Though in year’s past we’ve been known to skip over FA Cup weekends and give ourselves a little #Pondcast break, that’s not the case in 2017. That’s especially true when two teams that guys support square up against one another in the tournament, as was the case when D.J.’s Spurs hosted Jeremy’s minnows in Wycombe Wanderers. […]

With no guest joining the guys for the first time in several weeks, that left ample room in this week’s #Pondcast for the D.J. and Jeremy to really get into the meat of the weekend Premier League action. And with storylines a plenty from the likes of Leicester-City, United-Spurs and the rest of the English action, […]

Despite D.J. having the busiest 48 hours ever, the guys still managed to squeeze into the booth last night to deliver your normal weekly dose of #Pondcast.

Like most US soccer fans, I can still feel the sting of yesterday’s 2-1 knockout round loss to Belgium. Despite clearly being the inferior side in a technical sense, the match was there for the taking. Tim Howard’s incredible performance in goal and a clever tactical plan laid out by coach Jurgen Klinsmann made that possible. Though when I […]

Without a doubt, this has been one of the best World Cups I’ve ever had the privilege to witness, and this is my seventh. Goals galore. Drama out the wazoo. Zero draws. It’s the kind of action that doesn’t leave the soccer haters much room for bitching, and I’m smiling ear to ear because of […]

Not only has it been over seven months since the US qualified for the World Cup on yet another fateful night in Columbus, Ohio, but it’s also been about that long since I made my initial World Cup squad predictions shortly after. And with US Soccer revealing the 23-man squad that’s going to Brazil last night, […]

Most January transfer windows our eyes are glued to Europe, waiting for one of Europe’s uber-elite to overpay for the luxury of stripping away another side’s best player in the middle of the season. But it would be a cold day in hell when an MLS side is the one making the biggest waves in […]

Even though we’ve exited the hectic Christmas/New Year’s schedule that normally bombards us with more soccer than we can stomach, the last few days have been ridiculously busy in the world of the beautiful game. Of course we still had a normal round of weekend fixtures around Europe to deal with. The opening of the […]
