Due to the rapid growth of the sport in this, it feels like hardly a day goes by without a soccer club new crest being unveiled. And like clockwork, countless hours are subsequently spent on Facebook, SoccerTwitter™, /r/soccer, and other various soccer-flavored corners of the internet debating the merits and failures of the logo’s most minute details.

WSOTP: Now for Hire!
Pursuing a creative line work is kind of scary. First, you must conquer the uneasiness that accompanies putting something you’ve created out there for the world to judge. Next, you have to scrounge up enough self-confidence to believe that not only are your talents worthy of being shared with the world but that your creations […]
Talking FCC with Lower League America
The rapid rise of FC Cincinnati — taking to the pitch for the first time in 2016, record-smashing attendances, a first-place team chasing a title in just their third season, and securing the fastest-ever lower league club promotion to Major League Soccer — has prompted many questions. On the latest episode Lower League America on Compass […]
#Pondcast: Your Deadline Day Sky Sports Alternative
This past weekend’s round of Premier League action produced happiness in the Northwest of England and disappointment in North London, and the guys focused in on both on this week’s #Pondcast. Time was also devoted to the fast approaching European transfer window deadline, and we put on our best Sky Sports correspondent hats and tried […]
#Pondcast: What goes up must come down
The 2017/18 Premier League got off to a cracking start this past weekend — well, at least for some clubs. On this week’s show, we feast on the action that unfolded across the pond by looking at who got off to a good start, as well as who didn’t. The guys then moved on to […]
join our 2016 MLS fantasy league
Admittedly, releasing the news that we will have a 2016 MLS Fantasy league just two days before the actual league season kicks off is a bit foolish. It should have gone up days ago, if not weeks. But that’s the reality we have to live with now. Luckily for those of you who stumble across this space […]
ten words or less #116
See, the blog isn’t dead yet! Though I’m guessing the less than 100 words below linking to content that isn’t my own probably isn’t the thing I should hang my “the blog isn’t dead yet” hat on. If nothing else, it’s something for you to chew on to end your weekend/get your week started. Too, I’ll […]
musical chairs
If someone asks one to think of soccer, most people will envision the actual acts of players running about a field and kicking around of a ball. Some, too, might envisage the electric atmospheres that supporters often bring to games. But I’d wager few immediately visualize the managers standing on the touchlines when you ask them to think about the […]
NLD, FIFA16 and me (and hopefully you too)
It’s been a hot minute since WSOTP has hosted an actual live event. We’ve not yet held a watch party this Premier League season, and our last live podcast recording was way back before the Women’s World Cup final. Hell, we’ve barely even had a chance to watch a match outside of the friendly confines of WSOTP World […]
why does this even need explaining?
When it comes to American soccer, outside of World Cups, there’s nothing that quite captures the attention of the American public like USA-Mexico games. I won’t get into the main talking points you usually hear tossed about for ahead of the game; everyone is else writing about that, so there’s plenty for you to read there. But there […]
