Sounders Pow Wow

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.
