In a new web video that’s going crazy viral on the internet right now, Late Late Show host James Corden leads six Three Lions players (three of which play their club ball for Tottenham Hotspur) in a campaign to recruit American fans to support England in the World Cup. With England now through to the round of 16, now might be a great time for my fellow Americans to, as that car commercial which plays incessantly during broadcasts suggests, jump on the wagon.
Corden enlists the help of Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Jamie Vardy, Jesse Lingard, Kyle Walker and Eric Dier, and the results are quite humorous. (Or should we say “humourous”).
One of the funniest bits of the segment is when Harry Kane ranks himself among the most popular men named Harry in England.
Also, the general reluctance of Dele Alli to participate in the gags, including the task of wearing a Statue of Liberty outfit is quite funny as well.
Anyway, have a watch below:
