    In McVey's Shadow - RFK Refugees Podcast

    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.

Glad to have a podcast for my team

Is it odd to say I found out about this podcast because of a sticker in a bathroom at Audi Field? :-D Regardless, this is now one of my main “go-to’s” for both DC United and MLS. The guys are knowledgeable and they sound good (I hate fan podcasts that have good info but sound terrible). Thanks for doing the show!
