While the latest trailer confirms that the show is heading in an exciting new direction, many of the biggest questions remain centered on who's back, who's out, and the new players arriving. Ted Lasso is finally making its long-awaited return, and Apple TV+ has already given fans a first look at what promises to be a fresh chapter for the Emmy-winning series. While the latest trailer confirms that the show is heading in an exciting new direction, many of the biggest questions remain centered on who’s back, who’s out, and the new players arriving. The beloved comedy has built its reputation on heartfelt storytelling, memorable characters, and soccer, and the upcoming season appears determined to preserve that winning formula. The club enters a completely different era, bringing new challenges while maintaining the warmth and optimism that made the series a worldwide success. Season 4 premieres on August 5, with new episodes arriving weekly through October 7. After spending time back in the United States, Ted returns to England for what Apple describes as his biggest challenge yet, taking charge of a new project that changes the focus of the series. Rather than continuing with the familiar men’s setup, the story now revolves around AFC Richmond’s newly formed women’s soccer team, marking a significant shift for the franchise. The decision follows the ending of Season 3, when the idea of launching a women’s side was first introduced. Feels good to be back.#TedLasso returns August 5. pic.twitter.com/6bUpL1OQLT— Apple TV (@AppleTV) July 28, 2026 Apple’s official synopsis explains that Ted will be “taking on his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second division women’s football team.” The synopsis adds that the coach and his players will learn to take risks throughout the season as they embrace an entirely new journey. The familiar faces staying at the heart of the story Although the series is entering new territory, several of the show’s biggest stars are returning to guide Richmond into its next chapter. Jason Sudeikis reprises his role as Ted Lasso, once again leading the series as the endlessly optimistic American coach. Joining him are Hannah Waddingham as Rebecca Welton, Brett Goldstein as Roy Kent, Brendan Hunt as Coach Beard, Juno Temple as Keeley Jones and Jeremy Swift as Leslie Higgins.

Their relationships, leadership and personal journeys continue to form the emotional backbone of the series. Brendan Hunt, Tanya Reynolds, Jason Sudeikis, John Ternus, SVP, Apple, Tim Cook, CEO, Apple, Hannah Waddingham, Jeremy Swift and Juno Temple Several Richmond favourites step away One of the biggest surprises surrounding Season 4 is that many of the well-known men’s team players will no longer be regular cast members. Characters including Jamie Tartt, Dani Rojas and Sam Obisanya are expected to play little or no role in the new season as the focus shifts toward Richmond’s women’s side. While cameo appearances remain possible, reports suggest they will no longer drive the main storyline. Sudeikis explained why conversations with departing cast members were especially difficult. “Because I didn’t want them to hear it on the internet,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “And because I love those guys and we all went through something together.” Kola Bokinni, Billy Harris, Cristo Fernández, Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, James Lance, Nick Mohammed and Brendan Hunt Nick Mohammed’s Nate Shelley is also expected to appear in a reduced capacity rather than as a full-time regular. Cristo Fernandez, whose energetic Dani Rojas became one of the show’s most beloved personalities, is also expected to sit out the new season. The trailer even includes a touching cal
Roberto Ayala reflected on the incident involving Dani Olmo after the World Cup final between Argentina and Spain, admitting his mistake. With emotions running high at the end of the World Cup match that saw Spain beat Argentina in the final, some players became involved in an altercation that included pushes between both teams. Argentina’s staff tried to separate the players, but Roberto Ayala found himself pushing Dani Olmo, an incident he later explained in an interview with Valencia Capital Radio. Ayala said: “It is a shame, and you have to accept responsibility for the actions you take on the field. I cannot do that regardless of what I may have received. I went in to separate them. It was more of a push than anything else, it was not a punch. It was a reaction to something that was said, but if I see Olmo, I will apologize to him in person. I regret it.” The incidents began when Spain’s substitute players entered the field to celebrate, with some of them mocking Argentina’s players. This led to a confrontation between Leandro Paredes, Eric García and Gavi that was later joined by more players. In the background, Ayala was seen slightly shoving Olmo. Ayala on the match itself The visible face of the coaching staff is the manager, with Lionel Scaloni being the leader of the team. Around him are experienced figures such as Ayala, who played for more than a decade during a successful era for Valencia. García sparked the incident after the match (Al Bello/Getty Images) Losing the final in that way was a huge disappointment, albeit the former player commented that the reception they received in Argentina after returning helped them deal with the result against a Spain team he also congratulated. Ayala said: “They were superior and deserved to win the World Cup. We showed a part of our game, but we did not have the same level in our legs as we did in 2022. We have to congratulate Spain. They were better and they overpowered us. It was another learning experience for us. Spain played attractive soccer that many people enjoy. There was nothing that happened in the locker room, there was simply a team that played better, was superior and won.” Ayala on the referee’s performance The appointment of UEFA referee Slavko Vincic for a final involving a European team generated controversy, especially because Argentina had only lost two World Cup matches under Scaloni before the final, with the previous defeat coming against Saudi Arabia in Qatar. However, Ayala did not use the referee’s decisions as an excuse when discussing Enzo Fernández’s red card. Ayala said: “I don’t know how to rate it. He did not call the small plays. There were fouls that he let go. I think he rushed with the first yellow card for the sending-off. The second one was a fairly direct challenge that is a yellow card because of the force of the tackle. We cannot fall into the idea that the referee was bad. I think he did well while officiating the final.”
