New Knicks guard Mario Hezonja, who had encouraged fans to scream 'Mario Hezonja' when his native Croatia scores, celebrated their World Cup victory over England on Wednesday.

In one succinct tweet, Hezonja trolled England's rallying cry and made a Game of Thrones reference.

Now we'll wait to see if Hezonja engages teammate Frank Ntilikina in battle when Croatia faces France in the final on Sunday.
