It is more fleshed out than the commercials orignally but Ted Lasso is without a doubt one of the best shows of the decade so far. As someone who has never cared for the sport of Association Football, it still manages to be a breath of fresh air in a sea of cynicism.
Seconded, it’s phenomenal
My wife’s best friend growing up was Chris Richards. He’s got a contract to play for Bayern Munich but he’s currently on loan to TSG Hoffenheim. There are pockets of America with huge soccer fans and I’m so happy the game is finally growing over here the way it should
@2:20 I wouldn't say fully embraced it. The broadcast deal for the MLS is like 100mil the NFL is like 10billion per year lol. Also for comparison the smallest after MLS is the NHL at around 700mil
Ted Lasso is probably my favorite show. It’s really funny, but it’s got a lot of heart too. It’s really well done.
I didn't think I'd like it, but I LOVED Ted Lasso. Great show!
There is still an older generation in the US that craps on soccer. But the fan base for MLS and European leagues keeps growing. Fans in the US have more options than ever thanks to streaming.
OK - I admit it! I am a typical older American. I am fully aware that Soccer is the most popular sport in the World, but I cannot for the life of me fathom what the attraction is! Several years ago, when the US hosted the World Cup, I watched a portion of a game on TV. My impression of what was going on was that it's an ultra, ultra-slow-motion Hockey game on grass where the players were using their feet and foreheads rather than sticks, and body checking was not allowed. While it appeared to me that nothing of any consequence was happening, every once in a while, the crowd would go mad like a home run or touchdown had occurred. Wat up wit dat? And you didn't know how much time was actually left. Apparently some official knew but wasn't inclined to inform anyone. Yet we have had the technical ability for decades to determine such a thing as time expired down to the fraction of a second. I decided that my time would be far better utilized doing anything else, so i turned the TV off!
Hey, I’m 70 yo old and I’d rather watch soccer any old time than have to sit for a pro baseball game. B O R I N G!! Hockey is fun, though.
You just gotta watch more, honestly! 😊 Soccer, like any sport, will make more sense to you the more you watch
@@coyotelong4349 I confess - my comment was made somewhat "tongue in cheek". I realize that there is great skill involved. I'm impressed by the ball movement and spectacular goalie saves, but I can stand to watch only so much of the endless back and forth with so little accomplished. The field is so large that to me the game appears to be played in slow motion. I have actually enjoyed watching indoor soccer on TV - faster paced and MORE GOALS!
This, but unironically
You amaze me with your appreciation of American Football. You're obviously a close observer of the sport, and that makes your bringing this forward that much more fun.
It is very funny as a fish out of water show. Jason used to be on SNL. He just did a commercial where he says I work in England, live in NY and shooting a commercial in LA.
Thanks, Kabir! I had never seen this video, and I didn’t realize they started him out as Tottenham’s coach. That’s my brother’s favorite team, and he’s been to London several times just to see matches. He’s got the whole family on board. So, COYS! Peace from Ohio …
One thing that Lasso is correct about is that Americans don't like ties in any sport. We will go into triple, quadruple, or quintuple overtime-- or play until someone drops dead-- rather than having the game end in a tie.
The NFL had tie games until 1974, college football until 1996, and the NHL had regular-season ties until the 1984-84 season.
@@michaelmcgowen8780 And we also had drive-in movie theaters, eight track tapes and wore bell bottoms...lol.
Soccer in the US has always been big as a kid's sport. Once kids hit the teenage years, they tend to switch over to baseball, football, and basketball as a team sport.
Ted Lasso is such a good show too lol
Jesse Marsch is the American manager of Leeds United. Made 321 appearances for three clubs in MLS 1996-2009, and is one of the original players in MLS. Managed the Montreal Impact (2011-2012) and New York Red Bulls (2015-2018). Has also managed Red Bull Salzburg (AUT) and RB Leipzig (GER) before taking the helm at Leeds. Ted Lasso is such a stereotypical American football coach. I was recently "corrected" by someone for referring to soccer as football, saying, "But that's not football."
Americans think soccer is a wussy sport because all the flopping and diving. It is acceptable for girls to play the sport but not men. My HS girls soccer team had a pretty high turn out most games but the boys team only had parents show up most of the time. There was a long lasting joke football players would do, they would bump shoulders with a soccer player then role around grabbing their ankle pretending to be Neymar. Field fairy was a name they like to throw out as well. Don't get me wrong I loved playing volleyball, but I had volleyball players try to argue that their sport had more physical contact with other players when they literally have a net that divides each team, shit is insane. On the bright side Soccer has grown tremendously in the US in the past decade and I'm glad to see the game I love grow in my country.
