One of the things I love is that in another clip of them training the play in season 1, the ball is switched to Bumbercatch out wide who then plays the pass into Sam for him to score, which is the exact same thing that happened in the final episode of season 3.
anyone else caught the post goal celebration call back ? nate , coach beard , roy and ted all kept their eyes open until the ref blew the whistle , its a call back to what happened in the s1 when they thought they scored the goal they need to survive and city scored right after.
You know what else I just saw? Amazing editing. When the ball soars straight to the “camera” in the net, you hear a tinkle of glass as it breaks. No one is going to register that the first time the watch it, but it absolutely SELLS that goal. It was a solid kick that went all the way through to the back of the net- and you know that because the tinkle of glass tells you that the ball BROKE THE CAMERA. Now, did it actually break a camera? Maybe. Maybe it was just computer generated to look that way. Either way, the sound of glass would be added in editing. And they chose to do that to sell the shot. Everyone who worked on this show are masterful storytellers, and I love seeing more tidbits like that. 🔥🔥🔥
I think one of my favourite parts about Ted Lasso is with the trick plays, simply due to how hard it is to show the defense being proficient in an entertaining way. Watching Richmond on the attack is fun, and can show the audience why the strikers and middies are good; so to have a line about "The Upside-down Taxi", and for Roy to respond it's difficult without Cowburn helps illustrate his (Cowburn's) importance to the team without actually showing it. It also helps to illustrate to the audience that Roy is an excellent coach with a full understanding of all the Richmond players, benefitted from having played with all of them except Jan Maas. One line. The entire show is just a masterclass of good writing.
I can't with this show. We still got many possibilities in football. UCL, UEL, UECL, FA Cup, EFL Cup, transfers, individual awards, even the World Cup. I need more...
Another good parallel is the part when Ted complains about passing the ball to Jamie is all the plan adn right in season 3 when they get Zava, their whole plan bocomes bisically passing the ball to him
