"Ted Lasso" writes motivational billboards for U.S. Men's National Team

Just one more reason you have to love Coach Ted Lasso - Yes, the fictional character from the Emmy Award winning Apple TV hit series "Ted Lasso."

The FIFA 2022 World Cup kicks off November 20 and the U.S. Mens National Team is getting some individual motivation from the famous coach, played by Jason Sudeikis.

Billboards began popping up in the hometowns of each player on the team with individual messages signed "Ted Lasso." They appeared in San Diego, Seattle, Pico Rivera, Calif. and even Bergen County, N.J.

The official Ted Lasso Twitter account even posted: "Like most M. Night completists, I believe in signs. Go get ‘em, boys!" (If you haven't seen the show, Coach Lasso has a sign that says "Believe" above his office door to remind his players to not give up)
