VIDEO: That's gotta hurt! Giant NFL legend JJ Watt absolutely flattens goalkeeper in Burnley's TST clash with Nati SC

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.

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.

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.

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.
