Ryan Reynolds has Lionel Messi appeal! Fans go wild for Wrexham tickets after Inter Miami misery in MLS as Phil Parkinson makes selection promise for Vancouver Whitecaps friendly

The Whitecaps shifted over 50,000 entrance passes for a MLS fixture that was intended to bring eight-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi to Canada with his Inter Miami team-mates. The iconic Argentine ended up being rested for said fixture, leaving many supporters frustrated and out of pocket.

Another big draw is, however, heading to B.C. place, with Hollywood superstar Reynolds set to bring Wrexham to his home town on July 27. Tickets are selling so fast that the Whitecaps have already made more available in their upper bowl, with general sale going live on Wednesday morning.

While Messi did not pass through Vancouver with Inter Miami, Red Dragons boss Phil Parkinson has vowed to have all of his stars on show when the likes of Paul Mullin, Elliot Lee and James McClean head to North America. He has said in The Star: “All the players will be there. All the key players who’ve been on this journey with us will figure into that game, because it’s an important match for us.”

Wrexham will also be in action against Premier League outfits Bournemouth and Chelsea during their West Coast tour, with games in Santa Barbara and Santa Clara taking place on July 20 and 24 respectively. Those fixtures are helping to ready Parkinson’s side for life in League One.