The two substitutes combined on the World Cup winning goal not by changing the game, but by offering it what it needed, when it was neededAs Spain built into the second half of extra-time of Sunday’s World Cup final, it was already clear that Argentina hoped to make them suffer. Every challenge left no stud unshown. Their defenders labored to block striker Mikel Oyarzabal from his typical lanes of service, with Spain taking 11 of their 20 attempts from beyond the box.Lionel Scaloni’s side may have been aggressive, but they were also just structured enough to withstand the endless monsoon of Spanish pressure. After the 62nd minute, when Luis de la Fuente brought his first two charges off the bench, Spain adapted to find new avenues to attack, adjusting with Enzo Fernández’s sending-off near the end of normal time.

Miguel Delaney and Richard Jolly reflect on Spain winning a second World Cup, with Ferran Torres’ extra-time winner highlighting Spain’s depth and collective style under Luis De la Fuente. They lament Argentina’s negative, ill-disciplined performance which lacked any shot on goal until the 117th minute, a red card for Enzo Fernandez and post-match flare-ups—calling it a frustrating final, and a sad possible last World Cup game for Lionel Messi.
Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!Maybe Donald Trump was simply confused. He must have seen the ticker tape, a group of men cavorting around an American field clad in red and thought he’d stumbled into one of his Maga rallies. That is the only logical explanation for his bizarre behaviour on the champions’ plinth in (a stadium near) New York as Spain hoisted their freshly won trophy aloft, Trump having to be dragged off the stage by notorious wallflower Gianni Infantino as Rodri exhibited his trademark composure, patiently waiting to bask in his team’s glory moment. This is the way the Geopolitics World Cup ends, not with a bang but a desperate grab for attention from the US president. The GWC final had already witnessed its own on-field disgrace of course, in the shape of Argentina’s shameful performance. La Albiceleste tarnished their proud footballing history with a display completely devoid of ambition, pride and, well, quality. No shots in regulation time, no shots on target in the entire 120 minutes and Enzo Fernández sent off in ignominy. Even Lionel Messi embarrassed himself for snitching to Slavko Vincic, pleading with the referee to brandish a red card after Marc Cucurella dared to put his hand to his mouth. The full-time scenes were even more debasing for Argentina, losing their heads in such a manner it made their first-half roughhouse tactics in the semi-final against England look like child’s play. This is the way the Geopolitics World Cup ends, not with a bang but a thump from Leandro Paredes. Stay classy, lads. With no little hyperbole, Trump proudly proclaimed the GWC to have been “one of the greatest events of any kind ever held”. Does that sentiment hold muster? Well, it’s certainly been the biggest World Cup ever, with more teams, more matches, even more hosts than ever before. But of the 104 games (up from 64 in 2022), many have felt like a slog. UK readers, can you look Football Daily in the eye and truthfully say you stayed up until 3am to watch the conclusion of Ecuador 0-0 Curaçao? There has been plenty to enjoy, of course. Cape Verde were a genuine breath of fresh air, the only nation to play Spain and come away unscathed, while their near-miss in the last 32 against Argentina will be forever etched in World Cup folklore – oh what might have been but for Messi’s genius. We hope to see the Cape Verde lads back in 2030. Belgium’s late comeback to down Senegal was pure cinema, while England’s 6-4 win over France will live longer in the memory than a third-place playoff should simply for its pure weirdness.Football 1-0 Sh!thousery.

Enzo Fernandez's 2026 World Cup ended in misery as the Chelsea midfielder was sent off in Argentina's final defeat to Spain. The 25-year-old had already been booked for showing dissent towards referee Slavko Vincic when he made a poor challenge on Pau Cubarsi in the last minute of normal time. Fernandez was subsequently sent off and received Argentina's first red card at a World Cup since 2006.
