Wrexham's final friendly as part of their US tour took an astonishing four hours to complete - and co-owner Rob McElhenney poked fun at the unfortunate delay.
The Welsh club have faced some of football's elite sides in the States, taking on Chelsea and Manchester United.
Although they took on a young United side - recorded a 3-1 victory - they faced a near full-strength Chelsea squad, losing 5-0.

Inbetween, Phil Parkinson's side took on LA Galaxy's second team, winning 4-0.
As Wrexham prepare for their first crack at League Two since the 2007/08 season, it can be argued that no other team in the division have been able to experience the same glitz and glamour in pre-season.
Their US tour, perhaps fittingly, ended in Philadelphia on Friday - the location of McElhenney's hit US sitcom 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia'.

Unfortunately for the Red Dragons, the state didn't live up to its moniker for their clash with Philadelphia Union II.
Wrexham game takes four hours to finish
The match itself ended in a 1-1 draw, with midfielder Tom O'Connor getting on the scoresheet for Wrexham.
At the beginning of the fixture, extreme heat and humidity descended on Philadelphia, with Wrexham basking in the sunlight after O'Connor's early opener.

But the heat soon subsided, to be replaced by another extreme - a thunderstorm.
Having kicked off at 7:30pm local time, it was 11pm by the time the second half finally got underway, with conditions deemed playable to complete the match.
Understandably, therefore, the second half lacked the tempo of the first, and a fully-changed Wrexham XI could not find the winning goal.
McElhenney - but not his co-owner Ryan Reynolds, who is back in the UK - was watching the game live at Subaru Park, and managed to get an update across to the Deadpool star via his Instagram story.

He wrote: "Hey Ryan, still at the match.
"There was a little bit of a rain delay, by about four hours. For some reason we're still playing.
"In the UK you can probably still watch the rest of it. There are still some people shouting Wrexham, still lots of people that remain.
"Up the Town - let's hope we don't get struck by lightning."

Reynolds and McElhenney have experienced plenty of firsts on their incredible journey at Wrexham - but extreme weather and a near three-hour rain delay hadn't yet made their list before last night.
They'll hoping that when the League Two campaign kicks off, English weather will be a bit more settled - but don't count on it.
