Sounders Pow Wow

And here we are, looking the Club World Cup square in the face. And trembling like a jackhammer being held by a puppy. After the week that was, can anyone, seriously, believe there is a point to be had for the Seattle Sounders during this upcoming tournament? Or has it all been a ploy to lull the competition into a false sense of security and the Sounders will be the Cinderella story of the summer?

The wagers are coming fastly and furiously in this episode. Plenty of unsubstantiated talk of the Sounders opponents and opinions...we got plenty. Who's gonna be right? Who's gonna be wrong? And who needs to shut their face? Yeah, pretty much Jonathon for all of the above.

There is every reason to believe the Pow Wow will incorporate new segments into our program, however, y'all will be spared this episode. That's not to say there aren't brand spanking new things coming your way. We discuss Timbers, Meese and dogs. What else do you need?

We have reached the point where the must, in fact, be a direct correlation between Jonathon's MLS Fantasy Team selections and how teams in MLS perform. Don't believe it's true? Ask Jonathon. Two road games on deck and plenty of tactical items to discuss. As if.

Jonathon's head is ever expanding (and pretty damn annoying, if we're being honest). There is talk of shiny new toys and maroon dress. And predictions! Join us, won't you?

Plenty to talk about and quite a few questions in this episode. And if that's not enough for you, stick around for a blooper or two AND to find the secret password for the next show.

What's better than two wins, in a row? That's right, going the remainder of league play without a loss! Possible? Not only possible, but the only reality left. Find out all the details on this episode.

Muskrat Love found the back of the net and there was much rejoicing. The Sounders got three points and there was much rejoicing. Another injury to one of the starters and the rejoicing was silenced. Speaking of upcoming matches, why does the WSDOT hate the Pow Wow?

Looking up at the rest of the teams in the Western Conference and not particularly enjoying the view. Is this the bottom for the Seattle Sounders? Or will the misery continue another week? Or more? Plenty of questions this episode as well as some quality discussions as a result. Join us, won't you?

How is it that we should be expected to be okay with another draw? Are you thrilled by the product put in front of you? Have you seen this before? Looking at another upcoming road match against the new kids in the west and placing a wager on our new kid. All this and more.

And then there were NO goals? What the what? But there may be some relief on the way with suggestions concerning concessions. And pricing. And a new signing?

There are plenty of discussions to have on this episode and we chose to cover one of them. And we ask a question of our listener as to whether or not we should move forward with... Join us, won't you?

Oh what a weak it was. The tingling thrills of giving LAFC what for as the crushing disappoinment of revisiting a match at altitude. And the injuries. Gads. Now it's off to Saint's Lewis for a match against the Commanders? Questions and thoughts are all over the place.

Could this be the start of something fabulous? Or the beginning of another last year? Or, perhaps, another beastie altogether? Opinions, we got 'em. Answers, some of those too. And thoughts on the MLS Jersey flood? You betcha.

Certainly a home opener to remember or forget or simply shake your head and think, "Not again." But certainly congrats to Jordan Morris for doing everything he could to keep us from the draw. Questions, Katy's Time and plenty of reasons to be wary of ever listening again. Join the Pow Wow for some ear candy.

And off we go into the wild new season! Flying high from too much benadryl! Gathering up our momentum, Eventually starts the season minus a regular yet plus a new addition and there is excitement in the air (as well as several highly contagious beasties). Charlotte is on the horizon, Antigua is as well (and somehow in the rearview mirror) and there is a Fantasy League to be joined.

How do we feel about the 2024 season? Who are we protecting for the upcoming expansion draft? What does the team need heading into next year? And, of course, do we plan on putting together another show before the end of the year? All these questions and more are answered in today's epidode.

All sorts of things to discuss...oh, wait, no, there's just the one. The match on Saturday. What do we think? What would we like? Another match-up against Chivas and could there be a change in fortunes?

A win in the playoffs is a win, no matter how few shots you have on goal. Just ask the 2016 Sounders...and the 2024 Sounders. Lots of discussion and a noticable lack of questions means this hour is full of head scratchers and huh?

Is this what they mean by limping into the playoffs? Or is it what Portland did? Roster talk, playoff predictions, your questions and an invitation to challenge us in the expansion draft. What do you mean Vancouver can't beat LAFC?
