The yellow signs with blue handwritten font appeared on bridges, schools, farms and city skylines in locales like Chicago, Dallas, New York, Seattle and San Diego.

“Lasso’s personal messages to each individual team member will encourage local support for the hometown hero and build on the excitement for Team USA!” the show shared in a statement.

In addition to the massive signs, personal messages to the athletes will appear in local newspapers ahead of 2022 FIFA World Cup, which will be played from Nov. 20 to Dec. 18 in Qatar.

Meanwhile, Sudeikis' co-creator and costar Brendan Hunt is preparing for the World Cup with his and Rebecca Lowe’s new Apple podcastAfter the Whistle, which premiered Thursday.

Writer and costarBrett Goldsteinpreviously told the Sunday Timesthat the upcoming third season is intended to be the show’s last. “We are writing it like that. It was planned as three [seasons],” he said, joking: “Spoiler alert — everyone dies.”

Sudeikis discussed the three-season plan in June, explaining on theTodayshow that it was their “negotiation tactic” to get the show made. “I thought it was super cocky of us to think we’d make it to three. That was just swagger that has now manifested into actually having to do it. It’s frightening,” he said.
