    DC United secured a 2-1 victory over the Seattle Sounders, with Jacob Murrell impressing as a potential secondary scorer. The game was marked by a not-at-all controversial red card decision that led to a penalty kick for DC United. The lack of depth and secondary scoring options remains a concern, and the team may need to consider acquiring a player in that position. TKDP's injury history raises questions about his long-term role in the team. The Washington Spirit had a disappointing loss to Orlando, but they have shown potential in previous games. Defensive depth is a concern for the Spirit, and they need to improve their control in midfield. Trinity Rodman continues to be a key player for the Spirit, creating chances even in off games. Upcoming games against Chicago and Portland will be challenging, but winnable for the Spirit

    In McVey's Shadow

    In McVey's Shadow

    Welcome in ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, to RFK Refugees Podcast.
    Ted and Jon talk about: DC United gets a 1-1 draw against the Columbus Crew. DC United played well and frustrated Columbus throughout the game. The team's shift to a 4-3-3 formation has been effective, but there is still room for improvement in converting chances. Connor Antley continues to impress as a signing from the USL. Jackson Hopkins started over Matti Peltola, showing the team's depth and competition for positions. The red card to Cucho Hernandez was deserved and a result of Chris McVey's strong performance. Overall, DC United is in a good position and teams are starting to fear playing against them. In this conversation, Jon and Ted discuss the recent performance of DC United and their upcoming matches against Orlando, New York City, and Seattle. They also touch on the potential departure of Cucho Hernandez from Columbus and the team's expectations for the rest of the season. The conversation then shifts to the construction of DC United's new stadium and the challenges of playing in baseball stadiums. They also discuss the recent incidents of racism and violence in the MLS Next tournament. The conversation concludes with updates on the Washington Spirit, including the release of Riley Tanner and potential roster changes.

Le Big Fan (DMV) ,

The Only Podcast for D.C. United MLS Fans

D.C. United is NOT an easy team to be a fan of (the ups, the downs, the bizarre coaching hires), but the boys at RFK Refugees will help you laugh, cry, and explain everything the team throws at you. It’s a seriously thoughtful listen - they’ve got a great handle on roster rules, tactics, and the league’s history - without devolving into either blind “homerism” or negativity. Give them a spin!

Great Podcast

Always up to date, interesting, and entertaining discussion of DC United and the Washington Spirt. Great Analysis and conversation.

No green sauce please

Other than Jon’s weird culinary perversions, the show is the best source of the latest news and thoughts on DC United. I don’t always agree with their opinions but they always have good reasoning behind their thoughts. I suggest joining their patreon to support DC United news and their carnitas burrito habit. You will get extra shows and a sticker! Vamos United!
