I’m not too familiar with soccer/football, but I’ve watched Ted Lasso for the second time and I still don’t fully grasp what total football is. Can anyone break this down to barney level for me? What exactly is total football? What are the pros and cons to it vs other styles of play? It just does not compute in my head.

There are defnse positons in the back and offense positions in the front. When the offense people goninto attack, they “leave their postion” and the defence player go from their defence positon into the offense postion. So everyone is attacking at the end. The otherway round if there is attack to defend every defender goes defending leaving their position and the offense players close in the defence position so every player is defending. Thats toral football.
This is very strong at the occurring situation but risky if something changes.
On the other hand players only do what their postion is meant to do, so at any moment in the gane, everything is covered but not as heavy
