(Ryan Reynolds himself, who owns the Welsh football club Wrexham FC, is a little fuzzy on what…

When you’re watching a game of professional soccer, the action can look almost like a well-choreographed dance. But if you’re not familiar with all the ins and outs of the sport (the offsides rule is confusing, OK?), it can be hard to figure out exactly what’s going on in each play.
