Fame hasn't changed our favorite Welsh football team.
When news first broke about actors Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds buying a Welsh soccer team, it was so random that it felt like a prank. Then, when FX came out with Welcome to Wrexham after the roaring success of shows like Ted Lasso, I'll be the first to admit that the concept sounded like a gimmick. After all, even though there are a lot of lovers of soccer in the United States, it's far from our favorite sport.
Wrexham might have lost some of the sheen of being an underdog — after all, how many underdogs have whole FX docuseries based around them? It's clear when they have games that the owners of the club become easy punching bags for the team.
In many ways, this focus gives the show a needed boost and evolution. We are still invested in the men's team making it to Level Two, but the women's team has more to overcome. For one, their players are amateurs, as in they are not paid to play football. All the women have day jobs and then, on top of that, they're also volunteering their time to play the sport they love. The top scorer in Wrexham isn't Mullin or Ollie Palmer, it's Rosie Hughes.
