USA footballers lip-sync to Pitbull song ahead of Ireland match

‘Suavemente’. The word, which means smoothly in Spanish, was the antithesis of Ireland’s performance against Scotland at Celtic Park.

USA stars Timothy Chandler and Alejandro Bedoya touched down in Dublin on Monday and got straight into lip-sync action at their team hotel. The Stoke City and Nantes players, who are hoping to feature against Martin O’Neill’s men at the Aviva Stadium this evening, showed off their miming skills to an Elvis Crespo salsa song that was recently sampled by rapper Pitbull for his take on Suavemente.
