The world has been painted in FIFA colors for two weeks. However, following the group stages, the US men’s national soccer team advanced to the round of 16, where they faced the Netherlands. Unfortunately for USMNT fans, the team was eliminated following a 3-1 loss to the Dutch team. Furthermore, Memphis Depay, one of the game’s scorers, took advantage of the opportunity to call out Charles Barkley.

Barkley is undoubtedly one of the most unbiased and unfiltered sports analysts on NBA on TNT. However, The US making it to the round of 16 was a piece of delightful news for soccer fans.

Charles Barkley was so glad that he made a bold statement screaming at the top of his voice, saying, “I guarantee the Netherlands are in trouble!”

All the soccer fans were already bashing Barkley for his statement, so Memphis Depay also made his thoughts clear. Depay tweeted, “Lotta bark, no bite” with a picture of Barkley and the final score of the game.

Memphis Depay was one of the scorers of the game. He scored the first goal of the game in just 10 minutes. It seems like Depay took the comments by Barkley quite personally.

Charles Barkley and his predictions

This was not the first time Charles Barkley made a bold prediction that proved to be unsuccessful and completely opposite. Over the years, Barkley has made a name for himself due to his wrong predictions.

If he guarantees the win of any team then the world prepares itself for that team to lose. It all started back in 2020 when Barkley, as per his goofy nature, started using the word “Guaranteed” during the NBA playoff. Most of his prediction turns out to be a failure.
