It's weird how this show can cover a lot on nonsense but make it seem interesting.
Good thing this is a 10 episode season as there hasn't been a bum one yet, typically american shows struggle when they're 20+ long a season.
I know it is coming through creative writing but I am now cheering on Ted and we all know that eventually the club chairperson will do too.
Yes, as usual the show got it's one laugh near thd end of the show; a crescendo after a half an hour build up.
Hannah is doing a great performance as the baddie and Higgins her put upon lapdog is brilliantly portrayed too.
It's in a grand scheme of things and we are now over the half way mark in the series so things ars sure to pick up for Ted and the team.
It's like seeing thd inevitable coming and you can't do anything about it.
An excruciating but a tip of thd hat to the writers even if the acting isn't that great.
Jamie was so sure he would not be benched, after all he is the club's main goalscorer and scored two goals in their previous match.
Dani though is enthusiastic. For him football is life as he runs up and down the pitch like a little kid.
Dani is not shy about training, and does so even when others have finished.
Only to get injured again and it is blamed on a curse on the ground after some kind of incident many years earlier.
Ted Lasso decides to hold a ceremony to get rid off the curse. Even Rebecca Welton is invited as the team owner. Jamie also takes part reluctantly.
It is another cunning way to show how Ted gets the team to bond. This is the first time Ted loses it in the dressing room when Jamie does not want to practice. Over the course of the episode, Jamie's lackeys start to abandon him.

- GoofsWhen Ted supposedly misuses the German word "schadenfreude" in the term "this is a no schadenfreude zone", coach Beard corrects him, wrongly also, in saying that the correct term is "nein schadenfreude". It's neither. The correct German term is "keine schadenfreude".
However, it is reasonable to think that "this is a no schadenfreude zone" is a grammatically correct sentence and that coach Beard only "approve" by jokingly adding "nein" (which is not grammatically accurate but not a goof).

Ted Lasso: Hey, Jamie. I heard you're not gonna be able to run with us today. That true?
Jamie Tartt: Yep.
Ted Lasso: Why's that?
Jamie Tartt: 'Cause I'm hurt.
Ted Lasso: Really sorry to hear that.
[starts to walk away]
Jamie Tartt: Relax, Ted. It's just practice.
[Ted stops walking; locker room goes silent]
Ted Lasso: Hey. If you can't practice, you can't practice. If you're hurt, you're hurt. It's as simple as that. But it ain't about that... at all. You're sitting in here, you're supposed to be the franchise player. And yet here we are, talking about you missing practice. We're talking about practice. You understand me? Practice. Not a game. Not a game, not the game you go out there and die for, right? Play every weekend like it's your last, right? No, we're talking about practice, man! Practice! You know you're supposed to be out there. You know you're supposed to lead by example. You're just shoving that all aside. And so here we are, Jamie. We're talking about practice. Not a game. Not the game. We're talking about practice, with your team. With your teammates. The only place we get to play together, we got control over. Rest of the time, it's us eleven against those eleven. We're talking about practice, man! I'm talking about practice! And you can't do it, 'cause you're "hurt"! Right? It's fine by me. Tell you what, do me a favor. When you get out there, set up the cones so the other reserves can do a little passing drill.
[walks off]
Jamie Tartt: You want me to set up cones?
Ted Lasso: [over his shoulder] I really appreciate it!
