[ MUSIC ] >> James: MANCHESTER UNITED IS
ONE OF THE MOST DECORATED FOOTBALL CLUBS IN THE WORLD, SO
I WAS REALLY EXCITED WHEN I HEARD THEY WERE COMING TO L.A.
FOR THEIR PRESEASON TOUR.
AND THEN JOSE MOURINHO CALLS ME UP AND SAYS LOOK AT OUR
SCHEDULE, REAL MADRID.
NONE OF THE TEAMS WILL GIVE ME A REAL TEST.
I WAS LIKE, I HATE YOU BUDDY.
LET ME SEE WHAT I CAN DO.
>> I DON'T KNOW JAMES CORDEN.
CERTAINLY I NEVER SPOKE TO HIM ON THE PHONE.
[ MUSIC ] >> James: OK, GUYS.
MAN UNITED, ONE OF THE BIGGEST TEAMS IN THE WORLD, OK?
FRANKLY, THESE TEAMS YOU'VE BEEN PLAYING AREN'T UP TO YOUR
STANDARDS, ALL RIGHT?
I'VE GOT A TEAM WHO I THINK COULD GET YOU READY FOR THE
PREMIER LEAGUE SEASON, OK?
THEY'RE YOUNG.
THEY'RE HUNGRY.
I MEAN THOSE BOTH VERY LITERALLY.
I PRESENT TO YOU THE "LATE LATE SHOW" FOOTBALL CLUB.
[ MUSIC ] THAT'S THE KIND OF TRAINING --
OH, IT LOOKS CUTE AND FUNNY BUT BELIEVE ME, THEY'RE DANGEROUS.
>> WHERE DID THEY GET 100 KIDS FROM?
>> James: THEY THINK 100 KIDS IS UNFAIR BUT ACTUALLY WEIGHT
WISE, IT'S ACTUALLY ONLY 40 ADULTS.
WHICH STILL IS UNFAIR.
GUYS, THIS IS MANCHESTER UNITED.
THIS IS THE ONLY TIME IN THE WORLD YOU SHOW THEM ANY RESPECT
FROM THIS MOMENT ON, IT'S DO OR DIE.
"LATE LATE SHOW" LET'S GET READY.
IF MAN UNITED IS GOLIATH IN THIS MATCHUP, WE'RE DEFINITELY THE
DAVIDS.
IN FACT, WE HAVE LIKE 17 DAVIDS ON OUR TEAM.
WELCOME TO THE BEAUTIFUL LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, WHERE THE
MIGHTY MANCHESTER UNITED IS SET TO FACE-OFF AGAINST JAMES CORDEN
AND HIS "LATE LATE SHOW" FOOTBALL CLUB.
TODAY'S MATCH PROVES TO BE AN INTERESTING BATTLE OF QUALITY
VERSUS QUANTITY WITH MANCHESTER UNITED FIELDING THREE
PROFESSIONALS AGAINST 100 KIDS.
THEY SAY THEY'RE MAN UNITED.
IF THEY'RE THAT UNITED, WHY IS IT ONLY THREE PLAYERS TURNED UP?
>> CORDEN'S ADORABLE PACK OF RUG RATS HAS YET TO FACE AN OPPONENT
LIKE THIS OR ANY OPPONENT FOR THAT MATTER.
JOSE MOURINHO, WON 25 TROPHIES WITH FIVE CLUBS INCLUDING TWO
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TITLES.
THERE'S JAMES CORDEN, ALSO A MAN.
AND WE'RE OFF.
MATTER TAKES A TOUCH.
GIVES IT TO SMALLEY.
HERRERA.
NUMBER 29 INTERCEPTS IT AND TAKES A HOT AND OH, MATTER
DEFLECTS IT OVER THE CROSSBAR.
THAT'S AN EARLY CHANCE MISS FOR "THE LATE LATE SHOW" I WONDER IF
THEY'LL LIVE TO REGRET THAT.
>> GOOD EFFORT.
GOOD EFFORT.
>> MATTA BOOTS TO DOWN MIDFIELD TO SMALLEY WHO GETS CONTROL.
HE'S GOT 20 BOYS AND GIRLS OF ALL AGES AROUND HIM.
HE'S COMPLETELY SURROUNDED NOW WITH NO ROOM TO BREATHE IT LOOKS
LIKE A MOSH PETE IN A RAFI CONCERT.
MATA TAKES THE FREE KICK AND GETS TO HERRERA.
TAKES HIS SHOT.
