Ryan Reynolds’ ‘Meme Team’ took a movie trope and made it real—thanks to Wrexham’s ‘Deadpool’ kick

Rob McElhenny and Ryan Reynolds teamed up to purchase Wales-based soccer team Wrexham A.F.C. for a fairy tale purpose. As AP puts it, the entertainment duo's plan for the "long-suffering club" was to get them into the Premier league.

And now, with a commanding 3-0 performance over Charlton Athletic on Saturday, it looks like that dream is coming closer to becoming a reality. Fans are largely attributing this Mighty Ducks-esque turn of events for the team's success to a clutch goal scored by Sam Smith.
