— U.S. Soccer WNT (@ussoccer_wnt) June 30, 2015 USWNT recruits Tom Hanks to play Germany because of his ‘Saving Private Ryan’ experience
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Tom Hanks is a soccer fan, a BIG soccer fan. Last year during the World Cup he took a whole bunch of photos supporting the team, and this year he’s obviously standing with the USWNT. So much so that they’ve given him his own player card.
The whole thing is filled with movie references, but let’s chat about this one shall we?
“Look for him to come off the bench in the semifinal as he has some experience taking it to the Germans.”
Get it? Because he killed a bunch of German soldiers in Saving Private Ryan. There were a lot of ways this bio could go and this was certainly one of them. Watch out Germany, I guess ... Tom Hanks might be coming to kill you.
