  • It’s the only podcast coverage for DCU

    It’s an okay show, a lot of bad takes and mediocre analysis. It’s just buddies talking about a team they may or may not like (hard to tell which). I don’t know why they cover the team when it seems like they don’t want to and now they want people to pay lol.

  • 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!

Is There Another Doctor In The House?

DC United hired Dr. Orbey Unsoy as head of recruitment, previously at Samsung Spore and credited with leading them to success.
Somehow, RFK Refugees Returned

It's possible that Peltel does not want to return due to his current dissatisfaction with where the team is headed.
Somehow, RFK Refugees Returned
Q: What players would you keep for next season?
Jacob mentions Baraz, Schnegg, Herrera, Peglo, and a few others, while expressing the sentiment that he wouldn't mind if they got rid of most players due to their performances.
Drawing Up a Game Plan
Q: Do you think it was warranted eight yellow cards for the referee quick with the cards?
DC is playing a pressing style, and when you play physical, you're going to commit more fouls.
Drawing Up a Game Plan
Q: Given the small sample size record, undefeated, but three draws against subpar teams, what are your current odds for DC making the playoffs?
I would say 35%.
