You’ve got to hand it to them, NBC are certainly pulling out all the stops in promoting their coverage of the upcoming Premier League.
After decking out New York subway trains in Premier League club colours, the US channel have produced a rather clever, self-depreciating video clip which lampoons Americans’ supposed lack of knowledge of ‘soccer’.
Starring Jason Sudeikis, star of Horrible Bosses and 30 Rock, plays ‘Ted Lasso’, Tottenham’s new head coach but a man with feck all knowledge of the game of football (insert your own Christian Gross gags here). To be honest, I’ve grown tired of the whole ‘let’s laugh at the Yanks’ lack of football nous’, however this is worth a look!
