Former US men's national team defender Alexi Lalas sparked a social media frenzy after calling British comedian and television host James Corden a “f-----g w----r” during a live Fox Sports broadcast covering the FIFA Club World Cup.
The unscripted moment occurred during a panel discussion featuring Lalas, Thierry Henry, Zlatan Ibrahimovich and host Rebecca Lowe.
The exchange immediately caught viewers' attention and spread rapidly across social media platforms.
Lalas' response came right after Fox After Hours' tournament coverage featured an advertisement for English comedian Corden's new program, FIFA World Cup.
Thierry Henry was left speechless, with a priceless expression, while fellow pundits Zlatan Ibrahimović and Rebecca Lowe appeared stunned.
