​@bossman5370 respectfully, they've brought massive interest to this sport in the United States, where it's been underwhelmingly received for decades.

[@antonironstag5085]

Terrible interviewer. Saying "and of COURSE Ryan Reynolds" and making Rob seem less important even though its a PARTNERSHIP. Not to mention Wrexham fans even have a song for Rob! Fair play to Ryan too for picking up on that and throwing the attention off himself so Rob can talk. True partnership!

[@PunisherWorld]

Staying in the league is best thing for Wrexham

[@markdorman]

Exactly right. Survival- consolidate and then promotion. They do have a considerable advantage in player signing as its quite a Glam gig compared to other teams in that league. That should give them an edge.

[@jamsams]

Was this a serious comment 4 months ago? You doubted them staying in the league? They only way they will leave it is via promotion.

[@martinconnors5195]

They're such a magical duo, and so down-to-earth, likable

[@TheAccidentalViking]

I'm actively disinterested in professional sports and even more-so with football (soccer). But I'm totally reeled in with the Wrexham story and team. For me, it's all about the story telling and lyrical narrative. It doesn't hurt that this happened in parallel with Ted Lasso, which, despite it's professional sport theme, roped me in for all the same reasons. Da iawn!

Idk why a minority of people have been sour on Rob & Ryan. They are capitalists, sports fans, and people with best intentions. Their dedication to hiring the right staff and trusting the staff and players led to promotion. Ideal owners if you ask me.

[@Heathen.Deity.]

Plus MK Dons are predicted to be at least playoff contenders according to most bookies. It’s not like they played one of the weaker teams to start their life back in the league.

[@TheIncredibleBeard_]

Is there really that much difference in quality between the national League and League 2? Wrexham is going to be the team everyone in that league wants to beat. It's going to be interesting to see how the players handle being 'that team' this season.

[@gargaj]

Losing the first game of the season is the best thing that can happen to a team - gives a perspective, reveals all the problems, gets the frustration out and the determination in. The way they played against Wigan afterwards showed that.

[@johnbell2722]

Recruitment has been poor this pre season for wrexham , still short of 2 quality signings if we want a chance of promotion, parky and whoever is in talks with new players or enquiring about them hopefully get a couple in soon , or it could well be a season of if only. Pressure is on the management staff to get it right and that's why they are paid well. Very early days.

Might be just beyond us due to the recruitment being slow and quiet this time so strengthen the squad more but still few weeks left yet, to bring a couple of quality players in, that could make all the difference.

And it came down to earth with a bump........ but the signs are good. All they need to do, don't let one result get to you, one game at a time, then wait to see where you end up. Think the bookies may be a bit wrong, I've seen them as favourites for promotion - - - - think they'll be happy with top half this year - then progress. But no matter what happens, they've increased the popularity of the game, shone a light on the town....... and then a certain Mr Brady gets involved with Birmingham (well, he can afford to)

Americans seriously underestimate how many European and specifically English NFL fans there are, and Europeans and specifically the British seriously underestimate how many American soccer fans there are. And for the record, when I first started to get into the sport, I called it football. But as I felt less like a "guest" and more like I didn't have to "prove" I was a fan of the game, I went back to calling it soccer. Not because soccer is a better name, but because I want to fully embrace building our own soccer culture instead of just trying to imitate the culture of other places, and calling it soccer is part of that American soccer culture.
