J.J. Watt Roasts Tom Brady's Wild Dream to Single-Handedly Rescue American Soccer

Remarks made by Tom Brady became a social media sensation on Sunday when he shared his strategy for enhancing the current performance of the United States men's national soccer team during his guest spot on Men in Blazers.

Brady, who has expanded his involvement in soccer through his investment in Birmingham F.C., appeared confident he had devised an innovative approach to rejuvenate the sport and boost its appeal across America. The 48-year-old proposed that the USMNT should simply locate and nurture a player with abilities comparable to Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal.

Naturally, Messi stands among the most exceptional talents to ever grace a soccer pitch, while the 18-year-old Yamal is recognized for having similarly boundless promise. No American soccer athlete throughout history has even approached matching Messi's legendary status, making Brady's belief that the USMNT could easily discover such extraordinary generational talent quite amusing.

Soccer enthusiasts on social platforms ridiculed Brady's statements, with J.J. Watt leading the charge - now something of a competitor to the Hall of Fame quarterback following his own investment in Burnley F.C.

Watt mocked Brady regarding his remarks, turning to social media to present a college football equivalent of his suggestions.

"The Wisconsin Badgers need a player like prime Tom Brady," Watt quipped on X.

Though Brady might not have recognized it then, his recommendation for the USMNT essentially mirrors telling any random college team to go sign the most accomplished NFL quarterback in history. Brady may have some validity to his point, though, as it could indeed require a dominant force unlike anything the U.S. has previously produced to genuinely elevate the country's enthusiasm and devotion to the sport.

Nevertheless, Watt couldn't resist ribbing his former NFL colleague about the remarks.
