I’m a sucker for soccer content on the big and small screen. Be it Rodney Dangerfield’s admittedly terrible Ladybugs, introspective documentaries like Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait, or modern behind-the-scenes smash hits like Amazon’s All or Nothing series, film has given us so many interesting ways to ponder the infinite aspects of the beautiful game.

#Pondcast: We’ll get it right this year
The soccer podcast that nobody asked to come back is back. For an eleventh season. This is surely the year we’ll perfect our craft. And as we have for the last ten years, hosts D.J.

#Pondcast: Camilla’s long game
Two shows in two weeks? What a treat! D.J. and Jeremy delved into the impending end of the Premier League season, opining on the impact that Liverpool and Newcastle will have at both ends of the table and reveling in the lack of expectations for our own teams for the rest of the campaign. MLS […]
#Pondcast: A big Sammie
A Friday morning gift for your soccer-deprived ears! D.J. and Jeremy returned to the booth this week (with functional mics) and were given a soccer gift of their own: Big Sam’s return to Premier League touchlines.

#Pondcast: The return of the king
No, your ears are not deceiving you: that is the voice of one Jeremy David Lance on this week’s #Pondcast.

Chelsea find themselves in a sorry […]

The impending return of domestic soccer, as Major League Soccer’s 2023 season kicks off this weekend. And for the tenth straight season, the guys gathered to make their predictions for the season — who will be […]
#Pondcast: Justice for Jesse
D.J. and Jeremy were back in the digital studio this week for a fresh slate of soccer discussion. So what’s on the docket? We kicked things off with a look at the tantalizing top-of-the-table clash between Arsenal and Manchester City, and the ramifications of the result coupled with the City being placed back under the […]
#Pondcast: Todd Boehly breaks the transfer market
It’s been a bit of a bi-weekly affair of late here at the WSOTP Studios, and this week was one where D.J. and Jeremy actually found time in their lives to record and edit a show. And the timing couldn’t have been better with the conclusion of the January transfer window and Boehly gone wild […]
#Pondcast: Derbies galore
Hey look, we still have a podcast! After an extended absence due to the end of the World Cup, the holidays, a technical glitch on the site, and the FA Cup, D.J. and Jeremy finally convened in person to dish on all the happenings with the Premier League, USMNT, and beyond. On the docket: Manchester […]
