VIDEO: Kevin Doyle gets quizzed on American lingo and he comes up short on some beauties

Kevin Doyle is about to begin the American dream when his transfer to the Colorado Rapids goes through.

But we'd recommend the Irish international brushes up a bit on the Americanisms that he will undoubtedly face when he touches down in the U.S of A. It would be polite to say that the former Wolves and Reading striker struggled a little bit when asked to translate our terminology for that of those stateside. He looked to be killing it at first, tearing out of the traps with "sidewalk,""soccer," and "chips." But the Wexford man came unstuck when asked what our American brethren would call a "courgette." There are a fair few highlights, such as Doyle translating "candy floss," to "fluff," and "bum bag," to "wallet." https://youtu.be/196NVBD25fo
