    Welcome in ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, to RFK Refugees Podcast.

Benteke and DC dominated Atlanta United, and the Spirit saw at a tough 2-1 win against Louisville. They review how Troy displayed a masterclass in tactics and what it means for the team going forward. They also discuss how an uglier win can also do big things for the Spirit.

    Something About Murrell

    Something About Murrell

    DC United played a draw against Philadelphia Union, with goals from Christian Dájome and Jacob Murrell. The team showed versatility in their formations and had some standout performances from players like Aaron Herrera. The game had its ups and downs, with DC United taking an early lead but conceding a goal before halftime. Overall, the team is performing as expected and is in a good position in the middle of the table. Looking ahead, they have a tough schedule with games against Atlanta, Red Bulls, Inter Miami, Chicago, Montreal, and Toronto.
    . Moving on to the Washington Spirit, they review the team's recent matches against the Red Stars and the Thorns. They highlight Trinity Rodman's performance and discuss the team's struggles in conceding early goals.

    Benteke Heads it Home

    Benteke Heads it Home

    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

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!
