Kick, push.

You can forgive the USA football team – current World Cup odds: 225/1 – for not being too optimistic at present. With the Brazil World Cup only months away, team bigwigs have evidently decided the team need some sort of floor-crossing, fist-pumping motivational mascot – and they’ve plumped, naturally, for Lupe Fiasco.

As Complex report, the erratic Chicago rapper has been enlisted to serve as “Music Director” before and during the tournament. As it happens, the role doesn’t sound especially taxing: Lupe’s list of responsibilities includes building Spotify playlists for the team, showing his face at “Fan Appreciation Day” on May 30 in New York City, and performing at the, er, US Soccer Fan Fest.

Head here to swot up on Lupe’s duties. Weird – but then we’d take Lupe over this lumpen jingo-toss anyday.
