In this episode, World Soccer Talk hosts Christopher Harris and Kartik Krishnaiyer take a look at FX’s hit series Welcome to Wrexham and discuss why pro/rel is or isn’t a non-starter in this country. We also discuss issues of ownership, community, television coverage for the lower leagues, as well as what makes this series different from the other two popular football shows, ‘Sunderland ‘Til I Die’ and ‘Ted Lasso’. We also went on a tangent and discussed whether it’s possible for the US Soccer Federation to establish its own breakaway soccer league in the United States in competition with Major League Soccer.
