“Spank the United States of America” – Gareth Bale’s Wales Get a Fan in an Animated Ryan Reynolds

Gareth Bale will lead the Welsh national team in the upcoming World Cup. Wales has participated in just one World Cup in their history, reaching the quarter-finals in 1958. However, they failed to qualify for any of the soccer world cups for 64 years until the 2022 Qatar World Cup. Wales’ golden generation players have a heavy responsibility on their shoulders and are expected to better their 1958 performance.

Gareth Bale emerged as a hero in the United States with a 128th-minute goal for Los Angeles FC, helping them win the MLS Cup. However, Hollywood superstar Ryan Reynolds wants him to turn villain against the USMNT next week.

Gareth Bale left Real Madrid earlier this summer after winning his fifth Champions League. He spent eight seasons with Los Blancos before leaving the club as a free agent. He signed with the MLS side Los Angeles FC on a one-year deal with options through 2024.

Bale mostly played as a substitute for the LA-based side. However, he scored an all-important goal for the club in the 128th-min to equalize the score at 3-3. LAFC went on to win the MLS Cup in penalties.
