This past Friday, the US Men’s National Team played a historic match on Cuban soil. It was the first friendly we’ve played in Cuba since the Cold War, and WSOTP had a “spy” in the stands. WVXU/WMUB’s Tana Weingartner (@TanaWeingartner) makes her latest appearance on this week’s #Pondcast to provide her first hand account of her […]

#Pondcast: why yes those are steel drums
International breaks are tough, what with the dearth of matches in the Premier League giving way to a smattering of appealing World Cup qualifiers and litany of uninteresting friendlies substituted in their place. But just because the Premier League was on break, that doesn’t mean the #Pondcast team was, too. Jeremy and D.J. used the pause in (European) […]
#Pondcast summer special 3: cincinnati soccer media roundtable
We’ve been talking about recording a podcast live at our favorite neighborhood soccer pub — friends and soccer evangelists, Rhinehaus, in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine district — for just about as long as the #Pondcast has been around. And just as the stars finally aligned to make it a reality with a really cool cast of guests too… we […]

pic of the week 6/22-6/28
I know I’ve been a bit negligent around these parts lately. And for those of you who have been asking for additional Women’s World Cup coverage, I hear you too. Summer time is busy, what with a seemingly a game kicking off every 30 minutes over the last two weeks between Canada 2015, the Copa América […]
ten words or less #100
One hundred is a really big number, and it’s honestly a little mind-boggling that I’ve now written that many of these link round ups. They’re easily the laziest updates I post to WSOTP. They’re nothing more than the fruits of me gleaning the internet for content that’s not my own in order to pacify you until I have […]
appropriate reflections

There are also players who are considered great for being long-timer servants of their club. And still others can be given such status for a memorable moment of greatness and glory. But […]

new shirt alert: brazil, england and germany added to the “going to brazil” line
Without a doubt, the first design in the WSOTP Shop’s Going to Brazil line of shirts — a US Men’s National Team homage featuring every player that’s made an appearance during this World Cup cycle in the shape of the United States — has easily proven to be the most popular shirt I’ve put out so far. In fact, one […]
