With a big match on the horizon this weekend in domestic football — you know, the MLS Cup Final — we thought it high time to gather the local readers/supporters together again with another watch party at our favorite local pub, Rhinehaus in Over-the-Rhine.

On the latest edition of the Pondcast, the boys run the gamut of the footballing landscape.

WSOTP pod: season 2 episode 12
I feel like it’s getting a bit redundant when I say there was a lot for us to talk about this week on the Pondcast — a new nickname for the podcast that we’re adopting thanks to clever /r/soccer user TommyShambles — but once again it was true. Even though the Premier League featured a bunch of […]

We go around the world in 68 minutes on the latest edition of the podcast, as there was football aplenty to chat about.
