Mike Tyson is FIRED UP to watch Team USA take on Belgium -- in fact, he's so pumped, he made a pep talk video ... telling the squad we're going to take those Belgians, take their chocolate and ... well ... watch.

Tyson appeared on a bit for Fox Sports 1 -- and in between chants of "USA! USA! USA!" ... made the following prediction:

"We’re going to take them Belgium guys, and take a bunch of chocolate, and stuff it up ..."

He stopped himself before describing exactly where the chocolate would be stuffed.

Both were seen sippin' on drinks -- Wayne was seen checking out some of the bikini-clad partiers.

People who are boycotting Belgian beer in support of Team USA soccer are only screwing themselves out of an opportunity to DRINK GOOD BEER ... so says Samuel Adams founder Jim Koch.

Of course, with Team USA's big match against Belgium just hours away -- some Americans are 86'ing all things Belgium from their lives ... waffles, chocolate, Jean-Claude Van Damme, etc.

But Koch tells TMZ Sports ... the beer shouldn't suffer.

"We hear some people are boycotting their favorite Belgian beers (like Stella) in support of Team USA," Koch says ... "I can’t say I agree with beer boycotts because then you’re giving up your right to drink your favorite beer!"

"For me, I’ll be cheering on Team USA with a Samuel Adams Boston Lager, my favorite. If you really want to show patriotism, I say boycott Brussels sprouts or Belgian waffles."

Johnny Manziel had his first taste of a Justin Bieber party last night ... and it ended after cops were called to the crib ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Manziel was hanging with Floyd Mayweather, Tyrese, Tyga, Chantel Jeffries and others at Bieb's pad in Beverly Hills ... when Beverly Hills PD was called to the condo complex early Tuesday morning by someone complaining about loud music.

We're told cops responded to the home and they spoke with someone at the residence -- not Bieber -- and the gang complied and cranked the tunes down.

But a short time later, cops went BACK to the pad after someone complained about the packs of young girls (Beliebers) who were screaming and making noise in front of Justin's crib.

It's not the first time cops have been to JB's home -- police were there recently to deal with similar fan issues. FYI -- Justin's only been in the home a couple of weeks.

Bet the neighbors love it.

They say he OWNED the court when the Bulls played in Chicago Stadium ... but TMZ Sports has learned Michael Jordan only owns a PIECE of the court ... and it's displayed in his Florida mansion.

We've obtained pics of the authentic center court section from Chicago Stadium -- that Michael was allowed to keep when the Bulls moved from Chicago Stadium in 1994.

Sources close to Michael tell us ... MJ had the court section installed into his 28,000 square foot home in Jupiter, FL -- which he moved into back in 2013.

We spoke to the Bulls who confirmed, "Michael does have a piece of the court with the Bulls logo."

The rep added, "Years ago when the Bulls went from Chicago Stadium to the United Center, Michael took the center court portion of the court."

Unclear if he paid for it ... but we're guessing it was gift for ... you know ... the championships.

Pretty bad ass, right?!

Ex-NFL quarterback Kevin Kolb was arrested for boating while intoxicated in Texas this weekend ... and spent nearly 12 hours in jail.

Law enforcement tells TMZ Sports ... the 29-year-old former Philadelphia Eagles QB was popped early Saturday morning in Willacy County, TX by Parks & Wildlife officials and was thrown in a cell at 2:44 AM.

Kolb was released at 1:11 PM after posting $3k bond.

Kolb didn't play an NFL game last season -- despite the fact he was on the Buffalo Bills roster -- after suffering a season-ending concussion during a pre-season game.

The L.A. City Fire Dept. isn't laughing at the L.A. Dodgers hot foot prank -- telling TMZ Sports playing with fire is NOT a joke ... it's dangerous.

The "hot foot" all went down at Dodgers Stadium over the weekend -- when pitcher Josh Beckett snuck a lit cigarette wrapped in matches on the back of teammate Scott Van Slyke's cleat.

The whole thing made national news -- but Captain Jaime Moore from the L.A. City Fire Dept. tells us, "These guys are supposed to be role models and playing with fire is not a joke."

Capt. Moore says the F.D. is more than happy to offer a stop, drop and roll course to the team ... in case it ever happens again.

We also spoke with Tom Olshanski -- the Director of External Affairs for the United States Fire Administration (a division of FEMA) who tells us, "We work tirelessly to warn people of the dangers of fire and to see it celebrated by professional athletes, on TV and in front of kids, is frustrating."

