Hopefully this episode finds you and yours in good health and enjoying a righteous holiday season.

It was almost a non-song for Landon but then we were all blessed by the douche that is Robbie Keane.

The Pow Wow looks at who we all will be protecting in the upcoming Expansion Draft and the results probably won't surprise you.

Well, that sucked. Troy and Jonathon get together to grouse about the let down at The T last night.

Also, please email us with your 11 picks (plus one) of who YOU would protect in the upcoming Expansion Draft, as well as who you expect to be selected for next week's show.

That certainly could have gone better at the StubHub for the Sounders, but for the most part the Pow Wow is confident heading into the second leg this coming Sunday.

Not much else to discuss except for a hidden bit at the end of the show.

The Pow Wow managed to get together (even with the mandatory International Break upon us) and spew forth an episode.

Covering not only the lackluster draw which moved the Sounders through to the WCF, but also ahead to the clash at StubHub.

And there's some talk of twitter...

Our sincere apologies for missing last week, but Troy has a great story to tell as to why he wasn't available.

Way to go boys on the first of many Supporter's Shields, now off to the treble!

One down, one to go. In a surprising move for the boys in Rave Green (or Pitch Black,   as the case may be), a come from behind draw, a second yellow for Omar Gonzalez and redemption for Lamar Neagle after incurring Jonathon's ire.

And what will it say about the Sounders and how they play this next weekend in front of a packed house at The T?

That was not the most pleasant of finishes to this year's Cascadia Cup, particularly if you aren't a Whitecaps fan. But seeing as the offense for the Sounders can find a way to fizzle at the most inopportune moments, what does this mean for the series against the Galaxy.

The Pow Wow has some ideas.

There's a little giddy in the Pow Wowasphere and plenty of trepidation over a couple of upcoming matches.

But looking to the Friday night match-up, which will deliver the Cascadia Cup, we have reason to smirk. Not outright smile, but smirk.

And that's before the alcohol starts taking hold...

Thankfully Jonathon doesn't spend the entire show trying to prove how much of a d***h**d he is (only the vast majority). 

The Pow Wow looks back at the two games which were, the one match on the immediate horizon and get lost discussing the Supporter's Shield chances of the boys in Rave Green.
