With everything that’s transpired over the last week, it was inevitable that this week’s episode of the #Pondcast was going to be (another) long one. Two Premier League matchdays, a Champions League to prepare for, a long-awaited conclusion to the Copa Libertadores final, Save the Crew news, an MLS Cup champion crowned, and an NCAA College […]

#Pondcast: Recorded Live from Quarantine
Despite picking up a nasty bug while in Chicago over the weekend, we managed to hold Jeremy to his weekly podcasting duties and pump out this week’s show — from an isolation chamber in his basement anyway. But even with great distance between them, the guys managed to rundown another big weekend of soccer on […]
#Pondcast: Drogba Always Pictured His Last Match in Kentucky
One of the legends of the game’s recent era will call time on his days as a professional footballer this weekend in Louisville, Kentucky. Just the way he pictured it as a child in the Ivory Coast, Didier Drogba will look to cap off his glittering career by leading his Phoenix Rising FC to an […]
#Pondcast: Thanks for the Memories
Last weekend’s domestic action takes center stage on this week’s episode of the #Pondcast, as D.J. and Jeremy dissect MLS Decision Day results and look ahead at the resulting MLS Cup Playoff matchups coming at us starting this week. We also devoted a sizable portion of the show to looking back at FC Cincinnati’s now-completed […]
#Pondcast: We’ll Have to Call Him Jessi or Something
Though barrenness of yet another international break is upon us, the latest #Pondcast episode has also arrived to take you back in time to relive last week’s club football action instead. On this week’s show, we contemplate how Mourinho managed to survive a dagger-wielding Rafa Benítez, why Liverpool-City failed to live up to the impossible expectations we […]
#Pondcast: It’s Premature to Call the Hornets Foxes
Fill your international break with #Pondcast joy as D.J. and Jeremy tackle Watford’s perfect start to the Premier League season before contrasting it with West Ham’s own chaotic commencement to the campaign. The guys then tackled this year’s Champions League draw and shared some listener contributions on the subject before taking a trip Stateside to assess the […]
#Pondcast: Relegation Is Not Sexy
The first relegation scalp has been claimed in the lead up to this week’s episode of the #Pondcast, and for that reason, the guys lamented over the loss of a once sexy side from the Premier League. In addition to also looking into which club might be next to face the knife, there was also plenty […]
#Pondcast: If You Don’t Like Falconry, Get Out
With the Premier League winding down, the guys shifted focus this week to give the UEFA Champions League the spotlight treatment now that we’ve reached the semifinal stage. First leg recaps and second leg predictions, included! We didn’t totally relegate the EPL to the pit of despair though, and there was time for some domestic stuff […]
#Pondcast: Sprinkling Investments
Let’s pretend for a second that the first legs of the Champions League semis didn’t happen. Becuase if they hadn’t, then you would definitely want to hear the guys preview the semifinal round. If you must pay attention to reality, then just imagine we were previewing the second legs too. And to be fair, we did. A […]
#Pondcast: Title Hoisting and Fruit by the Foot
We’ll kick off this week’s #Pondcast by apologizing for the inordinate amount of 90’s nostalgia on this latest episode — the guys accidentally fell down an old commercial rabbit hole immediately prior to recording, and it permeated wide swaths of this week’s show. And no, that totally wasn’t an effort to wash over the fact that […]
