Yeah, I was stoked when he started playing for the Galaxy. Then I realized he was just here in the US to show Euro clubs that his knee was really fixed. It was the Galaxy's turn to play here in Atlanta that year, thought I was going to get to see him! He never even got on the airplane. I understand the guy not wanting to risk another injury, but what he said was, "Zlatan does not play on plastic."
The sun doesn’t rise until Zlatan wakes, the moon doesn’t shine unless Zlatan tells it to, and the cicadas don’t chirp if Zlatan doesn’t chirp first. So it makes sense why he would do that.
@@DLA. I did like the lil' bit in a previous episode where Zava only wanted to play in the UK because his wife loved a UK TV show. I still think it was another "Easter Egg' to US fans of the game. Only reason Beckham played here was because that Spice Girl he married wanted to live in Hollywood. 😄
I was so happy to see Trent Crimm return for the season. James Lance is great in that role and I loved the character. I can't say for certain, but I do think Phil Dunster was cracking up in that scene. Of course, it would have been pretty real for Jamey to be giggling over Roy's rage directed at someone besides Jamey. In the standings, teams get 3 pts for a win and 1 for a draw.
Phil should have won an Emmy (says the retired TV guy that spent 40yrs in the industry 😆). Not his fault his performance spanned three seasons instead of a single episode. Writers had a story to tell, and Dunster 'stuck to the script'.
Yes! That’s exactly why I was unsure! It totally could work in character but there was something about it that made me feel like he was genuinely laughing 🤣🩶
EPL is a traditional soccer league. There's a points table that measures performance over the season. Three points are awarded for a win, one for a draw, and none for a loss. Club with the most points at the end of the season are the Champions! My friends from the UK tease me all the time about MLS - "You Americans certainly love your 'playoffs', don't you?" I *like* ending the season with a mini-tournament..it's fun!
@@ryannrodkey5669 , you'll laugh my (62yr old male) favorite 'chick flick' isn't even a rom-com. I'm from the Southern US, it's "Fried Green Tomatoes" (if you haven't reacted to that, you should!). But I've had girlfriends make me sit through so many of the Hallmark movies that Ted's explanation of what they actually *are* had me literally laughing out loud. Jason knows his rom-coms!
so at the end roy's speech mirrors him leaving keely. he felt like she was becoming too good for him and that she would leave him. so he dumped her before she could dump him.
I love Trent in this season, he's so important to some of the best plotlines this season, and it's always nice to have a fresh perspective. Jamie saying "It's actually quite funny when he yells at other people isn't it?" makes me laugh so much. Jamie's the most common person for Roy to yell at first of all, which means the other team members have been able to laugh at Roy shouting at Jamie like that, but otherwise, Roy is usually shouting at the whole team - which Jamie is also part of. If Roy has ever shouted at anyone else, Jamie hasn't been there to witness it. So from his perspective, he's never NOT been the one Roy's yelling at before - Roy shouting at Trent is the first time he's ever gotten to be an observer! Also great job noticing that the players are giving input now! In the last episode of s2, I think it was the first time any of them had ever had a coach ask them for their input during a game. No one had ever asked them if they thought what they were already doing was working or if they should change it up, but now that they know their coaches are willing to listen, they have things to say!! And it probably affects how they pay attention to things on the field as well. Finally, Hoooo boy gear up for Zava! I cannot WAIT to get into the nitty gritty around him as we progress! You are absolutely right that something's going on with Jamie about Zava, but you'll discover that, unlike with Nate, Jamie is completely valid in his feelings. Your initial thoughts on it are accurate at the moment though - at this point in time, Jamie *is* feeling his title as best player on the team is threatened and he's not really sure what to do about it. He doesn't want to go back to being prick Jamie, so he's not sure how to express insecurity or apprehension or other negative emotions. He's deflecting here, but that will change.
I love reading your comments! I never thought about how this was the first time Jamie would be seeing Roy yell at someone other than him and that makes that whole scene even better 🩶
Roy and Trent stem back from season 2 when Roy was a pundit and they were asking him about a new young player. Roy is mad because of the article he wrote about him years ago. Jamie laughing was him breaking character
I don't know if you caught the metaphor that Ted and Trent were talking about at the end. Roy talking about leaving Chelsea mirrors him leaving Keeley.
