I can freely admit that outside of the Olympics, I’ve never sat down to watch it lol

I hope the USMNT make a splash next year and become the gateway to millions of new fans like you into the sport.  It can be such an exhilarating competition and sport.

For me, it's not "omg not girls". It's trying to squeeze more blood out of the turnip. This show had a great finale and now we're running it back but this time he's coaching the women's team? Just feels like that will pale in comparison but that's what we're doing now in the IP world we live in. 

That's kind of where I am, too.

It's kind of a show that fit perfectly with its moment in time.  But it had a lifespan.  And I think we're well past that lifespan.

I suppose I'll probably watch.  Maybe.

I like the show enough that I'll give it a chance.

If it's horrible I'll just pretend the series ended earlier, like I do with GoT. :)

 

 

 

Like how they never made Godfather, Part III. Why would you do that? Part II was a perfect ending and there was no reason to fool with it. Quite prudent.

Ugh, I hate fucking society right now. Just a bunch of bitching "omg not girls!" 

that’s not what it is. it’s that season one the show was about a quirky, uber positive, fish out of water who positively affected the lives of everyone he came in contact with, and while telling that story the writers came up with some truly hilarious and poignant scenes and episodes.

after S1, it basically felt like the writers stopped writing that show, came up with every single virtue signaling/me too/far left political talking point they could think of, and then wrote episodes around those ideas, featuring the same cast as before, but getting rid of all the funny parts and replacing them the most overbearing, down-talking, preachy bullshit they could think of. they changed what the entire show was about and reduced to nothing but virtue signaling. and i’m pretty goddamn left leaning myself, so this isn’t about me disagreeing with their politics, it’s about the politics taking uber the show. ted lasso coaching a girls team just signals that’s it’s going to be more non-funny political bullshit.

seriously- the scene where the entire team gets together in the locker room and just trashes men for sexualizing women, not respecting women, and for *gasp*, not deleting the nudes from their phone when their relationship ends was one of the worst scenes of tv i’ve ever seen. just the dumbest, most ass backwards, fucking illogical nonsense i think i’ve ever seen. just gave up all pretenses of writing an honest to god sitcom, and just said, “here, sit back and take it while we cram this pc feminist bullshit down your throats, you horrible, terrible straight white man you.” 🙄 so fucking bad.

Generally I think you are overreacting but I do have to agree that was the lowest point in a low season. Oof.

Buncha crusty old dudes up in here

I’m in for a new season. If it’s about the women’s team, cool. Just about every EPL club has one now. I felt the series ended as it should have and we got closure. This could just be a money grab, but I’m going to give it a shot. If it’s bad, I still enjoyed S1-3 and it doesn’t cost me anything to stop watching it.

Well that post wasn’t for you was it now. It was for the people unhappy about the construction of the new characters that will come into Ted’s life. 
 

addendum: while I will give this an earnest try and probably watch it all unless it’s just horrible, I understand those that think Ted’s character has waxed and waned.  We met him, didn’t believe him, came around on him, and cheered for him at the same time as Rebecca and Roy and the others. We saw his marriage fall apart, his relationship with his son change, we learned about his relationship with his father. 
 

now, we know all of that. It won’t be the same emotional ride, and we will already know so much that the new characters will have to come to know in time, so it will be a completely different experience.

Yes, but this time, we’re going to get Rebecca having lots of explicit hot sex.

I mean, if they hire me as a script doctor.

Don’t be shoving that female empowerment shit down Derkas throat, he’s offended. Feel free to share directly with me.

Hannah Waddingham's agent meets with the producers: "Hannah is excited about this new season, but she is a little confused by some of the plot. She understands Sela Ward is playing the manager of the rival team. It's a little odd that there are two American managers in the league. But she's very confused by this one scene in the second episode, where the two of them go home with a coonass lawyer from Texas character. Where does he come into play and what is the motivation for these women to have relations with a man who only talks about Texas Longhorn football and Allsups burritos? Also, what is an Allsup?"

Furthermore, we’re not sure how much Susanna Hoffs even knows about soccer….

Sunday is her fun day, and a lot of soccer matches are played on Sunday erego....

If y’all are bucking to get on my writing team….its working.

I will never criticize someone taking the money someone is willing to pay them but this feels like a series that has “jumped the shark”. 
I don’t see tuning into S4.

The should have Ted take over a WNBA team and have him try to fix Angel Reese. 

He’d have a better shot at turning Derka into an NBA All Star than fixing her shot.

Ted is a big believer in second chances.  Maybe Rupert has bought into Women's Soccer to try to rehabilitate his leacherous image, and he hires Ted to coach in the same league where the fledgling AFC Richmond Women's soccer side competes.  

I love me some Ted Lasso, but there must be more than just him going back to coach Rebecca's side.

Yeah, Season 3 was pretty weak compared to the first two. We do not need another one.

For me it’s just that I don’t watch women’s sports at all so why would I watch a show about it?  It’s Ted Lasso, so I’m sure I’ll give it a chance, but I’m not super excited about it.

I'll watch women's soccer long before I watch women's basketball or softball. It's some of the better women's sports viewing outside of volleyball or golf, maybe.
