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 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 […]
#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: post-mexico meltdown mode
Though we considered abstaining from joining the cacophony of voices out there screaming about the need to burn down the US Men’s National Team’s house and condemn the players and coaches… the allure of joining the chorus was ultimately too strong to resist. As such, D.J. and Jeremy offer up their reactions to the CONCACAF Cup […]
WSOTP pod: this is not a dos a cero
This past weekend had it all: an Arsenal-United smackdown, a five-goal masterclass from Sergio Agüero, yet another Chelsea trip up, one manager quitting despite a positive result, and another manager losing his job after a somewhat positive result. Oh yeah, and there was USA-Mexico roster release that’s inspiring loads of questions of yet another manager, and […]
WSOTP pod: season 2 episode 35
“Yeah, yeah, yeah… there’s a lot of soccer to talk about this week, we’ve heard you say that on the Podcast around a million times.” Well, pardon us, but you’re going to hear it again. And really, it might be the most soccer we’ve ever tried to fit into one recording. We’ve got Premier League races, […]
pic of the week 4/13-4/19
I don’t know what it is about North American soccer, but for the most part, we seem to really struggle with the field of play. The most common complaint levied against American/Canadian pitches is our over-reliance on synthetic, “turf” surfaces that are tough on players muscles and joints. They’re often lined for other sports, reinforcing the stereo type that the […]
WSOTP pod: season 2 episode 34
We’ve nearly reached squeaky-bum time in the Premier League season, and as such, most of the latest #Pondcast focuses in on the increasingly interesting races at the top and bottom of the English top flight. Who will go down? Who will go to Europe? And how will Spurs let D.J. down next? We certainly tackled all those questions, […]
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 […]
