Wrexham is a tiny but historic team from a hardscrabble town in Wales. Manchester United is possibly the world’s most famous soccer club, with roughly 650 million fans. It’s a matchup that wouldn’t have made any sense three years ago. One friendly seemed particularly noteworthy this summer: Manchester United versus Wrexham AFC. Last week, as Messi fever gripped Florida, I witnessed a completely different soccer mania 3,000 miles away in San Diego.įor a couple decades now, Europe’s - particularly England’s - top teams have been visiting the United States for lucrative branding and revenue-generating opportunities - otherwise known as preseason exhibition matches, or “friendlies” in soccer parlance.
