Last episode Zava spoke Polish, this episode we find out that his child is named after a Polish holiday… this man is Polish, you can’t convince me otherwise!
Rupert's switchback on how Nate should address him was a perfect illustration of his capricious nature. Maybe that is the first domino falling for that arc.
Not saying yall are wrong about Ted being passive but he was an American Football coach first and they do tend to lean on assistant coaches and focus on creating a team culture especially the most successful ones. I am sure he will but I always thought it made sense he was focused on team moral and unity over strategy. I love y'all's channel and I look forward to these deeply!
Good point. And, let's be honest, there are plenty of American Football coaches that are incompetent but look great because of their coordinators and assistants 😂 -Andrew
I get that for the plot it was important that there be a security camera in the locker room but…that’s where the team changes! A little sketchy if it’s not just a plot hole. 😬
I wondered about that too, but I assumed it was providing "security" while the locker room was unoccupied during the match, and it's not like it was in the showers. Regardless, there are plenty of professional sports where the media goes into locker rooms while players are changing. It wouldn't surprise me if safety is worth the sacrifice of some privacy, especially if the cameras are strategically placed and communicated with the team. -Andrew
I feel like Ted is doing the most important job a head coach has: he is creating a new team culture. Imagine what it was like under the bozo Rebecca fired in ep. 1. Over two and a half seasons, Ted has been building a new culture and a totally new team-oriented environment. Zava is actually disrupting that somewhat which I see as an actual failing of Ted's in that we haven't seen him make any effort to incorporate Zava into "the Lasso way." Remember in season 1, Trent Crimm's profile referred to "the Lasso way" so maybe Trent will be the one to remind him of it.
He could have grabbed the flash drive after they first shooter l showed the video and it never would have been seen, but he didn't. There is definitely a reason the camera closed in on it and then he asked for it after them the players seeing it didn't work out.
It might be as simple as showing the viewer that the footage exists on a flash drive, knowing it will get referenced later and ultimately confiscated by Ted. Sure, Ted could have taken it in that initial moment, but I don't think it's in his nature to do something like that without telling his coaches first. - Andrew
I must admit I am regularly being taken out of the show when the writers forget that the show is set in England. We don’t say ‘commercial(s)’ or ‘elevator’, and nobody here has ever, ever, said something ‘sucks butt’ It’s annoying. I understand it is an American production, and it airs in the States, but despite all the negative stereotypes, Americans are not dumb and will get what words like ‘advert’ and ‘lift’ mean simply from context alone.
I've always been annoyed by movies/shows set in England where characters say "miles" instead of "kilometers." They even show road signs that read "miles" on them lol. I hadn't considered some of the other terms you're mentioning, and now it's all I'm going to think about 😂 -Andrew
@@chrisknight2631 that's general m'ricanArrogance. so many of their movies show someone travel to other countries and people there somehow do speak with accent but have perfect American grammar. so unrealistic for us Europeans. we don't talk like that.
@@celinelia8127 No it isn’t. Ted Lasso is a US TV show, shot for US audiences. The US makes some of the best TV ever made, and all of it is/was made for a US audience. All British TV is made for a British audience. All Spanish TV is made for a Spanish audience. It’s not arrogance. The US just happen to be lucky that their language is now the most common language in the world (it overtook Mandarin this year). Of course it will be scripted for their own country first and foremost. It would be stupid not to. Imagine Ted went to Spain instead and they shot the whole thing in Spanish, with no subtitles - it would be a huge gamble to do that WITH subtitles as the producers would know that there would be a much smaller audience. It’s not arrogance at all. It’s common sense; it’s the right thing for them to do. In this instance it’s either common sense, so written for Americans, or it’s an oversight, which I doubt very much as the English actors in the show will have definitely said “I would never say elevator in my life, I would always say lift” and the lines would be changed. The producers and the show runner clearly feel that they should change these to the US version for their viewers, knowing full well that English speakers from other countries will still understand what is being said. I wasn’t confused by any of these Americanisms, they just took me out of the episode slightly. Keeley says “make a good commercial” and for just a second I think to myself “why in earth would she talk like that?” and then immediately forget it and carry on enjoying the show. The worst offender of them all being “sucks butt” I must admit. I guarantee that’s the first time and English woman has said that phrase in the history of England. Well, depends on the take and how much she rehearsed, so might not have been the first, per sé, but definitely the first time it’s been said on an English TV show! I think the only arrogance shown here was from you, assuming that a foreign TV show wouldn’t be aimed at their own country, and should be aimed at you and yours instead.
I’m glad Nate tried to apologise to Ted. At least he’s seen Rupert and his assistant too like Rebecca did.
Now we just need Nate to see Nate like Ted did! 🤗 -Andrew

Sucks that Richmond lost but the way they lost was hilarious. They lost control and they got wild 😂😂😂
They will learn from their experience
this was one of the best post episode analysis I have seen. Great job guys.
Much appreciated 🙏 Thank you for watching!

Great thoughtful analysis
One of the most underrated channel out there

@J N I think that’s a good call

Yeah, all Premier League changing rooms have cctv in them. Most top tier teams will have, too.
The table game Nate is playing is called subbuteo , it's very popular in the uk
Reading up on it now! Thank you for the info. -Andrew
@@ItTakes2Takes it’s great fun. Pre computer game fun.
Just happened upon your channel, and as a big fan of Ted Lasso, I really enjoyed your reaction video and insights. 👍🌞♥️
Thank you for the kind words. Glad you’re enjoying our videos! 🙏
What up Brown's Fan. A displaced Clevelander here. Great analysis, I believe the loss to Nate reinforces the Lasso method of coaching. Aloha
Browns fan? What? Lol
@@ItTakes2Takes I thought I saw some Brownies Merch screen right, well I do have bad I site. Misspelled purposely. Keep up the reviews. Aloha
I actually have some Bengals merch because I run a Bengals YT channel 😬 www.youtube.com/@BengalsTalk
Great review! I think you’re 💯 correct

@@ItTakes2Takes Yeah that’s because we don’t use Kilometres, we use miles.
Ah, I meant to say "Europe" and said "England." My mistake.
