Burnley

The Soccer Tournament 2024 got underway on Wednesday and Burnley's first match was against Nati SC, aka Major League Soccer side FC Cincinnati. The Clarets fell to a 7-2 defeat but not without defensive end Watt taking out Nati's goalkeeper in an almighty thump at WakeMed Soccer Park.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Footage shows the 6'5, 20-stone former NFL player having a heavy collision with Nati SC's keeper, prompting, oohs, ahs and laughs from those watching on.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">When <a href="https://twitter.com/NFL?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NFL</a> meets <a href="https://twitter.com/TST7v7?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TST7v7</a> 💀<a href="https://twitter.com/JJWatt?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@JJWatt</a> takes no prisoners 🤣 <a href="https://t.co/sqfq34noFl">pic.twitter.com/sqfq34noFl</a>— GOAL USA (@GoalUSA) <a href="https://twitter.com/GoalUSA/status/1798385131423683019?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 5, 2024</a></blockquote>

WATCH THE CLIP

Watt's Burnley outfit are one of 48 teams taking part in the men's seven-a-side event that runs until June 10. Both the men's and women's tournaments have a $1 million prize (£783,420) on the line so there is plenty to play for.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Burnley', whose 11-a-side team were relegated to the Championship after finishing 19th in the Premier League this season, face Reggae Rovers in their second group stage match on Wednesday, followed by a clash with The CONCAFA SC on Thursday.
