A wild and chaotic weekend in the Premier League gave the guys ample room to debate on this week’s WSOTP Pondcast a number of intriguing questions. Was Palace’s upset of Chelsea enough to open the door for Spurs? Can City or Liverpool actually make up the points gap and make it more than a two horse […]

#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: Let’s Cram All the Leagues In
It’s that time of the year where there’s absolutely no shortage of soccer to digest, and this week’s #Pondcast is a reflection of that. No less than five competitions got some serious time in this week’s show, with the FA Cup, Premier League, UEFA Champions League, MLS and LigaMX all getting considerable time on air. The last of those warranted […]
#Pondcast: Let’s Get Domestic
The regular season domestic calendar opened up this past weekend here in the United States. And while the new MLS season always inspires excitement, this year, it seemed like a bigger deal than normal. That might have had something to do with two expansion teams kicking their first ball in the American/Canadian top flight, […]
#Pondcast: 2016’s Fireside Chats with WSOTP
Ahhhh… the Holidays. It’s the time of the year when families gather together, presents are exchanged, stress levels go through the roof, English soccer overindulges, and D.J. and Jeremy take a break from the #Pondcast. And normally, we make you suffer through the end of the calendar year without a new episode to help distract […]

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 […]
WSOTP pod: season 2 episode 31
Premier League recap? Yep. Champions League wrap? Uh huh. A look at domestic matters ranging from the US Open Cup field finally being set, Minnesota United’s impending announcement as the 23rd MLS club and the media frenzy swirling about one of the investors in the potential Miami franchise? Oh you better believe that’s in here, too. […]
go forth and multiply
Major League Soccer dropped a bomb of sorts yesterday afternoon. In a release on the official league website, it was confirmed that MLS has accepted a bid from current-NASL side Minnesota United FC to become the latest expansion side. While that in itself is great news — United are a far more attractive bid than their […]

Thanks to the festive season, I’m currently enjoying being in the middle 14 straight days off from work for my “real world job”. And as usual, I went into the break with wild expectations of how productive I would be on the blog. But thanks in large part to family activities and obligations and catching up […]
