🎤 Awkward! 😲 During live coverage of the 2026 World Cup, former US footballer Alexi Lalas dropped a jaw-dropping remark about James Corden that left his fellow pundits, including football legends Thierry Henry and Zlatan Ibrahimović, absolutely stunned! 😅
It happened on Fox Sports shortly after an advert aired for Corden’s new World Cup show, “FIFA World Cup on FOX After Hours”. The show’s presenter, Rebecca Lowe, casually asked the panel what they thought of Corden. That’s when Lalas jumped in with a cheeky British slang term, calling Corden a “full-kit w***er.” The studio went silent, leaving Lowe to joke about them being on American telly. 🏟️
For those not in the know, “full kit w***er” is a light-hearted dig at adults who wear a complete football kit outside of play. Corden’s been sporting a full USA training kit in promo clips for his new programme, so you can see where the banter was coming from! 😆
The internet exploded with mixed reactions, wondering if Lalas was aware of what he’d said on air. One user wrote, “For real, James Corden IS a full kit w***er, but wow.” Others thought Lalas might have used even stronger language. 🌐
Corden’s new show just kicked off, and is set to run during the World Cup with guests like Rio Ferdinand and comedian Ian Karmel. Corden promises a fun, relaxed vibe as they chat about the World Cup’s highlights, aiming to bring the bar banter straight to your living room! 🍻⚽
