"Oh yeah, there's loads and loads of The Wizard of Oz in Ted Lasso," Goldstein, who also writes for the show, told Entertainment Weekly.
"The pinball machine is the one that's always 'Ted has to go home. There's no place like home.' And then, there's no place like Richmond F.C. Yes, that's all Wizard of Oz," Goldstein expanded.
"Ted is Dorothy, Rebecca's the Lion, and the Scarecrow is Jamie," he added, referring to Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, and Phil Dunster.
"Eagle-eyed fans of the show will know that actually, the Oz influences have been peppered throughout the show's three seasons - for example, via the The Wizard of Oz branded pinball machine."
