We have to admit: it’s been a pretty enjoyable little week here in #Pondcast-land. With Jeremy’s Chelsea and DJ’s Spurs looking the class of the Premier League and World Cup 2026 seemingly heading our direction, there’s plenty to be happy about and talk about. On this week’s show, the guys debate the likelihood of someone aside from Chelsea […]

#Pondcast: How Bruce Gave Us Our Groove Back
As we’ve harped on before, coming up with content on international weeks is hard. Okay, on week’s like this one, it isn’t that hard. What with the US Men’s National Team demolishing Honduras after having their German shackles removed and Christian Pulisic being ordained the official second coming. But with minimal MLS to report on, and no Premier […]
#Pondcast: Dos a Uno
International break be damned, there was still plenty that transpired over the last week to warrant a new episode of the #Pondcast this week. As such, Jeremy and D.J. tackled a smaller set of subjects this week with a heavy focus on last Friday’s USA-Mexico match in nearby Columbus. How was the post-election atmosphere? What was up […]
#Pondcast: have a fourburger
Episode six of season four was a fun one to record, with conversation from nearly all four corners of the globe working their way into this week’s program. There was the standard Premier League dalliances, including Chelsea’s let down, Spurs’ rise and a lovely little Manchester Derby. Over on mainland Europe, there was our yearly […]
WSOTP pod: boxing day and a little bit more
We know this latest #Pondcast is coming to you a little later in the week than normal Tuesday drop day. But we figured it was totally worth waiting if it meant we could cram in both full rounds of action that took place on Boxing Day and the last few days. As such you get our takes […]
WSOTP pod: joy and sadness in ohio
It’s been a busy week for professional soccer in Ohio. Most of it was great, but some of it was not so much. In Dayton, a new team revealed their identity. In Cincinnati, another team announced their first class of players. And in Columbus, the biggest game on the domestic soccer calendar was staged — unfortunately, the […]
ten words or less #114
The words have again slowed to a trickle here at WSOTP recently, and as I usually do, I’m plugging the hole with another links round up. It’s not that there isn’t plenty to write about — I have a really long list of items that I’d like to get to — I just haven’t had […]
fallout
It’s fun watching a car wreck, isn’t it? We’re given physical evidence of this every time there’s one on the highway, as a long line or rubberneckers slows as they approach the scene of the accident. Craning our necks even as we’ve passed in an attempt to take it all in, we take some morbid satisfaction having captured […]
ten words or less #110
Well, it’s fair to say a bombshell was dropped on world soccer yesterday. I’d hoped to get out a full-length piece on it last night or today, but the rapid developments with regards to the FIFA corruption scandal has made it difficult to stay on top of and write accurately. So I’m giving it another […]
south america heading north
I don’t often like to talk about my rather lengthy soccer bucket list. The reason for that is that — barring a sudden explosion in popularity of WSOTP, a major network picking me up as a pundit or me hitting lottery — being able to check off most of the items on the list is not really […]
