Ted Lasso moved from American football team, Wichita State Shockers, to the UK football Premier League to manage struggling AFC Richmond. This move shocked the media in the USA and UK due to the unusual nature after just winning a trophy with the Shockers, and also Ted not having played or seen UK football before. Ted's knowledge of UK football was very limited initially and after being questioned by the media on his first day at Nelson Road Stadium, he did not know who the current Premier league champions were or what the Offside rule was. He also believed the game was played in quarters as in American football when it is in fact played in halves in the UK.
