A warm welcome back to the semi-regular Pic of the Week after a month’s absence on the blog. However, if the picture above makes you feel like you’ve accidentally stumbled into a Monty Python movie, worry not… this week’s picture is actually soccer related. The moose in the picture is actually a forlorn Swedish national team fan, […]

i want: 1994 stars by bumpy pitch
As I’ve said more times on this blog than I could even count, the 1994 World Cup here in the United States was a seminal moment in my life. Just 12 years old at the time, I completely immersed myself in the World Cup and the US national team in a way that I was […]

Despite not exactly being a household name in MLS, the San Jose Earthquakes’ retiring Ramiro Corrales (first row, second from right) received a memorable sendoff in his last ever match as a professional footballer. With the Quakes all but eliminated from playoff contention ahead of their season-capping match against FC Dallas, the defender was handed […]

Often times, picking a “Pic of the Week” is a snap: one ridiculous picture will go viral in the previous week, making it the obvious choice. But occasionally, there are several pictures that I’d be more than happy to see take the prize. Such was the case this week, as I nearly went with a […]
i want: football type
Though my love for football is pretty much a given, most anyone who’s come around these parts at least a few times has probably also caught wind of my love for design. From crest redesigns to new kit nuances, or fan art to my obsession with the “brand” that WSOTP has developed into, I’ve written […]
pic of the week 9/9 – 9/15
Based on the above “Pic of the Week”, I could forgive you for wondering if WSOTP is considering a switch in subject matter to blogging about military techniques, paintball or homeless veterans living in the forest. Rest assured, it’s not. In fact, this week’s selection is very much a soccer picture, even if it doesn’t […]
pic of the week 8/19-8/25
I have little doubt that there are at least a few of you wondering what it is about the picture above — depicting what appears to be a normal pre-match handshake — so special that I would choose to make it my “Pic of the Week.” And assuming you don’t follow the Football League Championship, it’s […]
i want: 3nil classic crew neck
With fall’s cooler temperatures fast approaching, I’m doing what any normal guy would be doing… thinking about ways of stylishly revamping his fall wardrobe. Wait: that’s not what normal guys do? Well they should be, and that’s what I’m doing. And what better way to get a start on that wardrobe upgrade than with football lifestyle brand 3nil‘s […]

When you are The Zlatan, you do what you want, anywhere you want. He’s pretty well proven that with his willingness to kick teammates all around Europe. And if The Zlatan wants to prance about in a “mankini” after a 0-1 preseason friendly loss against Real Madrid in his native Sweden, then you better believe […]

Fret not dear readers… after a fortnight off, the “Pic of the Week” has returned. And with players returning from their ever-shorter summer breaks, most clubs are now focusing on getting their hype machines up and running ahead of the new season. You can see this first hand in the spike in social media presence, […]
