After taking a week off — for reasons? — D.J. and Jeremy are back in the saddle for the penultimate #Pondcast of Season 9. Soccer did not take the week off though, and things have gotten wild while we were out. For example, the title race is now razor thin in England. Spurs managed to […]

Recorded on what is arguably Jeremy’s least favorite fake holiday — May the 4th — and after he took in a similarly-themed match (and win!) at our local MLS venue, this force was definitely working through us on this episode. In it, we not only divulged our nerdy desires but also broke down the further […]

The business end of the English campaign has arrived, and as usual, it’s tough to make out where things stand each week in certain parts of the table. On this week’s show, we discuss how the neat and tidy placements in the table have made way for chaos in the chase for fourth place and […]

Just when we thought the top of the English table was settled, things have gotten interesting in City and Liverpool’s pursuit of the title. Just a few places below them, a royal rumble is unfolding for the coveted fourth spot as Spurs, Arsenal, and United see who can trip up the most as they chase […]

So… you were probably wondering where we were, huh? International breaks have always been a bit of a down time for the #Pondcast, and that was no different. But our normal pause was extended when Jeremy experienced issues with his heart and we took a few extra weeks to give him some time to recover/play […]

Since Roman’s boys in blue just can’t seem to stay out of the headlines, D.J. and Jeremy were again back to talk about the ongoing entanglement between Chelsea, their owner, and the fallout from the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Too, the title fight is back on as just a single point now separates City from […]

Have a few spare billions burning a hole in your pocket? Then you could be the cool new owner of London’s Chelsea Football Club… presuming Roman is cool with you taking it off his hands. And on this week’s episode of the #Pondcast, D.J. and Jeremy ponder the potential buyers not named you and what […]

Like the rest of the world, we’ve been watching the events unfold in Ukraine over the last week. And though we’re privileged to not be active participants in the acts of war, it’s natural to speculate how that might impact the things we care about. So on this week’s episode of the #Pondcast, we tried […]

It might just be February, but with matchday one of the 2022 season looming this weekend, it’s time for the Pondcast’s annual Major League Soccer preview. The boys share their normal picks — playoff finishers in each conference, Supporter Shield winners, MLS Cup winners, Golden Boot and MVP selection, coach of the year, and three […]
