( BAND PLAYING )
>> James: WELCOME BACK!
LOS ANGELES RECENTLY GOT A
BRAND-NEW SOCCER TEAM, BUT
BEFORE L.A.F.C. TAKES ON THE
REST OF THE M.L.S., WE HAD TO
PUT THEM TO THE "LATE LATE SHOW"
TEST.
TAKE A LOOK.
SO BOB BRADLEY CALLED ME
RECENTLY SAYING HE NEEDED HIS
NEW LOS ANGELES F.C. SOCCER TEAM
TO TRAIN WITH THE BEST OF THE
BEST.
AND SO WOULD MY TEAM, THE "LATE
LATE SHOW" F.C., PLAY AGAINST
THEM.
AND I SAID SURE, MAKES SENSE.
TRYING TO GET A MATCH FIT.
I'LL CHECK THE DIARY AND SEE IF
WE'VE GOT A WINDOW.
>> LAST WEEK I GOT A CRAZED
PHONE CALL FROM JAMES CORDEN
DEMANDING WE PLAY A GAME OF
SOCCER AGAINST HIM.
HE WAS SHOUTING SOMETHING ABOUT
GOING THROUGH HIM FIRST IF WE
WANTED TO MAKE IT IN THE BIG
LEAGUES.
I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT HE
MEANS, BUT I THINK IT SOUNDS
LIKE FUN.
>> JAMES: THIS IS NOT GOING TO
BE FUN.
WE ARE TAKING THIS GAME VERY,
VERY SERIOUSLY.
WE'VE TRAINED FOR 20 MINUTES
TODAY.
THIS AIN'T NO JOKE.
LISTEN UP, YOU WERE CHOSEN
BECAUSE YOU WERE THE FINEST
ATHLETES WHO WERE FREE TODAY AND
AGREED TO PLACE FOR A SMALL
SLICE OF ORANGE.
I WANT 100% FROM YOU, FROM
YOU -- ARE YOU LISTENING?
>> YEAH, WE'RE PLAYING FOR KEEPS
TODAY, BABY!
>> James: IAN, WHAT ARE YOU
DOING?
>> PLAYING FOOTBALL.
>> WE'RE PLAYING FOOTBALL.
>> JAMES: YES, WE ARE.
WE'RE PLAYING FOOTBALL LIKE THE
REST OF THE PLANET -- WITH OUR
FEET.
NOW TAKE THAT CRAP OFF AND FACE
THE WORLD LIKE A REAL MAN!
>> BUT STILL BE THE BIG DOG.
IT'S GAME DAY!
YOU STILL CAME TO EAT, YOU'RE
JUST EATING A DIFFERENT MEAL.
>> I'M SORRY!
>> James: QUICK AS YOU CAN!
WHO ARE WE?
>> "THE LATE LATE SHOW" FOOTBALL
CLUB!
>> James: WHAT ARE WE GOING TO
DO?
>> "THE LATE LATE SHOW" FOOTBALL
CLUB!
>> James: LET'S JUST START
TRAINING.
NATE, HERE WE GO.
OKAY.
THIS IS ALL YOU, ALL DAY.
THAT WAS MY BAD.
MY BAD, NOT YOU.
( LAUGHTER )
NO WITH YOUR FOOT!
WITH YOUR FOOT!
OKAY, GUILLERMO -- OH, MY.
ALL RIGHT.
THIS COULD BE A WHILE.
I'M NOT GOING TO LIE TO ANY OF
YOU AND TELL YOU THIS IS GOING
TO BE EASY.
WE'RE GOING TO NEED EVERY PIECE
OF SKILL THAT WE CAN, AND THAT
MAY INVOLVE CHEATING THE
REFEREE.
COME PAST ME.
I'M NOT GONNA TOUCH YOU, AND I
WANT YOU TO DIVE TO FOOL THE
REFEREE.
GO!
( LAUGHTER )
TOO MUCH.
GO!
PERFECT!
YES!
I ACTUALLY THOUGHT SHE MAY HAVE
INJURED HERSELF.
THERE'S THE CHALLENGE.
GO!
>> AAAHHH!
AAAHHH!
AAAHHH!
OH!
AAAHHH!
OH, GOD!
AAAHHH!
OH!
OH, MY GOD!
>> James: KEEP GOING.
OH!
OH!
AHHH!
OH!
IT'S BOTH OF THEM!
AHHH!
AHHH!
>> James: VERY GOOD.
( APPLAUSE )
ARE MY TRAINING TECHNIQUES
UNORTHODOX?
