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 […]

#Pondcast summer special: the donald trump of american soccer
Well, it took just a month for us to get the itch to get back together and record yet another #Pondcast. Which is good, because we literally had people asking about when the next one would drop. Never mind that there are two major international tournaments going on with the Euros and Copa Centenario, or […]
WSOTP pod: how many concussion symptoms am i showing?
Though international breaks normally provide less action for us to orate about on our weekly #Pondcast, this last week of “break” was anything but. Off the pitch — but not by much — the guys touch on how the atrocity in Paris will have an impact on the professional game. Too, we also welcomed back FanDuel managing editor and […]
i want: hurley phantom national team boardshorts
With summer fast approaching, many here in the US are turning their thoughts to warmer summer activities: going to the beach, heading to the pool, or catching some waves. But for those of us who are a bit soccer obsessed, the imminent World Cup in Brazil will force us to put many of our summer […]
WSOTP pod: episode 15
WSOTP Pod: Season 1 Episode 15 It was a dark weekend for D.J. given the battering Tottenham received at the hands of Manchester City on Sunday. And with Episode 15 recorded a mere 12 hours after the final, merciful whistle, you’ll be treated to his raw emotional response to the blow to both his confidence […]
world cup XX by the numbers
As the final whistle blew in Montivideo last week, a 0-0 scoreline between Uruguay and Jordan was enough to see the South American champions ease past the visitors to become the thirty-second and final nation to qualify for World Cup 2014 in Brazil. The 20th edition of the tournament, Brazil 2014 will be the first […]
WSOTP pod: episode 14
WSOTP Pod: Season 1 Episode 14 With the international break keeping things fairly dull over the last week, and no Premier League matches to review, you might think Jeremy and D.J. would have nothing to talk about on this week’s episode of the WSOTP Pod. But if that’s the case, then you don’t know us very […]
bold predictions: euro 2012
It’s time for another major tournament, and with Euro 2012 kicking off in both Poland and Ukraine this afternoon, we bloggers are pretty much obliged to compile lists of predictions about what will transpire over the next month. Thousands of predictions have rained down from the blogosphere over the last two weeks, most of which […]
ten words or less #48
With less than 30 minutes until kickoff between Spurs and United, I’m a literal train wreck. I’m stressing over Tottenham’s extremely weakened line-up squaring off against a solid looking starting XI for the Red Devils, and the potential repercussions of fielding such a weak squad in such an important match. The only thing that could keep […]
cantona: the people’s champion?
Eric Cantona’s recent announcement that he would be running in next year’s French presidential elections didn’t even cause me to raise an eyebrow in Ancelotti-esque fashion. When it was stated just a day later that his announcement was nothing more than a ruse to get actual candidates to pay attention to his push for better housing […]