So ready for next season of Ted Lasso! Loved, loved, loved that show!
The Liverpool comparison was good at the time, the Man-U comparison is still good 😂
I was just talking to my mom about this an hour ago! I'm a huge Spurs fan and was so stoked when NBC picked up the Prem.
(Edit: Oh, that reminds me! You should check out the New England Revolution/Real Salt Lake snow match from yesterday. The game was played in Boston, but here in the mountains of Salt Lake I've been to quite a few snow games. That's why I always say being a football fan in the States is awesome, because it's ALWAYS football season somewhere. Winter in Europe, spring, summer, and fall here.)
IN my state we call the kings foot ball ( SOCCER )
I need a ringtone of you saying “Hi Guys!”
The MLS is not huge in the USA. Some Americans have embraced football. It is popular amongst the people who like it and follow it.
He said that in another video also. I'm not sure why he thinks Americans have embraced soccer. I don't know anyone who watches it.
@@kevinbrown-ge6sz Don't know your American sports preferences. My #1 is MLB. I've read such b.s. recently how the MLS is about to overtake MLB in popularity. Since MLB is #2, the MLS would need to jump over the NHL and NBA first.
It's growing and there are more and more Americans who love football. Charlotte Football Club set an all time MLS attendance record at their inaguarual home match with almost 74,500 people. That's just one club.
@@maurapieper994 That was one game, and "extremely rare ".
So excited for you to react to Ted Lasso! I imagine accidentally starting in the middle would definitely be confusing.
I’d love to see the show and hear it! BTW, my 65 yo old brother played soccer/football as a kid in Pennsylvania.
I can’t wait to see your reaction to the show
I think you still may be over-estimating the popularity of soccer and the MLS in the US. It's growing, for sure...but I'd still say NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL are all considerably more popular professional sports leagues you'd certainly add NCAA (college) football and basketball on top of that as well. If you include NASCAR (auto racing) as a sport, then MLS probably ranks as the 6th most popular professional sports league in the US.
That being said, I think Ted Lasso is an incredible show and it's probably the best show out right now,
There's a follow up commercial too.
Definitely not fully embraced. Maybe the 6th most popular sport in America. We've got an MLS team in my state and most people don't even know it exists. It has come along way though.
I agree but then thought maybe he meant their leagues and not ours.
6th most popular?
Nah man, soccer these days is 5th most popular, if not 4th displacing hockey
@@coyotelong4349 you're right, it is 5th. Right behind Hockey.
In much of southern America his accent would actually be considered minor and not too strong of a country accent. I live in Texas and while most people don’t have too strong of an accent who are from the city, many outside do have a very strong accent to the point and which I have to really listen to understand what they are saying.
Great show, can’t wait for a new season. ⚽️⚽️⚽️
This series was written & conceived of by Kansas City's own Jason Sudeikis, & is based on an actual coach here in the KC area. KC of course has one of the best teams in the MSL, as well as the NFL. My sister-in-law says she went to school with Sudeikis, but she says lots of stuff. Like she's 2nd cousins with Christina Applegate. I'm not sure how much of her tales are true.
*By Chicago's own Jason Sudeikis! 😃
@@jeffburdick869 He is not from Chicago! He was born in Fairfax, VA, & raised in the Kansas City suburb of Overlan Park, KS. His parents were from Chicago.
@@TheCosmicGenius He built his career in Chicago.
Those shorts aren't short . At a time NBA players wore shorter shorts as Stockton , Magic & Bird did.
Rugby is what's growing in America. You should react to the MLR. It's called Major League Rugby but it's Union rules because we can't understand a professional sport unless it's in a league.
Major League Rugby? All due respect, but I don’t even think the vast majority of Americans have heard of that
It would be cool if Rugby could get big in America someday though!
Please, please, please react to the Ted Lasso series! You will love it!
The RSL vs New England Revolution game from yesterday was nuts
I just finished Season 1. I expected more of the same from the NBC commercial, but it was surprisingly heartfelt and not in a corny way. The character of Ted Lasso is definitely more layered than the happy-go-lucky clueless coach in the commercial
Certainly. They do such a good job with character development for all of the main characters.
Those shorts are what many American football coaches wear.