INCREDIBLE SAVE BY ONE OF "THE LATE LATE SHOW'S" GOALKEEPERS.
THEY HAVE A COMBINED AGE OF 60 YEARS.
MANCHESTER UNITED BACK ON ATTACK.
SMALLEY TRYING TO CREATE A BIT OF SPACE.
A BEAUTIFUL CROSS BY SMALLEY.
MATA IS IN POSITION.
TAKES A SHOT.
THE BALL SAILS RIGHT IN.
BEAUTIFUL GOAL.
1-NIL TO MANCHESTER UNITED.
THE BIG THUMBS DOWN FROM THE KIDS.
MOST OF WHOM ARE STILL CRANKY FROM SKIPPING THEIR NAP.
"LATE LATE SHOW" WITH POSSESSION.
HERRERA.
HERRERA TAKES IT.
OH, THAT FROM HERRERA, HE'S LOOKING FOR A CARD.
HE WON'T GET ONE.
LET'S SEE IF THE KIDS COULD CAPITALIZE ON THIS AND, OH, THEY
DO.
>> James: YES!
YES!
>> BUT WAY, JOSE MOURINHO IS APPEALING FOR HOFF SIDES.
THE GOAL HAS BEEN DISALLOWED AS 17 PLAYERS WERE STRAIGHT OFF
SIDE.
>> James: OFF SIDE?
HE CAN'T EVEN SPELL OFF SIDE?
>> IT LOOKS LIKE THE MANAGERS ARE SUBBING THEMSELVES IN.
MOURINHO WILL TAKE THE GOAL.
JAMES CORDEN WILL FOLLOW SUIT.
HE'LL BE THE 23RD DEFENDER.
LET'S SEE HOW MANCHESTER UNITED WILL HANDLE THE MAN CHILD FROM
HIGH WICKHAM.
>> I'M AFRAID TO HURT THE KIDS BUT NOT AFRAID TO HURT JAMES.
>> HE TRIES TO BOX OUT SMALLEY.
>> James: MARK YOUR MAN.
>> THERE'S THE CORNER FROM MATA.
HERRERA.
SMALLEY THREADS JUST OVER THE CROSSBAR.
LUCKY FOR MANCHESTER UNITED.
>> KEEPER.
>> IT'S CORDEN SURGING UP THE WING AS HE BARKS OUT ORDERS.
>> TAKE HIM OUT.
TAKE HIM OUT!
>> VERY UNSPORTSMANLIKE!
AND THAT IS A BIT OF A SAD SIGHT THERE.
HE MAY BE WONDERING WHAT ON EARTH HE DID TO GET SUBBED.
CHILD PASSES IT TO ANOTHER CHILD WHO KNOCKS IT PASSED MOURINHO TO
ANOTHER CHILD AND HE SCORES!
[ APPLAUSE ] THE "LATE LATE SHOW "LIKEWISE
EQUALIZE AND JUST LIKE THAT, THEY'RE RIGHT BACK IN THE GAME.
>> James: GREAT GOAL!
>> THAT IS A STAGGERING BLOW TO MANCHESTER UNITED, A TEAM OF
HIGHLY-PAID PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALLER WHO HAS GAVE UP A GET
TO SOMEONE WHO STILL CAN'T -- A GOAL TO SOMEONE WHO STILL CAN'T
TIE HIS SHOE LAISES.
JOEY GOES LONG TO MIDFIELD.
HE TURNS AND PASSES TO HERRERA.
HE'S GOT ROOM.
TAKES HIS MAN.
RUNS INTO TROUBLE.
SMALLEY BACK.
TAKES THE SHOT.
OFF THE CROSSBAR.
BOOM, SPECTACULAR OVERHEAD KICK.
HITS THE BACK OF THE NET.
THAT'S THE LAST MOVE OF THE GAME.
THEY SNATCH IT.
IT'S HEARTBREAK FOR "THE LATE LATE SHOW FC" THAT LOOSES 2-1 TO
MANCHESTER UNITED.
MANCHESTER UNITED CELEBRATING THEIR VICTORY ALONG WITH SOME OF
THE CHILDREN WHO SEEM TO BE AS HAPPY AS THEY ARE.
THIS HAS SURELY GOT TO BE ONE OF THE MOST CONFUSING GAMES IN THE
HISTORY OF FOOTBALL.
[ CHEERING AND APPLAUSE ] >> James: MY HUGE THANKS TO
JOSE MOURINHO AND MANCHESTER UNITED!
