SHREWSBURY, England (AP) — Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney appear to have FA Cup fever — just like their soccer club Wrexham.
The Hollywood stars were watching from their homes in the United States as Wrexham won 1-0 at local rival Shrewsbury, a team from one division higher in English soccer's pyramid, in the third round of the famous competition on Sunday.
The Welsh club will find out on Monday its opponent in the fourth round — or the last 32 — and there's a good chance it will be a team from the Premier League.
That would excite Reynolds and McElhenney, who bought Wrexham for $2.5 million in 2021 and made the club the subject of popular fly-on-the-wall TV documentary “Welcome to Wrexham.”
