Respect on James for doing this segment on American TV knowing that most people couldn't care.

[lifeintaiwan]

Not sure Americans can understand the feelings behind this and the effects it will have on communities all over UK

[David_Bower]

He doesn't care whether his audience wants to hear this. He's British, so he's going to speak up about this regardless, and I commend him for it.

[Ayush-wbwn]

The funny thing is he couldn't even get attention from the people in the room he was speaking in but he earned the respect of each and everyone of us football fans around the world. We love you James

[tanveer]

James really spoke his mind when nobody else cared in that room.

Respect for James 📈

[marlowfenlon]

Fair play to James for sticking to his English routes and bringing this to attention even though no one there cared

[sk_lm]

Respect man, he brought out an issue that probably 80% of people in usa don't even care and still with that much passion. Hats off James.

[MaSsiVeGaming]

Love how James was trying so hard to prevent himself from saying "they are trying to Americanise the sport". It's a tricky situation here. He feels passionate about it but doesn't want to offend the audience and the American public.

[ajfreeney]

My respect for this man has skyrocketed. He spoke about an issue that mattered to him and his country in front of an audience that didn't give a shit. 👏

[rajdman]

“I refuse to call it soccer.” I love you James.

[maximtheinternetbreaker]

James Cordan explained what football really is. It's not just kicking a ball around, there's overflowing passion, hopes and desire behind it.

[alexanderzukic]

You can take Corden out of England but you can't take England out of Corden.. i truly respect the guy

[robhiggins]

fair play to James Corden, he definitely got this story to be told on the show, literally no one in the audience cares about this, but he did it anyway.

[crimson]

The American audience don't care but the rest of the world does. This is a sport where people in Asia wakes up at 3am on a workday to watch live.

[anjachrist]

James, I love that you cover this story even though Americans don't care about it and that you refuse to call it soccer! 😆
Cheers from Switzerland

[caesarwongdi]

Football not soccer.
Respect to James Corden for bringing this up in American tv🙏

[eniolakayode]

You may not see it but James was about to cry, and that's how every football fan across the world feels right now

[salifyanyimbron]

He's dissected the issue perfectly for comprehension. And he spoke with passion and emotion; he really feels the damage to be caused.

[debanjan]

Man talked about european football in American television so passionately
Respect for James ❤️❤️
