Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney talk new docuseries l GMA 

I'm from Wrexham and these two have done more for the community than anyone else in me eyes, the whole town and area is buzzing since they took over there's an air of 'we can do this we really can'. The passion from the Wrexham supporters at the game brings a shiver down your spine it really does, thank you to all our new supporters across the pond and around the world we really do appreciate it. Diolch Y Fawr ( Thank You in Welsh ).

"I now love this sport so much, I hate it" Ryan has fully become a football fanatic 😂

I love Ryan uses the word 'Stewardship', not 'Ownership', like he is respectful of the fact that they are in service of the club, and it's their duty to take care of it, and it's not just a possession they own.

Wrexham lad here. LOVE the fact that Rob is straight in there with 'football not soccer'

"I love this sport so much i hate it" Ryan really does get it then 🤣 Rob however really shows his genuine care for a community based club and gets what a club like Wrexham means to working class family as his club the Eagles meant that to him and his when he was a lad

as a welsh wrexham fan i can tell you folks over the pond i now follow the eagles and watch canadian hockey. these owners are fantastic ppl and they put their money where their mouth is. thankyou rob and ryan we are so privaleged to have such great owners.now thats enough kiss ass lets get promoted !!!!!!

Ryan is such an amazing ambassador for Canada. He truly embodies all the qualities we hold so dear as Canadians.

The town/city are loving these two guys

I've been to Wrexham many times - if a town ever deserved this - it's Wrexham. It was destroyed by de-industrialisation. The people are wonderful. The place has heart. Rob and Ryan, please don't let them down.

West Ham fan here, I've just started watching the series and I think it's fantastic - I look out for Wrexham's results now 👍

Even my wife who hates football, absolutely loved ' Welcome to Wrexham ' Great video!

I'm not a Wrexham fan, and I couldn't be more pleased for their fans that they have owners that understand the community aspect and can bring one of our great old clubs of the Football League back.

It's really great these two wonderful men are spreading and promoting Wrexham in the USA

I'm a big fan of Ryan and Rob! It's always sunny is my favourite show.

"some people think football is a matter of life and death, I assure you its much more important than that" I go to the same stadium to watch the same team that my great grandfather did over 100 years ago, Its in our DNA, Wrexham play in the 5th tier of English and Welsh football, but I guarantee you their fans are as passionate about their club as any premier league club, and with our system of promotion and relegation no matter how far down the leagues a club falls the fans always have hopes and dreams, Its what makes the atmosphere so good compared to any other sport, loving watching the resurgence of Wrexham AFC from a Wolves fan

A couple of things that made me smile since they went to Wrexham. When they showed plans of the new bar at the ground Ryan asked if it would effect pub trade opposite. And Rob learning Welsh. You lot have done well all the best

Both of them are awesome guys. Wrexham football club are lucky to have owners like them and i genuinely want the club to succeed under their ownership. As a Liverpool fan i now have a non league club to cheer on and kick off bew football manager seasons with. Good luck Ryan, Rob and Wrexham AFC

🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 We are so VERY proud of OUR amazing Ryan & now honourary Canadian Rob! As a first generation Canadian of a Welsh mom, I say GO GENTLEMAN!!! Help bring the joys and heartbreaks of football ⚽️ to North America!!!

In love with the docuseries!

It has to be said: If Ryan Reynolds is involved in this, it’s in good hands. He is such a good honest hardworking man & genuinely cares about other humans & our planet. So nice to see both of them team up to do good things together. Looking forward to all they will accomplish.

It's honestly very endearing to see what's happening to Wrexham FC.....Two owners who know nothing of the sport and end up falling in love with it. The history and people of Wrexham are incredibly special........How can you not be Romantic about Football?

Rooting for Wrexham is the easiest thing in the world, Americans have the luxury of hopping on multiple bandwagons. Seeing Wrexham get promoted is something I cannot wait to see. It's inspiring to see what they're doing for a club that truly deserves it.

This is Ted Lasso come into reality and embracing the Wrexham community is so endearing. Good cop bad cop between Ryan and Rob, I'm hoping someday will show you both in uniforms and aviators. I'm from Ireland and a huge fan 💋

“Hire people who know what they’re doing and get out of way” Is probably the best business owner advice anyone can give.

To hear the talk about Wrexham Afc with so much respect to a USA audience. Well done just well done

I wish they owned Man Utd !!!! Go Wrexham … love the documentary. Wishing you all the best of luck 🤞

I wish them every success,they deserve it.I'm an AFC Wimbledon (south London) fan,you will be playing us next year if you get promoted.See you both at Pough Lane.God Bless you boys.

I binged all episodes yesterday. Did not google the results beforehand. Great story. Want more!

The docuseries was SO excellent (I never gave a damn about the game, or any sport, before this) that I'm in full withdrawals. Wish they'd just've kept going and given us the continuing years. Forever. Damn you, Rob & Ryan!

