Ted Lasso Wiki

The Iron Giant was a film AFC Richmond watched on the evening prior to their first match against Everton F.C. in the Ted Lasso era. They chose the movie over a pillow fight, the other option Lasso offered them.

While lasso left the exhibition in order to mull over his final divorce papers, the team continued watching the film, which had highly emotional content. Lasso was so worried about the team's reaction that he admonished Coach Beard to watch over the guys, "'cause around the 75 minute mark, there's gonna be a room full of grown men crying". Beard agreed, tossing a box of tissues on the table in front of him, saying that he'd "be one of them".

Sure enough, Dani, Thierry, Colin and Isaac were all seen to be crying later during the film's climactic moment.
