Tom Hanks says Women’s World Cup should be played on grass

FIFA is waiting to hear what Wilson thinks.

The 2015 Women's World Cup will be played on turf, much to the chagrin of the players. A group of players have threatened a lawsuit because of the surface, and Megan Rapinoe has called playing it on turf "bullshit."

The players want the tournament venues changed to a grass surface, and they have Tom Hanks’ support.

So if FIFA don’t want to listen to world class athletes that will play in the tournament, they can listen to Tom Hanks.
