It’s officially spring here in Ohio. That means the weather is currently wildly fluctuating between spells of winter and early summer, most of the country has turned its attention to basketball madness, and those of us in the world of soccer are left to be drowned by a tsunami of soccer. The English Premiership has reached the point […]

#Pondcast: This is Our Valentine to You
Even though this week’s #Pondcast is our Valentine’s Day gift to you, we don’t suggest trying to pass it off as a gift for your loved one: our wives didn’t find it a suitable gift, so your significant other probably won’t either. Probably anyway. But if they would find it a respectable gift, once unwrapped they’d find […]
WSOTP pod: we asked about ugo
In the world of soccer, there’s hardly a weekend that goes by where something seismic doesn’t rattle the internet. This weekend was no different. There were enormous results at the polar opposite ends of the Premier League. In Major League Soccer, the results weren’t necessarily earth shattering — but LA Galaxy’s Nigel De Jong provided […]
WSOTP pod: super soaker sunday
Not only did the 2016 MLS season kick off on over the weekend — on the so-called “Super Soaker Sunday” — but it kicked off with a 10-game bang. Not that there was room for domestic soccer’s return in the calendar, considering there were two full rounds of Premier League action, one of which included a highly […]
leicester, norwich and small town lad sentiments
EDITOR’S NOTE: This is a bit of landmark post for ‘Wrong Side of the Pond’, as it represents the first ever guest post on the site. With my role with FC Cincinnati siphoning off most my writing efforts, it presented the unique opportunity to not only continue offering new original content, but also select other writers a […]
WSOTP pod: shuffling the deck
The ax now fallen on Mourinho at Chelsea, we spend a sizable chunk of this week’s #Pondcast talking about the chain reaction of hirings and firings that we’ll possibly see around the upper echelons of European football that José’s firing will spark. A few of England’s other top clubs struggled this past weekend as well, and we were […]
jaded
When you’re forced to wait twenty years for something — say an MLS Cup in your home stadium featuring your home team — it’s understandable that the anticipation could build wild expectations. And if you fail to seize the moment after that long wait is ended, the collapse of those expectations can be absolutely soul crushing. […]
WSOTP pod: columbus is the center of the soccer universe
OMG! OMG!! OM f’ing G!!! I’m not sure if you can tell, but the fact that MLS Cup will be hosted less than 60 miles away from WSOTP World Headquarters has me just a tad excited. That my favorite MLS team is the one doing the hosting? Yeah, that has me even more excited. So as you might […]
NLD, FIFA16 and me (and hopefully you too)
It’s been a hot minute since WSOTP has hosted an actual live event. We’ve not yet held a watch party this Premier League season, and our last live podcast recording was way back before the Women’s World Cup final. Hell, we’ve barely even had a chance to watch a match outside of the friendly confines of WSOTP World […]
WSOTP x AO: just for tonight, let’s be lovers
This is a short excerpt from my first featured post for the American Outlaws — the largest and most well-known US soccer supporters group — and their newly launched blog, ‘Voice of the American Outlaws’. After applying in December of last year, I found out in May that I was one of nine lucky entrants to be […]
