Sounders Pow Wow

And then there was one. The Seattle Sounders FC that is. A rocking good time was had at The T way back in November and the Pow Wow has finally gotten over their collective hangover enough to share their thoughts about the 2019 season, the MLS Cup and other things relevant and not. Plus, we reveal if there will be more episodes in 2020.

Here there be questions, predictions and discussions of all things MLS Cup. That's right. Just when you thought it was safe to ignore Dingly Dong Coffee...

Playing for the MLS Cup in Seattle is more than a little exciting to the Pow Wow. So much so, we are looking for a hazmat suit. Seriously. The first part of a two part episode, so packed full of thoughts and gunk, it all simply couldn't be contained in an easily consumable morsel.

Eleven seasons in the league and eleven playoff appearances. Say what you will about how we got here, but we got here. Troy and Jonathon have a few things to say on the subject, along with predictions and plenty of questions answered.

It all comes down to the last week in Major League Soccer. Where will the Seattle Sounders FC find themselves at the end of Decision Day? Where will our listeners find themselves at the end of the season and who will be bringing home big prizes from winning the silly contest the Pow Wow started so many months ago? And who will be the newest player in Rave Green?

Not a bad set of results from the past four matches. Still in second place in the Western Conference but still... Looking at the upcoming match in our nation's capitol and seeing what kind of genetic mutants we'd create to raise the Rave Green flag.

Oh, the rant you will hear. Plenty of topics cross the path of the Pow Wow this week and there is ample discussion all the way around. Did the win in Portland give the Sounders the boost they need to finish the season strong? Will Zlatan break hearts at the T on Sunday?

And again with the unimpressive result at home against a team lower in the table. What gives? Plus, we have three away matches in a row??? Really, what gives? And what do we think about it?

Another home loss is nothing to get worried about, right? Another transfer window with less than monstrous name signings is nothing to be concerned about, right? Anther match facing off against a coach who regularly takes the Sounders to school is nothing to be nervous about, right?

Sure we beat Atlanta, but that was certainly tempered by the loss at home to Portland last weekend. Much to say about that match and a few words concerning the upcoming melt down in Houston. Plus, Jonathon complains about Major League Soccer scheduling and Troy gets scared.

Picked up three points on the road, so it wasn't all bad. But there was that little blip in New York and what the Pow Wow thought about it. And an interesting matchup against last year's champs, at the T. Plus a question and Katy sings.

With the extended road trip in the rear view mirror, the Sounders can look ahead to a match against Cascadia rival Vancouver in front of a large home crowd at The T. The Pow Wow looks ahead at our expectations of the upcoming match, plus news of two of the hosts vacationing, the relevance of the US Open Cup and why it is sunflowers have such delicious seeds.

Our trip to Kansas City...marred by Johnny being Johnny and our defense being helpful to his cause. An upcoming road trip to Frisco and Montreal and playing Portland in Tacoma. All without many players available. What does the future hold? We speculate wildly. And talk of restaurants.

Although it has been far too long since last we released an episode, we have braved the long night (and travels and sickness) and return bigger than ever (just ask Jonathon's waist). A fond farewell to Dad Marshall, a short discussion of the upcoming match, questions answered, fantasy league lamented and stories about other things as well.

While there have been plenty of happenings in the world of the Sounders, the Pow Wow is barely able to discuss it. Shocking revelation, certainly. Plenty of answers to many questions and a prediction or three.

If you want to watch something dull and often painful, take a gander at last week's snoozer against the Whitecaps. Thankfully the boys in Rave Green are coming home to entertain and delight the masses. Plus, there are questions for us (and you).

Ah, the joys that appear with a solid start to the season. It's almost enough to make the Pow Wow giddy. Almost. Plenty of answers to plenty of your questions and a little story you may want to send the children out of the room before.

A brief and late show, poorly recorded (and equally as poorly informed). But something is better than nothing. Unless the something is crap, then you might rather have no crap.

And we're off (in more ways than one). A quick discussion of the pre-season is followed by predictions for the Sounders FC home opener. Plenty of questions answered, a reminder to get your final standings in for our contest (with FREE stuff) and a couple other things meant to entertain.

A quick show after a few notable events in the Soundersphere. Plus, we are having a contest this upcoming season. Listen and find out more details.
