaus — here in […]
WSOTP pod: season 2 episode 26
Despite suffering numerous technical difficulties this week, surviving a “horrible” snowstorm and seeing confusing midweek English fixtures throwing everyone’s schedules off, the #Pondcast is back this week and better than ever.

the WSOTP guide to #MLS hashtags
To my fellow Twitter-holic soccer fans out there, the hashtag is quite possibly one of the most important aspects of your day-to-day life. Which is a little sad when you think about it, but I’m going to give myself a pass if for no other reason than to feel better about myself. Regardless, the use […]
WSOTP pod: season 2 episode 24
Last week, the guys foolishly took the week off from the #Pondcast as they licked their wounds after seeing both of their sides tumble out of the FA Cup. This week they’re being made to pay for it with a fortnight’s worth of football to cover. So what exactly is on deck for this week? How about a recounting […]
beckham and new york city: a match made in MLS heaven?
From its very beginning, Major League Soccer’s proposed return to Miami has seemed a bit off. It’s an exciting market, but one that professional soccer had yet to conquer. Under the stewardship of global superstar, two-time MLS Cup champion and owner of a discount MLS expansion agreement, David Beckham, the goal of bringing professional soccer back to Southern Florida […]
