“Relegation and Promotion Creates Stakes Like Nothing Else” – Wrexham Owner Ryan Reynolds After Dramatic Win Over Notts County

Relegation and promotion are among the biggest stakes when it comes to the sport of soccer. Every year, teams face off in a battle to succeed in their respective leagues. At the end of the season, the teams ultimately, either get promoted or get relegated. This has also been the case recently for Wrexham AFC, owned by Ryan Reynolds

For the past 15 years, the Welsh team has been playing in the fifth division of the English league system. However, their recent win against their rival Notts County has reignited their dream of promotion to the fourth division.

After weeks of anticipation and months of tension, Wrexham held off Notts County to finish with a score of 3-2. This win has pushed Wrexham to the top of the standings in the National League and put them in a good position to gain promotion to the fourth division.

Ryan Reynolds had a lot to say after the Wrexham match

It is no secret that Ryan Reynolds, owner of football club, heavily supports his team and wants to see them in a better division. After their nerve-wracking encounter, Reynolds expressed his feelings and his love for the sport. “This is the most romantic game on earth. It was one of the most unique situations,” the Deadpool star said. “My voice is shot from screaming.”

“Everything about the sport and the way the sport is handled here, the pyramid system, relegation, and promotion, creates stakes like nothing else,” Reynolds added. The veteran actor’s comment expresses the feeling of exhilaration and pride that is felt when a team is promoted and the devastation when a team is relegated. This feeling is something that has been missing from the MLS.

MLS lacks such high stakes in their structure

Major League Soccer is one of the few soccer leagues in the world to not have the concept of relegation and promotion. MLS has a unique league and knockout structure with no chance of falling or going up. While it may have some advantages, it does have drawbacks, such as lower stakes and excitement among fans.

Without relegation or promotion, there is no real high tension between the teams. This can be one of the reasons why many American fans consider Wrexham to be more popular than MLS. Whatever the case may be, it definitely is a noteworthy notion.