Argentina fell to Spain in the 2026 World Cup final, and Lionel Scaloni addressed his team's defeat. Argentina‘s bid for back-to-back titles came up short on Sunday, falling to Spain in the 2026 World Cup final. In the aftermath, Lionel Scaloni faced the media not with excuses, but with a message of gratitude toward the group that carried Argentina all the way to the final. The manager, who has now led Argentina to a World Cup title and a runner-up finish in consecutive editions, chose to focus on the effort his players put in rather than dwell on the result itself. “Sadness, but knowing that we left everything out there. I have a lot of things I could say about how we got here, but it’s not worth it. I’m grateful to these boys for what they did to get us this far. We’re great in victory, and we have to show that we’re great in defeat too,” Scaloni said. Despite the disappointment of falling short of a second consecutive title, the coach was adamant that the run to the final shouldn’t be diminished by the way it ended, framing the campaign as something for the country to be proud of regardless of the scoreline. Lionel Scaloni, Head Coach of Argentina, reacts after receiving the silver medal. (Getty Images) “We lost, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to stop remembering everything we did to get here. If you leave everything out there like they did today, it’s a great example for our people, for the country. I do remember the runners-up, because it’s incredibly hard just to get this far. Obviously we would have liked to win, but that’s how it is. When you leave everything out there like that, it’s very hard to reproach anything,” he added. Scaloni addresses Enzo Fernandez’s red card Enzo Fernandez was sent off in the closing stages of the final, first picking up a yellow card in the 82nd minute for complaining before receiving a second in the 90+2 for a hard challenge on Pau Cubarsi. The ejection left Argentina to play the entirety of extra time with 10 men, a disadvantage that proved decisive when Ferran Torres scored the winner in the second period of extra time to give Spain a 1-0 victory. Asked about the sending-off afterward, Scaloni didn’t hide his frustration with how it unfolded. “I think the referee could have avoided the first one. I was talking to him in some odd English of mine. I think there are things that could have been avoided. But that’s it, there are no complaints. We have to give credit to our rivals. I would have liked to see what would have happened if we’d stayed with 11,” Scaloni explained during the press conference. Scaloni pays tribute to Messi Asked about Messi’s place in the squad after his final World Cup appearance, Scaloni didn’t hold back in his praise for the captain. “He’s 39 years old, it’s an incredible thing. I was always clear that he was going to play for as long as he wanted to. I hope he’s proud of his teammates, I think he is. In my opinion, he’s the best footballer to ever step onto a football pitch,” the Argentina coach s.
Ferran Torres scored the opening goal for Spain in the 2026 World Cup against Argentina in extra time to give La Roja the avantage. Spain has finally broken the deadlock in a highly defensive 2026 FIFA World Cup final at MetLife Stadium. Despite dominant spells of possession throughout regulation, La Roja found a way past a resilient Argentine defensive unit and a heavily active Emiliano Martinez with Ferran Torres scoring the winning goal in extra time. While dominating possession and creating the bulk of the chances against a 10-man Argentina squad—following Enzo Fernandez’s late red card—Spain was initially unable to shatter the 0-0 stalemate. The defining breakthrough finally arrived in the 106th minute, right at the start of the second half of extra time. Spain bypassed Argentina’s defensive lines with a well-targeted long ball over the top. Nico Williams chased it down, making a brilliant run behind the backline before heading a precise pass back toward the center of the box. Ferran Torres anticipated the bounce perfectly, unleashing a powerful half-volley that left Martinez with no chance to save, putting Spain ahead 1-0. IT'S FERRAN TORRES IN THE FIFA WORLD CUP FINAL 🇪🇸THE ENTIRE SPAIN BENCH GOES TO CELEBRATE WITH HIM! pic.twitter.com/RVRXvnyOXG— FOX Sports (@FOXSports) July 19, 2026 Ferran Torres and a clutch World Cup run Despite not being a locked-in starter for Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente, Ferran Torres managed to make a massive impact from the substitutes’ bench during the 2026 World Cup, particularly when the team was desperate to break a deadlock. His first clutch moment came in the Round of 16 against Portugal, when he entered the match in the 75th minute for Alex Baena. In the 91st minute of that cagey affair, he delivered a pinpoint pass to Mikel Merino, who scored the lone goal of the game to send Spain through to the quarterfinal round. Once again, when it mattered most and with Spain searching for a solution, Torres subbed into the match in the 61st minute for Mikel Oyarzabal, sliding into a center-forward role. The bold gamble by De la Fuente paid off beautifully, as the Barcelona forward found his space on the pitch to score the biggest goal of the tournament and secure Spain its second World Cup star.
