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 […]
#Pondcast: That gap
After surviving the early year bugs that seem to be doing the rounds, a scruffy D.J. and worn-down Jeremy reconvened following a week off to examine Liverpool’s continued dominance — and why it’s okay to admit they’ve spent money to get that way. Too, we looked at Sergio Agüero’s record-setting day against Aston Villa, Bournemouth’s […]
#Pondcast: The episode of the decade
In perfectly unplanned irony, the 20th episode of season seven of the #Pondcast also happens to be the first episode of 2020. And we used the special occasion as an opportunity to reflect back over the previous decade that was in the wild and crazy world of football. First, we took a peek back at […]
#Pondcast: Disappointment
It’s never easy to watch your team lose. And on this week’s show, D.J.’s Spurs losing to Jeremy’s Chelsea was always going to be a topic that would need to be tackled. But when some of D.J.’s fellow Spurs supporters took the loss to Chelsea so poorly that they felt the need to racially abuse […]
#Pondcast: A gift for you
What could you have possibly done to deserve another Thursday #Pondcast drop? Moise Keane knows that unfair feeling, too. And on this week’s (late) show, we touched on the ongoing crisis at Everton and Arsenal, and we roped Chelsea in on the action too — even if a bit premature. On the domestic side of things, […]