As a Stockport fan we all know what happens at the end of season and the banter we created between ourselves and Wrexham it was a great season after we beat Bolton 5-3 and then it was all uphill

I just really love these two. Using their fame to uplift others.

What I like about these two is that they are not afraid of being called "Mr. Nice Guy".

I am a fan of the sport and I never heard of wrexham prior to R&R buying the team. These two appear to be 2 honest guys with good intentions and it caught my attention. I watched the show and been following their progress. Now, I watched their FA cup games and follow their progress on a weekly basis. I can say I am a fan of wrexham! They fight and fight I love it. You guys are lucky to have these two guys as owners.

Great interview. I love that Rob & Ryan truly respect the club, the Wrexham community & supporters. I'm from Alabama and I've supported Liverpool for 33 years, It's great to see owners who truly care about the club and their supporters. I wish Wrexham all the best with promotion and success as the club moves forward.

Well done guys as a Welsh guy from Newport South Wales in the UK yesterday payed off and well done to Wrexham for winning and the promotion up a league and winning the league happy days.

I am very envious of their journey. Go Wrexham!

Blessed to have two such wonderful owners at my football club

Ohh Rob and Ryan, welcome welcome welcome to the wonderfully amazing, heartbreakingly frustrating, lovely world of FOOTBALL🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳World Cup 2022 let’s go!! And to Wrexham AFC cheers cheers!!

I'm from Ireland, love these guys and the history of Wrexham FC. Love the date on the Jersey and also their faith in a few Irish players. Congratulations on promotion to the championship, the fans can dare to dream of premier league status in a few seasons. I for one will be a fan 👏👏🙏🇮🇪

As an Albion fan for 60 years Ryan summed football up exactly of how a fanatical fan feels. You love the club and game so much that you hate it because of the wringer it puts you through.

Watching Wrexham in Australia ...the show will be fantastic if on they end this amazing season with automatic promotion, 4 games to go!!

Gotta say, one of the things I thought the two lads did well was support the players through the disappointments of the first season. It promised so much but they fell at the last hurdle only to have these gentlemen tell them how good they have been for the community. Respect.

Ryan is really good at painting a picture with his words

Apart from anything else it's just a really good docu-series.

What a year 2023 turned out to be for Wrexham!

This has brightened my morning. A life long Wrecsam supporter here. I've been to Cae Ras more times than I can remember. Da Iawn boys!

Yes, FOOTBALL CLUB ⚽️

I've watched all 18!! It's spectacular!! Man Ron and Ryan are great!!, wonderful people! Great story of their friendship in my opinion apart from an amazing hearts towards The community 😊💪👏😒

Damn that was highly entertaining. Everybody on that set flowed beautifully together. Reynolds is hysterical

The University of Oxford, in England coined the term "soccer", it is a British term that of course was adopted here in the U.S. So when Brits complain that Americans call it soccer, just keep in mind, it came from England as that was the nickname for the sport IN ENGLAND. "Linguistically creative students at the University of Oxford in the 1880s distinguished between the sports of “rugger” (rugby football) and “assoccer” (association football). The latter term was further shortened to “soccer” (sometimes spelled “socker”), and the name quickly spread beyond the campus."

Our Canadian icon. Love this guy

it's impossible not to love Ryan...

Ok Ryan is so funny, comedy is so natural to him

So proud to be Welsh! Diolch yn fawr i'r ddau yma!! 💙 xxx

I love the show, and I've never watched soccer in my life. I binged all the episodes available a few days ago.

I'm an Oxford United fan, but I've also found myself looking at Wrexham's results, because I'm curious to see how far Rob and Ryan can take them. They could have spent their money on anything but chose to buy a football club. Good luck to them.

For those wondering, association football ⚽️ and gridiron football 🏈 used to be a perfect distinction between the two until both dropped the adjective and just said football. Rugby 🏉 fans took the other route and dropped the word football and just called it Rugby. Gridiron (American) football 🏈 actually did use their feet to advance the ball forward from 1869-1906. Then in October 1906, the forward pass was legalized; and no one bothered to change the name.

Rob & Ryan buying Wrexham and making the docuseries has transformed me into a superfan. I'm online daily trying to buy uniform shirts to show my support. Store is always completely sold out.

I already love Rob and Ryan but these sports presenters were wholesome as well, they seemed genuinely interested and everyone had good vibes. Wholesome all round.

This is a GREAT show. It's not all love & hearts & everything working perfectly In 1 season. These are great actors and now we know they're so much more than what we thought. They're smart, caring and good businessmen. My only thing is they need more merchandise ordered up. They are literally out of clothing merch.

America is such a young nation... i mean, if the stadium is from the louisiana purchase era. . YIKES

The best thing thats happened to Wrexham in a long time. Well deserved. Great to see!

