'You wanna give me Burnley if I beat you?' - Pat McAfee challenges Clarets chief JJ Watt to cheeky TST wager ahead of summer tournament

Former NFL players Pat McAfee and JJ Watt wagered a bet ahead of their teams' clash at The Soccer Tournament this summer.

WHAT HAPPENED?
Last month former Indianapolis Colts punter McAfee announced that he would have his team participate in TST, the seven-a-side competition scheduled for this summer. The tournament will also see the participation of Premier League clubs Burnley - owned by NFL legend JJ Watt - and Chelsea while newly promoted League One side Wrexham will compete as well.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
In a recent conversation with Watt, McAfee demanded the ownership of Burnley if his team, CONCAFA soccer club, beat the Clarets at TNT as part of a wager.
WHAT PAT MCAFEE SAID
During the fun conversation, McAfee told Watt, "You wanna give me Burnley FC if we beat you, just give me the whole team?" In response, Watt said, "What you got to give me? CONCAFA T-Shirt? or do I get College GameDay?"
The duo eventually settled for a straight-up exchange of ownership of their respective clubs.
