Landon Donovan, Bill Clinton and Morgan Freeman argue our case to FIFA, so the US might host the World Cup in 2018. Which is great… but Morgan Freeman? Landon Donovan: sure. Bill Clinton: yes, makes sense. But Morgan Freeman? I love him, but why?
Because he played Nelson Mandela in a soccer-related movie? Because, despite a breakout role as a street pimp, he’s still a model for integrity and decency and what-we-want-to-be-as-Americans? Because he’s so stylish and graceful and talented and he’s basically just so beloved that we’ll send him out as a national ambassador for just about anything now?
Yeah, sure. I’m on our side for this one after all.
USA! USA! USA!

We sent Morgan Freeman, Bill Clinton, and Landon Donovan to present our case for the USA to host the 2022 World Cup. Now, I know it’s an antagonizing 12 years off, but, ohhhh I want this bad for us.
