Great example. It reminds of my junior year in high school when our cross town rival's coach told me that I would never score 30 points against them. He said my team may win, but his guys were too disciplined to give up that many points to one player. I think I scored 41 and 43 in both league games that year, and when we shook hands after the second game I asked him what happened to his prediction. It was kind of a disrespectful thing to say to an opposing coach, and I don't recommend it; but he had it coming.