PERHAPS.
BUT I'M A MAVERICK.
I REFUSE TO PLAY BY THE RULES.
A LOT OF THEM DON'T KNOW THE
RULES.
THEY'VE ONLY JUST LEARNT HOW TO
PLAY.
THE REFEREE COULD MAKE OR BREAK
THIS GAME AND WE HAVE TO LET THE
REFEREE KNOW HE CAN'T MESS WITH
US.
I WANT YOU TO IMAGINE I'M THE
REFEREE AND I'VE JUST MADE A
JUDGMENT AGAINST YOUR TEAM.
WHAT DO YOU DO?
( ARGUING )
>> James: TIM, IF YOU EXPOSE
YOURSELF, YOU WILL BE ASKED TO
LEAVE NOT ONLY FIELD BUT ALSO
THE SHOW.
I NEVER WANT TO SEE WHAT I JUST
SAW THEN AGAIN.
OKAY?
NICE DAY.
>> AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT
DOESN'T MATTER THEY'RE A BUNCH
OF NOVICES BECAUSE THIS TEAM HAS
AN UNWAVERING BELIEF IN MY
VISION.
>> AND WHAT IS YOUR VISION?
>> JAMES: I ACTUALLY HAVEN'T
WORKED THAT OUT YET, BUT IT'LL
COME TO ME.
( LAUGHTER )
>> HE CAN'T SERIOUSLY THINK HE'S
GOING TO WIN.
WE'VE GOT SOME TOP PLAYERS, WE
HAVE BEEN TRAINING.
AND ON HIS TEAM?
I HAVE NO IDEA WHO HE'S GOING TO
BRING.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> James: ALL RIGHT, COME ON!
GO, GO, GO, GO!
HE'S GOT NOTHING!
OH!
LOOK AT THAT!
THEY ABSOLUTELY (BLEEP)
THEMSELVES!
( LAUGHTER )
COME ON IN!
DON'T PUSH OUT!
THAT'S (BLEEP), REF!
BOB BRADLEY SLIPPED HIM MONEY.
I SAW IT BEFORE THE GAME.
ALL YOURS, LAWRENCE!
OH, (BLEEP)!
( WHISTLE BLOWING )
REF!
REF!
REFEREE!
REF!
REF!
HE'S IN AGONY!
( BLOWING WHISTLE )
>> James: LET'S TRY AND TAKE
THE BULL BACK!
( BLOWING WHISTLE )
>> GET OFF, GET OFF!
( SLOW MUSIC )
>> James: LISTEN, WE ARE IN
HELL RIGHT NOW, OKAY?
AND WE CAN STAY HERE AND GET THE
(BLEEP) KICKED OUT OF US, OR WE
CAN FIGHT OUR WAY BACK INTO THE
LIGHT!
WE CAN CLIMB OUT OF HELL ONE
INCH AT A TIME!
>> ISN'T THAT FROM" ANY GIVEN
SUNDAY "?
>> James: SHUT UP.
BECAUSE THIS GAME IS NOT OVER.
THIS BATTLE IS NOT OVER.
OKAY?
SO LET'S HEAR IT ONE MORE TIME!
CLEAR EYES, FULL HEARTS, CUT
LOOSE!
>> THAT'S FROM "FRIDAY NIGHT
LIGHTS."
>> James: FINE.
WE WILL NOT GO QUIETLY INTO THE
NIGHT!
WE WILL NOT VANQUISH WITHOUT A
FIGHT!
BECAUSE TODAY WE CELEBRATE OUR
INDEPENDENCE DAY!
( WHISTLE )
>> James: CIRCLE TACTIC!
GO!
GO!
GO!
KEEP GOING!
KEEP GOING!
( LAUGHTER )
>> James: LIFT AND MOVE!
LIFT AND MOVE!
OUT OF THE WAY!
OUT OF THE WAY!
( WHISTLE )
>> NO!
( WHISTLE )
>> NO!
AHHH!
( LAUGHTER )
>> I'M JUST TRYING TO BE NICE!
I'M TRYING TO BE NICE!
>> James: MONTY, COME ON!

LOOK, EVERYONE GETS A BET OF
LUCK, YOU KNOW?
EVEN THE SUN SHINES ON A DOG'S
ASS FROM TIME TO TIME, AND THEY
GOT LUCKY.
BUT IF WE PLAY TOMORROW, I'M
SURE IT WILL BE A VERY DIFFERENT
SCORE.
>> James: IN THE BAG!
IN THE BAG!
