Charles Barkley ‘GUARANTEED’ Netherlands lose to USA in FIFA World Cup and Twitter went berserk against him: “Now USA loses by four", "Goddamit Chuck"

Charles Barkley has guaranteed that the Netherlands will lose to the USA in their FIFA World Cup round of 16 clash. Barkley's guarantee has Twitter going berserk as many believe that he has jinxed USA Men's Football team's great run at the FIFA World Cup.

The Hall of Famer is arguably the best basketball analyst on television as he gives an unbiased, unfiltered and honest opinion. Additionally, he is also one of the funniest characters on television, with his moments going viral all over social media on a regular basis. On "Inside the NBA," he said:

“I guarantee the Netherlands in trouble."

The USA Men's Football team are through to the round of 16 after they defeated Iran 1-0 courtesy of a strike from Christian Pulisic. USA had a heartbreaking draw against Wales but followed it up with a strong and valiant effort against England, earning themselves a hard earned point. However, the team will start as underdogs against the Netherlands, who topped Group A.

USA's strong showing has led to a lot of emerging support from celebrities and fans around the country as the team continues to turn heads in Qatar. Charles Barkley is now the latest television personality to jump on the USA hype-train. However, in his usual outlandish style, Chuck went over-the-top, guaranteeing a USA victory.

Twitter users had a gala time reacting to his claim. While some were angry at his jinx, most of them were just trolling Barkley for trying to jinx yet another team. Here are some of the best Twitter reactions.

Charles Barkley is famous for his guarantees

Charles Barkley has built a great reputation on television as a NBA analyst. However, he also has a humorous and goofy side to him which comes almost naturally to him.

Over the course of the last three seasons, one of Barkley's latest segments has been his guarantees. This started during the playoff series in the summer of 2020 when the games were held in the 'NBA Bubble.' When it came to picking the winners, Charles Barkley started using the word guarantee along with it.

This has picked up ever since and he has been using it for the last three years in the playoffs. The ''Inside the NBA'' show picked up on it and started to one-up itself by making it a full-blown segment during the playoffs.

Barkley's guarantees haven't worked out well for most of the teams that he picked to win and as viewers believe that Chuck guaranteeing a win is like him jinxing that team.
