@@liamray8736 #14 has to be level with the second-to-last defender (which in this case is Isaac) when the ball is played forward. Usually the last defender is the goalkeeper, but Zorro was out of position, which means the defender standing in goal (I assume it's Jan Maas) is the last defender.

Fun Fact: The story where a football team got relegated in the 1st year, promoted the 2nd year and won the league in the 3rd year has been done before in real life. The german football team "1. FC Kaiserslautern" won the Bundesliga season 1997/98 under the exact same circumstances.

[@stevarino1989]

@@stevarino1989 true but it suits the show more. its trying to not be this fairytale cinderella story but more grounded in realism. and tries to (and manages to) relate to everydaythings. in this instance, they might not have won. But were amazing and should be celebrating themselves and their achievments. Even if its not first spot. but still an amazing feat theres actually a study on gold silver and bronce medalists at olympia.... silver are kinda unhappy (even though they did amazing. Gold is happy, but bronce tends to be the happiest bunch (they are so happy to just finish with a medal). And this shows: you can and should celebrate a 2nd place aswell

[@jamessuits1972]

Another tie in between this episode and the first one is that in the first episode the first word we hear Rebecca say is "Rupert", because he hangs over her like a dark cloud and she is obsessed with bringing him down. In this episode her final word that we hear is "Rebecca", signifying she has moved past Rupert and is ready to be her own person and live life on her terms. I love this so much.

[@JosefFerguson]

One of my favorite parts is Ted taking the imaginary ESPY back from Nate and tossing it over his shoulder because his demonstration was done and it was no longer needed. Genius writing.

[@NoOne-gm4ml]

I suspect that wasn't writing, so much as just Jason Sudeikis' improv roots.

[@danthompson011]

I love how excited Nate is that it was "his play" that won them the game. The guy was just Manager for a Premier League team... where all the plays were his plays. But since Richmond is home and where his heart is, this one play means it all to him. This show is amazing!

[@jamielowndes]

It was his idea, and he doesn't get any of the credit. And that's completely OK with him now compared to how he was in season 2. Great character moment for him

Give a hats off to the body doubles who did the footy sequences, too! This season had amazing action sequences, they really took advantage of those guys having had three years to develop chemistry with each other, some of the best fake football shots I’ve ever seen.

But I swear, I have never watched a show which has had such a profound impact on me like Ted Lasso. I have laughed and cried all through it. As soon as my wife and I watched the last episode, we started watching it again. A masterful piece of TV.

I just love that Ted is the only coach to catch the offside player AND he ends up choosing the set piece (that, sure, Nate designed way back when) that wins them the game. Everyone grows over the course of the three seasons, including Ted becoming, against all odds, a pretty decent soccer coach.

[@thedudeabides7652]

You have to feel sorry for Colin a little. Up until this moment, any celebration that the team did they were able to hug and kiss their loved ones, he couldn't in public. For him to be able to let his guard down is a good moment. I couldn't imagine hiding a secret for most of your life and feeling ashamed of it.

[@williammccormick984]

Super underrated moment how Roy grabs Nate out of Ted's arms. I loved that.

[@bobbarker5855]

Amazing the number of callbacks in this one scene. The winning goal was a play that Nate gave to Ted in the 3rd episode of season one and back then Jamie hated the idea of being used as a decoy. Fast forward to this scene and not only does he relish the idea but mimics the exact movements and words that Ted used when he was trying to teach Jamie how to sell the fake. The sheer joy on Nate's face when he jumps into Ted's arms yelling "that's my play" is poetic.

[@MichaelHenkleC]

the part that many miss is Ted Crimm was there when they were running that play; outside of the players, Ted Crimm was the only other person who already knew what the play was, and he couldn't believe it when it was being called; go back and watch his reaction.

[@sheynemeiklejohn]

The other thing worth mentioning is that Sam scored the winning goal against Rupert's team when Rupert would have put him back on defence "where he belongs". Just beautiful.

[@cyonara1590]

When zorro comes out the box to stop the ball he loses his goalie position and number 13 Jan Maas becomes the goalie, so all attackers have to be behind number 5 Isaac McaAdoo in order to be onside, very rare and forgotten rule because no one expects a keeper to come out far, that is why bread and roy didnt think it was offsides and the only person that knew was Ted someone who didnt even know how offsides worked, small beautiful detail by the writers, i seen this rule once Henry Kane’s goal against Chelsea and people were in disbelief

[@aniskhallfaoui3782]

youve actually overcomplicated , theres a simple way to put this , theres gotta be 2 players between the player receiving the ball and the goal line , which are in 99.9% of cases the last defender and the goal keeper.

[@mattthompson3493]

today i learned 👍
