Right. This is gonna be maybe a bit spoilery, I will expel all the football things concerning ted lasso s3 that are swirling through my head and yāall can ignore it and move on with your life while the void and I enjoy each otherās company
Stadiums they filmed in: Nelson road(selhurst park obv), supposedly Johan Cruijff ArenA, Stamford Bridge, London Stadium, Etihad, Emirates.
In a recent podcast moe jeudy lamour was talking about Wembley and it sort of sounded like they didnāt film there again in s3. That means: weāre probably not going to get a serious FA cup run, unless he was, of course, lying(very purposefully omitting information), which is very much a possibility. If we donāt get an FA cup it leaves us with two possibilities for āwinning the whole fucking thingā - actually winning the premier league, an idea which I hate, or missing out on the title but winning a family(I.e. tedbecca endgame).
Now letās talk Amsterdam: assuming the show keeps playing sorta by the rules, as theyāve pretty much done so far, the only really relevant time for them to go there is pre-season, but considering itās episode 6, it makes less of a sense. That is, unless this episode is going to actually be a flashback or a chapter reading out of Trentās presumed book, which I really donāt know if itās spoiler or fanon, but Apple kinda teased with that Trent promo.
Kits: we have 3 kits and a new training kit(thank god, the gray is ugly) - 1) blue and red 2) orange and 3) believe blue and yellow . On most of what we saw there was a premier league symbol on the arm. I havenāt seen a cup insignia, but that doesnāt mean much.
Captain: Isaac is still captain. The Sam scene seems to be an exception, probably brought about by either an Isaac red card(maybe after the west ham game, which seem to escalate into violence) or a special occasion for Sam. Considering I didnāt see Isaac in the huddle, itās probably the first option. In ALL other instances though, including on the wall of s3 set, Isaac is captain.
New guy, maybe dressing room trouble? So Iāve seen this #10 shirt with the name Zava around since the day the trailer dropped but havenāt spotted a new face and his name wasnāt on any of the lockers, but now we actually have the footage of it.
Now, a number 10, the fact that all of the fans seem to be sporting his shirt and that he got 4 fucking lockers and a La-Z boy, seem to indicate heās a big deal. Also notice the Ajax and Juventus shirts with his name on them, further indicating his status. Itāll be interesting to see how that sort of thing changes the dynamic within the Richmond dressing room.
I have to say that itās a pretty bold choice to bring a new #10 for the last season, and thatās also kind of why I think he may be an antagonist throughout the season. At the end of the day, we all want one of our faves, whoās been with us since day one to get the winning goal(in show. Irl I donāt give a fuck who scores, as long as theyāre from my team), not a newcomer.
I also heard thereās been some talk about whether or not theyāre going to deal with the World Cup, as in universe itās 21/22 season, and well, thereās honestly no need for them to say anything about it unless we have a time jump, but assuming they did mention it, I would guess theyād ignore the fact that it was played in Qatar just like they ignored COVID, and talk summer World Cup as usual instead of a winter one like we had this year.
Ok. Thatās it. Maybe. Weāll see.
Edit: we can also talk about Nate coming back as kit man if anyone would like to indulge me
Second edit, because I canāt leave well enough alone: Iām guessing heās gonna leave for west ham on the January transfer window, and Sam is going to take his #10 shirt.
