Apple TV's smash hit series, which follows an American football coach who crosses the pond to lead an English association football team, first won over people's hearts and minds in 2020. Led by Jason Sudeikis' endearing portrayal of the kind and caring coach, the show provided the warmth and camaraderie viewers craved amidst the pandemic.
With the first two seasons garnering rave reviews, fans eagerly awaited the third instalment of the Ted Lasso saga. Now that it's here, the future of AFC Richmond is on everyone's mind.
After the first season three episode, fans are eager to know if Richmond can ultimately defeat West Ham, their main rival.
One line from the show has stirred up excitement: "It may not work out how you think it should work out, but it will all work out." Many fans believe this foreshadows a fateful clash between the two teams.
Per English Premier League regulations, each pair of teams faces off twice in the season, setting the stage for two pivotal West Ham-Richmond showdowns. Fans speculate that Richmond will suffer a loss in the first match, with Lasso unable to stop his former protégé Nate from decimating his team. While this outcome seems disheartening, hope remains for the second game.
Most fans predict that season three will conclude with a rematch between West Ham and Richmond.
This time, after regrouping and strategising, Lasso's team is expected to secure a victory and maintain their Premier League spot. Although a draw remains possible, fans believe the show's writers will ultimately favour a Richmond win.
Don't miss Ted Lasso season 3, episode 2, coming to Apple TV on 22 March 2023.
