Often times, picking a “Pic of the Week” is a snap: one ridiculous picture will go viral in the previous week, making it the obvious choice. But occasionally, there are several pictures that I’d be more than happy to see take the prize. Such was the case this week, as I nearly went with a […]

Based on the above “Pic of the Week”, I could forgive you for wondering if WSOTP is considering a switch in subject matter to blogging about military techniques, paintball or homeless veterans living in the forest. Rest assured, it’s not. In fact, this week’s selection is very much a soccer picture, even if it doesn’t […]

I have little doubt that there are at least a few of you wondering what it is about the picture above — depicting what appears to be a normal pre-match handshake — so special that I would choose to make it my “Pic of the Week.” And assuming you don’t follow the Football League Championship, it’s […]

When you are The Zlatan, you do what you want, anywhere you want. He’s pretty well proven that with his willingness to kick teammates all around Europe.

Yes, I’m well aware that I’m jumping the gun on this week’s “Pic of the Week” by posting it six days earlier than normal. But considering how I haven’t exactly kept this “regular” feature very regular to this point, I hardly think anyone will kick up too much of a fuss. Anyway, this picture is far […]

So this week’s Pic of the Week is several pictures, so I’m kind of cheating. But honestly, it would be pretty hard to deny any of the members of England’s so-called “Golden Generation” the opportunity to grace this sacred space on the week they all called time on their (mostly) glittering careers. I mean, could you […]

Having wrapped up the Bundesliga title ages ago, Bayern Munich finally got around to celebrating the title this weekend after yet another merciless slaughter of an opponent at the Allianz Arena. And as is the tradition in Germany, everyone celebrated by pouring copious amounts of beer on one another… and somewhere, I’m sure the Free […]

Have you ever had one of those moments during one of your Sunday League matches where you realize that you’re taking things far too seriously for an amateur game? You know, where you get way too caught up in the moment and you feel like you’re playing under the bright lights of a Champions League […]

Short of the (future) children of the royals, Brooklyn, Cruz and Romeo Beckham (L-R) are most likely the most famous children in England along with their sister Harper. And given their parents’ fame, it’s not so infrequent that the little rascals show up in the news. But are Beckham’s kids really so important that they […]
