The EFL Championship kicks off today, this Friday! And by now, it’s teeming with more American superstars than a Netflix documentary or the Golden Globes.
Rob McElhenney (AFC Wrexham), Tom Brady (Birmingham City), and Snoop Dogg (Swansea City) have all become club owners in England’s second division.
And what do they have to say about the age-old football-or-soccer debate? “I bought a club that actually uses its feet,” Snoop Dogg explains, taking a jab at the USA.
Star quarterback Tom Brady, who owns seven Super Bowl rings and just as many mansions, seems almost moved when he talks about English second division football and the legendary “away days.” Has he, in his later years, discovered a love for the romance of sport after all?
Meanwhile, actor Rob McElhenney is probably already dreaming of the next season of Ted Lasso.
The American superstars are still raving for now. But will they still talk like that after spending a rainy Tuesday night in Stoke?
