Some things can get lost in translation across the pond. The biggest being the word “football,” which refers to very different sports in America and the the rest of the world. And it’s that confusion that may be the basis of Ted Lasso, the new Apple TV+ comedy series starring Jason Sudeikis as a small-town American football coach who takes a job as coach for a British football team — AKA soccer.
