I, eh, wasn’t done, apparently.
So this is all speculation, and I’ll contradict my last post a bit as well lol, but rethinking about it, I think Sam’s arc is going to conclude with him getting called up to the Nigeria national team(maybe in their World Cup squad? And yes, I know that Nigeria wasn’t in the World Cup this year, but this is fictional at the end of the day, so even if we abide by the rules of football, we can tweak the teams playing in a tournament) and getting the #10 shirt there.
It’ll be a pretty good arc for him imo, as it also calls back two other instances where the Nigerian NT was mentioned - 1.06 where he states it as his dream, and 2.12 where Edwin akufo gives him a green #10 shirt with his name on it(Nigeria colors, even if it wasn’t a Nigeria shirt) and later says Sam will never play for Nigeria.
Anyway I think it’ll be pretty fitting, and maybe Sam is captain when he is as an honor from the team for getting called up, which would also be a reason to say he loves them all very much.
Until next time
Right. This is gonna be maybe a bit spoilery, I will expel all the football things concerning ted lasso s3 that are swirling through my head and y’all can ignore it and move on with your life while the void and I enjoy each other’s company

Stadiums they filmed in: Nelson road(selhurst park obv), supposedly Johan Cruijff ArenA, Stamford Bridge, London Stadium, Etihad, Emirates.
In a recent podcast moe jeudy lamour was talking about Wembley and it sort of sounded like they didn’t film there again in s3. That means: we’re probably not going to get a serious FA cup run, unless he was, of course, lying(very purposefully omitting information), which is very much a possibility. If we don’t get an FA cup it leaves us with two possibilities for “winning the whole fucking thing” - actually winning the premier league, an idea which I hate, or missing out on the title but winning a family(I.e. tedbecca endgame).
Now let’s talk Amsterdam: assuming the show keeps playing sorta by the rules, as they’ve pretty much done so far, the only really relevant time for them to go there is pre-season, but considering it’s episode 6, it makes less of a sense. That is, unless this episode is going to actually be a flashback or a chapter reading out of Trent’s presumed book, which I really don’t know if it’s spoiler or fanon, but Apple kinda teased with that Trent promo.
Kits: we have 3 kits and a new training kit(thank god, the gray is ugly) - 1) blue and red 2) orange and 3) believe blue and yellow . On most of what we saw there was a premier league symbol on the arm. I haven’t seen a cup insignia, but that doesn’t mean much.
Captain: Isaac is still captain. The Sam scene seems to be an exception, probably brought about by either an Isaac red card(maybe after the west ham game, which seem to escalate into violence) or a special occasion for Sam. Considering I didn’t see Isaac in the huddle, it’s probably the first option. In ALL other instances though, including on the wall of s3 set, Isaac is captain.
New guy, maybe dressing room trouble? So I’ve seen this #10 shirt with the name Zava around since the day the trailer dropped but haven’t spotted a new face and his name wasn’t on any of the lockers, but now we actually have the footage of it.
Now, a number 10, the fact that all of the fans seem to be sporting his shirt and that he got 4 fucking lockers and a La-Z boy, seem to indicate he’s a big deal. Also notice the Ajax and Juventus shirts with his name on them, further indicating his status. It’ll be interesting to see how that sort of thing changes the dynamic within the Richmond dressing room.
I have to say that it’s a pretty bold choice to bring a new #10 for the last season, and that’s also kind of why I think he may be an antagonist throughout the season. At the end of the day, we all want one of our faves, who’s been with us since day one to get the winning goal(in show. Irl I don’t give a fuck who scores, as long as they’re from my team), not a newcomer.
I also heard there’s been some talk about whether or not they’re going to deal with the World Cup, as in universe it’s 21/22 season, and well, there’s honestly no need for them to say anything about it unless we have a time jump, but assuming they did mention it, I would guess they’d ignore the fact that it was played in Qatar just like they ignored COVID, and talk summer World Cup as usual instead of a winter one like we had this year.
Ok. That’s it. Maybe. We’ll see.
Edit: we can also talk about Nate coming back as kit man if anyone would like to indulge me
Second edit, because I can’t leave well enough alone: I’m guessing he’s gonna leave for west ham on the January transfer window, and Sam is going to take his #10 shirt.
