WSOTP pod: season 2 episode 18
With the 2014 MLS season now in the rearview mirror, we could forgive you if you thought this week’s Pondcast would be on the light side. It’s not. An interesting weekend of Premier League fixtures kept D.J. and Jeremy extra busy, as did the conclusion of the Champions League group stages and an already hectic MLS […]
WSOTP pod: season 2 episode 17
With two entire rounds of Premier League matches, the Women’s World Cup Draw, MLS Cup Final, Champions League group scenarios and the release of the MLS Expansion Draft list all to cover on this week’s Pondcast — plus our normal weekly segments of Fulham Watch and Winners & Wankers — you might be worried that this could be a two-hour podcast. Luckily, […]

Have you fully recovered from the World Cup yet? With the weekend marking the return of the Premier League, you better be. Though I’ve not really had much of a break this summer thanks to the World Cup and MLS and working the TV broadcasts for the Cincinnati Saints, I’m surprisingly still amped up for […]

That said of them, none of them have anything to do with veterans themselves. Anyway, many thanks from WSOTP to all of the veterans and current members of the armed forces […]

Resurrected from the ashes of the failed WPS and WUSA through a jointly subsidized venture by the USSF, the Canadian Soccer Association and the Mexican Football Federation, the new eight team […]

From this American fan’s perspective, the long holiday weekend that’s just passed us by was quite a good one. Saturday’s fixtures were chock full of goals, averaging just over three and half per match. Then on #EpicSunday2 (© Fox Soccer Channel) with an entertaining Gunners loss to Chelsea and a gutsy, come-from-behind draw for Spurs […]

Thus far, 2013 has been a whirlwind. As with most years, there’s been the expected absurdity that accompanies the holiday season to keep me busy: the annual cornucopia of fixtures, plus the ensuing avalanche of (faux-)headlines that is the January transfer window. But, unlike previous years, things have been especially crazy around the imaginary WSOTP […]

Though I’m admittedly still on a bit of an adrenaline high just over two hours after the United States’ “historic” win in the Azteca — I won’t elaborate further on it, as tonight’s win has spawned another full-length post where I’ll delve into the topic in greater detail. But it still feels good to beat […]
