It took 90 minutes for Wrexham AFC [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/soccer/wrexham-afc/] to learn a hard lesson. The Premier League giants Chelsea thrashed the Reds 5-0 in its first friendly in the US tour. The Blues were all over the Welsh club, giving them no chance of a comeback. And after a disappointing loss, the club’s co-owner Rob McElhenney has sent a warning to Chelsea. The English soccer club made a meal of Wrexham by thumping them 5-0. It took less than three minutes for the Londoners to open the scoring. The Blues dominated the game from start to finish. As a result, the Red Dragons had their first shot on target in the 78th minute. But despite this thumping, McElhenney has thanked Chelsea, but with a friendly warning. WREXHAM CO-CHAIRMAN HAS SET HIS SIGHT ON THE PREMIER LEAGUE Despite fans brutally trolling Wrexham and Ryan Reynolds, Rob McElhenney garnered attraction with an epic tweet. The Reds co-owner took to Twitter after the 5-0 loss and wrote, “Thank You Chelsea!!! Hopefully we’ll see you again in 5 years or so:)” Well, that’s some ambition from the ‘It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia’ star.

<h2>History</h2>
The history of modern soccer can be dated back to the mid-nineteenth century when local clubs in England came forward and established a set of rules, leading to the formation of the Football Association in London, England, on 26 October 1863. A total of 11 soccer clubs were present at the first meeting of the FA, along with representatives from different schools. Eight years after its culmination, the FA had 50 member clubs. In 1872, the association started the world's oldest competition to this date: the FA Cup. Since the FA Cup was a knockout competition, 12 clubs decided to start the Football League. It was the top-tier league competition in England till 1992. However, in 1992, 22 teams decided to split and formed the Premier League.