I love that Rob corrects her ❤

I wonder if there's anyone in the world that while being unbiased seriously could dislike/hate Ryan, it's impossible imo

didn't really know each other, didn't know anything about football, bought a club on the other side of the atlantic ocean...... makes sense.

This was so great!

Just fantastic. I moved to Canada in 1990 and Ryan & Rob are embracing this like they just bought the Maple Leafs! Hello, hello, we are the Wrexham Boys, Hello, hello, we shout and make a noise, We are the greatest in the land, and no one can deny, We will follow the Wrexham (butchered from Nottm. Forest) Cheers, and all the best from Penticton, BC.

Love this. So much respect for the club and its history. He said going to a game is like a religion for the fans. Its What you eat, sleep and breath. Im a United fan but have been following this for a while. Well done lads, keep on going.

Love that show! Ryan & Rob! The fans! Etc. I look forward to Thursday now. New episodes. If you haven’t seen it, check it out. You’ll love it!

Congratulations 🎉🎉

Makes me smile😊

Go on the boys. Fair play to them and the town of Wrexham. Brilliant stuff

YESSSSSSSSS OMGOSHES LOVE THEM BOTH !!

arsenal fan but these two seem like amazing owners and I hope they can get wrexham to the premier league one day

Currently sat second in their league. The third oldest professional club in the world are sat 3 points behind the oldest professional club in the world. That's just nuts. I remember going to the Racecourse with my school to watch Wales v Bulgaria in 1983 (I think). We were behind the goal where the winning goal was scored and I recently found a very grainy clip of that match. I'm amongst the kids jumping up and down behind that goal. That side of the ground is now derelict as the club couldn't afford to meet the new requirement for all-seater stadiums after the Hillsborough disaster. Hopefully someone can come in and inject a bit more cash to renovate it (Rob'n'Ryan can't be expected to pay for everything).

The fact they defend the term football vs soccer whilst addressing an American audience highlights how much they are fully invested in the team.

Hey Ryan as a Canadian my self...i am gonna change my team from New Castle ...Now i am gonna ride the wave with you and Wrexham Fans...what a cool name for any sports team....Hello Wrexham from North Bay Ontario Canada...gonna order both away and home jerseys.

I'm not a Wrexham fan. But I find myself wanting to do very well and climb the leagues. I even watch their games now from time to time when I can find one.

Just love em, great for Wrexham

Rob: "That's the key to ownership. Stay out of the locker room. Hire people who know what they're doing and get out of the way!" Someone needs to tell Todd Boehly (Chelsea FC owner) that! 😒

Diolch hogiau. It’s always sunny up here now. Hey oh!

6:08 - 6:40 - That's great. Now please, for the love of god, head over to Old Trafford and repeat that to the Glazers !!!!

Great show , they are currently in 1st. Routing for them to get promoted.

Congratulations on your championship AND PROMOTION TO THE EFL...! 🎉👏👏

Go wrexham!

This show just might get me back into football .

Canadian tells American about football ⚽

Even the King has been to visit them at their football ground.😮

"you own a soccer club?"...... No!.. They own Wrexham!!! 😂

''I love this sport so much that I HATE IT!!'' - this guy gets it. That's the test.

Good for Ryan for calling out American Football being called Football when they barely us their foot to kick the ball

Ah sure it’s great fun. Good luck fellas

Ryan not making fun of you true story every time I watch you your nervous hands move lol just a fan that you are the kindness, funniest guy an wait not bad looking at all.. Chow

They look like brothers.

"You're next" 😭

We Mexicans call it futbol 😉

So right - should be called gridiron, or handegg. Football there's only one ⚽

the other muricans having their minds blown with how old the stadium is lol

♡

The reason we call American Football "football": "Football" is actually a broad category of sports that all involve players moving a ball to an opposing side to score in a scoring area. They all involve kicking on some level and are all played with the body being the contact point with the ball (instead of a stick or bat). American Football, sometimes called "Gridiron", is a product of America's universities, specifically the Ivy League (which, at the time, simply referred to an athletic conference). In the mid-late 1800s, the schools in the Ivy League would regularly play against eachother in football matches, but each school had its own rules. Some were derived from Association Football (Which the British called "Soccer", hence why we Americans still call it that) and some were derived from Rugby Union Football, with the players using the rules of the home team for each match (keep in mind that this was not unusual: standardized rules for sports were only just starting to become common). This was chaotic; the rules changed depending on which school you were playing at and some schools would have a hard time setting up matches if their ruleset was too different from the others. Gradually, the schools combined elements of these different rules to create a standardized ruleset that all schools would play under, essentially a hybrid of Soccer and Rugby Union. Over the years, these rules were tweaked to what we now consider American Football. Special notice should be given to Yale's Walter Camp, who introduced many of the rules that make American Football unique. So, in short, it's called "Football" because it grew out of other football sports. There are actually many types of football around the world and exactly which one gets to be called simply "Football" depends on which one is most popular in the area.
