I’ve found the last couple days that there is a contingent of fans who hate Wrexham because it’s taking attention away from American soccer.

There was an article talking about how ESPN was “pulling out all the stops”, and posted by someone saying they wished ESPN had given MLS this much attention. I thought meant they were elevating it to the main channel. Nope. Reading the article it was still only streamed on Plus, just getting a top commentating team.
Another was saying how Wrexham wouldn’t even make the USL playoffs. Which, even if that’s true, just makes it a better story that they’re a 5th level team in the Round of 32.
Looks like half the match-ups are going to a replay from this round.
Would it be unreasonable to call the 5th round the Round of 16? I get lost in the rounds.
I ask this of the great British public.

Chelsea is on the verge of a ?120 million deal for Enzo Fernandez. That would bring Chelsea's spending spree to ?2/3 billion since the ownership change.
Chelsea are also selling. Jorginho might be going to Arsenal and Gallagher to Everton or Newcastle. Jonjo Shelvey has gone from Newcastle to Nottingham Forest.
Cancelo has gone to Bayern on loan with an option to buy.
It's corporate synergy. The "Welcome to Wrexham" documentary is on FX, and available to stream on Hulu and Disney plus. Of course Disney-owned ESPN is going to be all over it. Not to mention the feel-good story about famous American owners coming to a town (now officially a city - King Charles himself came to Wrexham to bestow the honor) in Wales and taking one of the oldest football teams in the world up the British pyramid. It could easily be a Hollywood movie starring Ryan Reynolds, but instead it's happening in real life - and starring Ryan Reynolds.
