It’s been a rough year for US Men’s National Team. On and off the pitch. First came the culmination of a disastrous World Cup qualifying campaign in October 2017, which forced the Americans to sit out the festivities in Russia last summer. That failed pursuit would claim not only the job of Jürgen Klinsmann but also […]

#Pondcast: We’re Changing the World
Here at Wrong Side of the Pond, we’ve been known to take the international breaks off. That’s almost always the case during breaks without any meaningful matches for the US Men’s National Team, which was very much the case this time around, too. But this was no normal international break. First, the USMNT’s failure to qualify […]
#Pondcast: Into the Wilds of Europe
The UEFA Champions League group stage kicked off last week, wildly some might even say. Liverpool triumphed in a goalfest with Jordan Saint-Germain, Spurs and the Cityzens lodged disappointing losses to former giants, and Manchester United found victory on the pitch while still taking L’s in their locker room. Then in American matters, there are […]
#Pondcast: A Title to Lose
If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to listen to a #Pondcast where hosts D.J. and Jeremy did almost zero prep work and recorded after an afternoon of day drinking at a hot soccer match, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for! And on this week’s poorly prepared podcast, the guys haphazardly hand Liverpool […]
#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: Sacrebleu
The wait for the final episode of season five of the Wrong Side of the Pond podcast is finally over, as D.J. and Jeremy offer up the last of their five World Cup specials following France’s triumphant march on Moscow. Listen in as the guys review not only their favorite moments of the tournament, but also review […]
#Pondcast: Who’s In, Who’s Out
Just two days after our first (belated) World Cup special episode dropped, D.J. and Jeremy are back with the second edition! And on this week’s show, the guys recapped who is in and out following the first two rounds of group action in Russia, revealed their picks for the “breakout stars” of the tournament so […]
#Pondcast: Let’s Start Our Own Country
Of course, we covered the weekend’s Premier League action on this week’s show, including a marquee North London Derby much to DJ’s liking. City’s big win? Yup, that too. Chelsea getting back on track? Nope, we recorded on Sunday night — but the rest of Matchday 27’s action is in here. But the meat of this […]
#Pondcast: They Are Not Highlanders
City have fallen, despite most of us thinking they were more than mere mortals. The near-paradigm-shifting result in the Liverpool-Manchester City match was definitely the focus of the latest episode of the #Pondcast, there was plenty more to discuss too. Topics like “are Arsenal and Chelsea imploding” and “can Harry Kane score 1000 goals in a […]
#Pondcast: Because America Needed Another Presidential Election
Though it had only been a few days since we last recorded, D.J. and Jeremy jumped back in the booth this past weekend to record a very much needed second #Pondcast episode of the new year. There was an exciting round of FA Cup magic to review, as well as some of the lingering matches […]
