J.J. Watt's hilarious interaction with USMNT star Christian Pulisic ahead of TST 2024

Ahead of participating in TST 2024 - a 7v7 $1m winner-takes-all tournament - Burnley FC co-owner and former NFL great J.J. Watt went on a tireless journey to prepare for the pitch. From training with his wife, Kealia, to working on cardio - something he admitted he "does not like" - the ex-NFL superstar ran into one massive roadblock: finding soccer cleats that fit.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Watt wears a size 15 shoe, and despite numerous attempts to try and find a pair of soccer shoes to fit him, he came up unlucky. USMNT standout Christian Pulisic was even recruited to help, with the AC Milan star sending him a pair of boots from his personal line.Unfortunately for Watt, they did not fit the 6-5 former defensive lineman. As a result, he's stuck wearing NFL cleats on the pitch this week in Cary, N.C.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

"I searched high and low and talked to companies and could not find a single pair of size 15 football cleats," Watt said. "Christian Pulisic very kindly sent me a pair, but they were not big enough, so we are wearing American football cleats and they’re going to have to do!"

WHAT WATT SAID

Burnley FC take the pitch at TST 2024 this week in Group B action, where they'll take on Concafa SC, Nati SC &amp; Reggae Rovers.You can watch matches <a href="https://tstlive.thetournament.com/" target="_self">LIVE here</a> or on ESPN+/ESPNU.