I've been in the same building as Jesse Marsch. Saw him, watched him speak, didn't actually meet him like I planned
I hear you emsolo. I didn't get it until I started to travel to Europe a lot. Three games every night. I love sports.
I loved the reaction. The second one is even funnier IMO.
Growing up, we thought soccer was for non-athletic and non-tough guys. Soccer is also almost completely ignored by African-Americans. Even with the growth of the MLS, it still is far behind the big 3 American sports.
They run the whole time. How do people think it’s not athletic. Meanwhile in American football, while athletic in its own way, they stop every few seconds.
@@brynneholt1990 Yes, a lot of them have runners endurance. That's where the athleticism ends for most of them.
@@areguapiri
Not really, dude. Have you seen the footwork players use on the ball?
There is absolutely a bias on the part of traditional, conservative American Sports fans against football. Diving dramatically at the vaguest hint of a foul is a favorite topic. Others include the low scoring volume, the forward counting clock, the "apparent secrecy" of time remaining, and the absence of a playoff tournament to determine league championships.
Those who don't get it, will probably never get it. That's OK. Amongst 18-30 year old sports fans, it is now the #2 favorite spectator sport in the us, behind American football.
I'm looking forward to the day when London is awarded an NFL franchise. The league has been laying the groundwork for that for years. I actually believe it will happen before the end of the decade... probably the Jaguars. It's an easy tie-in with an iconic British brand name.
Soccer is still FAR behind the big 3 American sports.
@@areguapiri
It's actually very close to 3RD overall, amongst ALL demographics, lagging only narrowly behind baseball. MLS are likely to surpass baseball, given current MLB labor struggles and the World Cup bump in 2026.
The English premiership has a 2 billion pound deal with an American broadcaster (NBC). MLS clubs are the fastest appreciating financial investments in global team sports. And amongst young American adults (men and women - ages 18-30), soccer/world football is the second most popular sport, narrowly ahead of basketball and a good distance behind NFL and college football.
Ergo, it's not exactly correct to say that Soccer is a distant 4th. The American domestic league is positioned to explode, and a lot of very rich, very smart people are betting a lot of money that it will do exactly that.
There's just something weird about a sport where you can have both arms amputated, and as long as you're not the goalkeeper, you can still play.
Count me among the Americans who don't like soccer. Seems to me rugby and American football are about pretending you're not hurt for two hours and soccer is about pretending you are.
What’s an MLS?
We have Americans playing Igor big Bundesliga clubs. 2 on Dortmund 1 for Bayern
Ted Lasso 2024
Just watching this years old skit originally intended as a rather broad one off is sadly a bad preview for the series, even though Episode 1 actually repeats a lot of these jokes. The series mines a lot more authentic humor and pathos than the skit.
Love Ted Lasso…soccer not so much! Do you know what so many people play soccer? So they don’t have to watch it!!🤣🤣🤣
Fucking classic
I'm Canadian, but my sister's nickname is wanker! Lol! Soccer sucks.
i hate to burst your bubble but socer is not popular here in usa it's the last place in professional sports here kids play it when there young maybe but the average american sports fan could careless
To be fair look at all the flops in soccer.. 90% of them are very pathetic.
Please react to the show
Those are Bike shorts I’d bet
Bike is an athletic company that made football helmets. If you look at old nfl photos some say BIKE in the front. They were called AIR helmets, because you filled a bladder inside with air to fit your head. They also made shorts
I still wonder why we call ours football. The foot only comes in contact with the ball a few times. And we call actual football soccer. Why? Who knows?
Also, in my experience, American football is not as exhausting as football. So, that's my two cents concerning which is more athletic. They are just different athletics.
Lmfao he is from Wales is that another country yes an no lol
Soccer
MLS is still the distant fifth behind NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL, its never going to be the the top sport, it will eventually be on the level of the NBA or NHL.
I’d say it already is on the level of NHL
If current trends continue it will get to the level of MLB as well
@@coyotelong4349 No, MLS is an entire cut below the NHL in popularity. that said, the fact that their schedules are direct opposite of each other means that MLS and NHL uniquely can coexist, though Hockey fans will find the Diving in Soccer untolerable.
America has not embraced soccer. The overwhelming majority of Americans care absolutely nothing about the sport. Attendance of MLS games is 21,000 average. The least attended NFL team average is over 3 times that much.
I think European football is much more active than American football. Those guys in the European leagues are running that field up and down up and down for 90 minutes you know, and in the NFL there is so much times spent standing around waiting.
I still don't understand offsides either!