Trent doesn’t need to tell anyone it was Nate. Beard ain’t saying anything. And Roy doesn’t talk to Trent at all. That leaves only Higgins. Higgins??? Heck no. Process of elimination is Nate.
Totally! The reason I said that though is because none of those characters know who Ted told other than themselves when they were in the room. We, as the audience, know he only told those people, but for all they know other people could know and could have leaked it 🤷🏻♀️🩶
Zoreaux was out of the net to shorten the angles which the ball carrier has to shoot. By meeting the ball carrier on a breakaway it makes it substantially harder to score, it would actually have been “embarrassing” if he had just stayed on his line, he would’ve had 0 chance to make the save that way. At least that way he had a small chance. I will never tolerate this slander of the greatest Canadian footballer of all time
@@rickykozak58 , bingo. I really think a lot of the disrespect of GKs in the show were for dramatic purposes. They're not really playing football..it's a damn TV show.
@@ryannrodkey5669 despite being fictional, he might still be Canada’s best goalie if I’m being honest, we don’t have a lot going on in that department lol
With Roy I think it's because his exterior is so gruff that any emotional reveal feels special, we know how rarely it happens so it feels really earned. And also just that Brett Goldstein performs it well. (and no, Richmond don't need to win every game, they just need to score more points than any other team - well, strictly speaking they can score the same number of points and it'd then come down to goal difference then most goals scored in the season then a few other criteria and if _all_ of those were also equal there'd then be a play-off to decide it. In fact it's _mathematically_ possible to win the league just with draws so long as every team draws every match _and_ your team scores the most goals in the season but needless to say, that's never happened :)
Just an FYI, Zoreaux gets a bad rep because the show only highlights the goals in the show over the saves. It gets mentioned on TV in the background that he makes a lot of saves that contribute to their victories, but we only get to see the failures, which is meant to show that the whole team has failed when it's left up to him alone to save the goal (if there's no defender between the striker and keeper, that's a failure on the defence). Also, if there are no defenders between the striker and the goalkeeper, the keeper will step out as it narrows down the angles the striker can shoot from without having to run further, rather than the keeper stand in the goal and jump in a random direction when the striker shoots and hoping they jumped the correct way. Chances are, the striker will beat them, but the keeper is trying to make the striker run further to wear them out. Zoreaux stepping out is a legitimate tactic.
There was some minor controversy in this episode: the sign that says 'They don't make them like Roy anymore' at the stadium was actually one in memory of a real-life, well loved player who'd passed on, and people got a bit grumbly over it being used for a fictional character.
@@rickykozak58 There is a banner at Stamford Bridge 'They don't make them like Ray anymore referring to Ray Wilkins. Fans didnt like that the banner was edited, thinking it was disrespectful. I wonder if they filmed at the ground?
I honestly don’t know how I haven’t! Tbf this is one of the main reasons I started the channel! I feel like I haven’t seen many things that most people have so going on the journey with people who love the shows/movies is so much better!! 🩶
The actor who plays Zava also played a memorable role in the later seasons of Agents of SHIELD.
Zava is based on Zlatan Ibrahimović. Lebron James famously sent Zlatan a shirt. He signed it and sent it back!
Yeah, I was stoked when he started playing for the Galaxy. Then I realized he was just here in the US to show Euro clubs that his knee was really fixed.

..."vast network of lip-reading massage therapists..." So funny. Loved all your enthusiastic reactions today!
p.s. Poor Jamie, who's come so far, doesn't want Zava to steal his thunder. Also, love Roy's speech at the end.
Ahh thank you!! 🩶

Roy and Trent make their peace in the best way. I love this show so much. I love when reaction videos like yours say ‘we’ for the Richmond team ❤️❤️❤️
Awh I love that! I definitely feel like I’m a part of this team 🤣🤣🩶
Nooo my favorite line was cut!
“Why would ZAVA write a book about Trent Crimm!?!?”
I’m not really upset. Obviously you edit how you want 😂 love your reactions and discussions regardless 😊
Oh no I’m sorry! 😭😭 such a great line and bit 🩶

Phil Dunster (Jamie) said the background smiling/laughing was in character and not breaking character, but I'm willing to bet it was both

It was
I love to see trent crimm back with the team and also his dinamic with roy

If you watch The Office make sure you watch the original English version. That is the one they were talking about.
Yeah, watch any Zlatan video and you'll understand Zava. 😁
