Brad Pitt: World Cup is 'world's greatest sporting event'

Not that into soccer? You might be now.

Brad Pitt has joined the USA Bid Committee to help the United States land the 2018 or 2022 World Cup.

"Soccer is a truly global sport and the opportunity to join the effort to have the U.S. host the world's greatest sporting event again is a great honor," Pitt said in a statement as he accepted the invitation today, reports AP.

Former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and comedian Drew Carey also are on the committee. FIFA's executive committee will select the 2018 and 2022 hosts in a vote on Dec. 2.