He adds, "Any sort of fire play like that is incredibly dangerous. Look at the recovery from even minor burn injuries."

The lesson, he says, is the same one we were all taught as kids -- "'Don't play with matches."

During the bit, Vick said he was game to talk to "callers" -- who all turned out to be crazy characters who harassed him about everything from dog-fighting to his QB battle with Geno Smith.

Vick kept his composure during the "prank" -- and later vowed revenge on Tommy ... right after plugging the comedy show. Unclear if Vick was in on the prank from the beginning, but it doesn't really matter -- it was still funny.

Detroit Lions TE Joseph Fauria can say bye, bye, bye to his old touchdown dances ... 'cause he's got a brand new set of moves now -- courtesy of former 'N SYNC member Lance Bass.

Fauria -- who famously busted out all sorts of boy-bandish style celebrations during his rookie season -- was set to showcase some of his new moves during a bit for Fox Sports 1 ... when Bass showed up to show him a new trick or two.

Check out the video, Lance lays out some classic 'N Sync choreography ... and Joseph hilariously does his best to keep up ... but it's obvious Lance is the expert in the dance dept.

Next up? Blocking Ndamukong Suh in practice ... good luck Bass.

Uruguay superstar Luis Suarez is changing his story AGAIN -- and now ADMITS he bit Italian player Giorgio Chiellini during a World Cup match last week.

Initially, Suarez insisted there was NO BITE -- despite strong video evidence -- saying he simply lost his balance and accidentally hit his face against Chiellini's shoulder.

But now -- after FIFA banned him for 4 months -- it seems Suarez has finally come to his senses ... because he just issued the following statement on his Twitter page:

Two NBA stars are forcing each other to sleep with one eye open ... 'cause they keep LOTION-BOMBING each other.

It all started over the weekend when Brooklyn Nets star Marquis Teague caught his former Kentucky teammate friend Doron Lamb passed out ... and hit him with some lotion to the head. Teague posted the pic on Instagram.

But Lamb -- who now plays for the Orlando Magic -- decided to strike back ... quickly.

Just hours later, when Teague passed out ... Lamb escalated the situation -- squirting lotion all over Teague's face, hand and arm.

Usually, this kind of passed-out debauchery is reserved for people who pass out with their shoes on ... at least, that's how it goes in college.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. tried to re-connect with rapper T.I.'s wife on the red carpet of the BET Awards, but she was having none of it ... possibly to avoid another Floyd/T.I. brawl.

Tiny was doing an interview on the red carpet Sunday night when Floyd came rolling by with his girl. He tried to get her attention -- calling her name and trying to grab her elbow -- but she ignored him and just hightailed it out of there.

It's amazing that Floyd would do this, since ... as TMZ previously reported ... it was Floyd's relationship with Tiny that set off the Floyd/T.I. fight at Fatburger in Las Vegas last month.

Round 2, anyone?

The Dutch airline that celebrated The Netherlands win over Mexico with a tweet that said, "Adios Amigos" -- coupled with a stereotypical pic of a man in sombrero -- is now apologizing.

KLM has been under fire ever since the airline posted the message Sunday -- which featured an image of a mustached man in a poncho and a sombrero next to a sign that said, "Departures."

The tweet pissed off a TON of people -- including actor Gael García Bernal who blasted the airline on Twitter ... saying, "I’m never flying your s**tty airline again. F**k you big time."

Now, the airline has finally responded ... issuing a statement that says, "We realize that our posts on Twitter and Facebook following the match triggered many emotional replies. We emphasize that it was never our intention to hurt anyone's feelings."

"In the best of sportsmanship, KLM apologizes to those who feel offended. In respect of the many reactions we received we decided to remove the posts."

Chris Brown and Justin Bieber both showed up to the BET Celebrity basketball game this weekend -- and one of 'em REALLY IMPRESSED with his hoops skills.

Of course, Bieber has been practicing his game like a maniac over the past year -- training in gyms all over the country and even at Lil Wayne's basketball court at his private sports compound.

SO. MANY CLASSICS:

-- The diet pill episode
-- The Fake I.D. episode
-- The Stansbury episode
-- The one where Zack fights Slater!

So, which "Saved By the Bell" episode is Chris Paul's favorite?? Shockingly ... it's none of the above.

The L.A. Clippers superstar -- and legendary hardcore S.B.T.B. fan -- was leaving Mastro's Steakhouse in Beverly Hills after the BET Awards this evening when he gave his #1 of all time.

It's not a bad pick ... but there's NO WAY it's better than A.C. vs. Morris!!
