Welcome in ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, to RFK Refugees Podcast.
Ted and Jon talk about a 1-0 victory over CF Montreal in a well-organized performance. The team made a tactical shift to a 3-5-2 formation, which flummoxed Montreal and allowed DC to dominate possession and chances. The frustration settled in for DC in the second half, but they remained in control and ultimately secured the win. Pedro Santos had a notable impact offensively and defensively, and Connor Antley impressed as a surprise performer. The team’s roster construction and dead cap space continue to be challenges, but they are exceeding expectations in their rebuilding year. The conversation covers the Washington Spirit’s recent game against the Utah Royals, including analysis of the lineup, player performances, and key moments of the match. The hosts discuss the team’s style of play and how it has evolved throughout the season. They also touch on the signing of Lacey Santos and the need for additional defensive reinforcements. The conversation concludes with a preview of the Spirit’s upcoming games and a reminder to check out their future content.
