Full Kit W**ker: Lalas’s Live On-Air Gaffe

During a Fox Sports broadcast of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, former US international Alexi Lalas used the term "full kit w**ker" to describe British actor James Corden, while live on air alongside co-hosts Rebecca Lowe, Thierry Henry, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Lowe and Henry expressed shock at the remark. Ibrahimovic said "wow".

Lowe then informed Lalas that the term was not permitted on British television. The comment occurred when Lowe initiated a discussion about Corden's show After Hours, which is being screened during the tournament.
