Childhood friends from Kearny, NJ, Tab Ramos, John Harkes, and Tony Meola representing the United States at the 1994 World Cup.
On Sunday, November 13, K+S will present a special screening of the brilliant soccer doc SOCCERTOWN, USA at the Wal Goch Festival in Wrexham, Wales.
Yes, that Wrexham.
Home of Wrexham AFC, famously owned by Hollywooders Ryan Reynolds and Rob McIlhenny and subject of the hit series Welcome to Wrexham.
The Wal Goch Festival is in its first year and is part of the Welsh celebration of their first World Cup appearance since 1958. Of course, they will face the US in their World Cup opener. So the screening will explore American soccer culture to help the Welsh fans prepare and get excited.
SOCCERTOWN, USA, which previously screened at K+S New York, is about the long history of Kearny, New Jersey, where US World Cup teammates Tony Meola, John Harkes, and Tab Ramos grew up together.
