Summary
The point is (he thinks, only slightly berating himself over his ill-advised glass of tasteless airplane wine, en route from Cincinnati to—) that no one asked him to spend a week with the New England Revolution, or a week and a half bouncing between the New York Red Bulls and New York City Football Club, or eight days with FC Cincinnati, or two weeks (two weeks, Crimm? Are you sure about this?) with Sporting Kansas City.
In which Trent has an extremely valid excuse to end up in Kansas City for two weeks, because, like, "sports journalism" and "articles" and "long-form research." Mm-hmm. He's totally writing a very objective and thorough account of "soccer" in America, or at least that's the pitch that got him sent around the country for several months.
And then he skives off with one Ted Lasso.

Summary
Ted has one or two conversations that he is not entirely prepared for over a beverage.
(note: takes place during Lafayette Comes to America, the main fic in this series. If you don't want to know anything of what Ted is thinking/doing until Trent finds out about it in that fic, don't read until Lafayette is over, probably. choose your own reading experience!)
