You're absolutely right but in England its:
- Your Football Club
- Your Country
- Your King/Queen
- God
In that order.
Its still a great show, and its not about the games, they could have picked any sport and done the 'fish out of water' routine. They even joke about it when Higgins hands Rebecca a list of candidates to replace Ted and he says something like:
"I even included a Basketball coach from New Zealand."
And one of the things I tell people is that one of the most well acknowledged coaches in North America, Vince Lombardi, coached Basketball for a few years. A sport he knew nothing about.
What I like about Ted Lasso is that Rebecca
deliberately hired Ted because he didnt know anything. She was trying to take something her cheating ex-husband loved and RUIN it! And that was her strategy. And then she grew to love it too and her strategy kind of blew up in her face by Ted turning out to be awesome.
