As for the special guest, it‘s FC 25 Coins none other than YouTuber and The Fault in Our Stars author John Green, who gives the audience a quick Crash Course-style rundown on the country of Wales, how it came to be, why signs all over Wrexham are also written in the Welsh language, and to explain why football stars like Gareth Bale represent Wales at the FC World Cup, but the country plays under Great Britain‘s flag at the Olympics.
Why is Green the man for the job? Well, like Reynolds and McElhenney, Green also became deeply involved with a low-tier English side just one division above Wrexham, AFC Wimbledon. While Green is not Wimbledon‘s owner, he‘s dedicated a ton of time to the team on his YouTube channel, though that didn‘t prevent the team from getting relegated last season - in any case, it‘s clear these three have a lot in common now.
"Wide World of Wales" works mostly like a variety show of sorts, it‘s a small detour for Welcome to Wrexham to make something out of the two Hollywood stars‘ comedy chops, though it‘s certainly no Deadpool.

The chapter is a good nod to English football teams, especially the Premier League, and their lack of patience with buy EA FC Coins new managers which statistically far exceeds the number of coaches being fired in American sports or even most football leagues around the world, and is the very reason why Ted Lasso's job is always on the line.
