Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have been making headlines along the way as they embark on an exciting journey with Wrexham. The Hollywood duo recently led the Welsh side to an empathic promotion as they continue to surprise everyone in the soccer world.
Both have splurged a lot of cash ever since they arrived at the club. They have also endured huge losses, but somehow managed to cover them up. However, this time they have once again suffered a million-dollar blow.

After winning the promotion with Wrexham, Reynolds and McElhenney are trying out new things. The owners recently signed up for a unique friendly tournament that is happening in the United States. Both were in contention to make their debut as players in the seven-aside tournament.
While the actors couldn’t fulfill their debut, the team responded well without them, as they managed to perform significantly well. However, they crashed out of the competition after losing 4-3 against Conrad & Beasly United. However, they are not upset about losing out on silverware; rather, they have missed out on winning the $1 million prize.
This has enticed the soccer world to give their reactions on Twitter.
On to League 2 🫡 https://t.co/aKJ5Qa4IjR

Indeed, Reynolds must have hoped desperately to go till the end to win the competition. Furthermore, the prize money would have also helped him cover a few losses. Nevertheless, they will now be looking to focus on the upcoming new season.
