  • WHAT OLSON & MCELHENNEY SAID

    After declaring herself Wrexham's "co-chairwoman by marriage", Olson said: "Anyway, the Wrexham AFC Women's team is playing the Portland Thorns during their first-ever summer tour and I will be there because, as you know, I am from Portland, and I'll also probably be playing in the game."

    When a puzzled McElhenney denied his wife's claim, she replied: "They might ask me to."

    After the actor gave up fighting her on the matter, he said: "Come watch Kaitlin tear her hamstring."

    "My hamstrings are going to be fine," she replied.
