They guys are great and have been good for Wrexam and brought attention to all the lower divisions. But really the star is just UK football and the fans. Their passion. The promotion battle. The relegation battle. Pub life. It’s the backbone of Ted Lasso and it’s what drives this show. It’s hard to draw parallels with US sport because they really just have the football. Rugby and cricket are great and have passionate fans but they are distant second and third to football. And the football is just the club system, there isn’t a college league that’s at all relevant. So it all gets concentrated and amplified into football. That’s what they have captured with the show.
