Impossible Is Nothing (CD)
There are some good ones here, well done guys.
The photo still infuriates me, Barcelona defender Marquez going down after an 18-year-old kid smoked him and almost touched his shoulder. What a wuss.
In all fairness to Marquez, he fell because Altidore clipped his ankle during the run. He put some mustard on it, for sure, but he did get clipped.
#1 is excellent!
And my #9 is classic. Come now, who doesnt like a Pesci moment?!
Ives,
Thanks for this distinguished honor. I haven’t been this proud since I got my Stamp Collecting badge in the scouts.

Did you ever pick a winner for the Beckham one?
The bronze ain’t bad. Some really great entries in top 10. Nice work…
Off topic here but check out EJ in a Fulham uniform in action for the reserves.

#5 makes me laugh every time!! Hopefully he makes defenders look like this on a consistent basis.
Yeah Dan’s caption, which came in at No. 5 is at least No. 2 for me. But No. 1 was pretty darn good, too.
oh man #5 is hilarious.
but in the interest of full disclosure, I started to like the jerseys better as the game went on.
# 2 is clearly the best. a quote from Mr. Miyagi and Cobra Kai is fantastic
How about something along the lines of.
Mr.Marquez, you better get used to this because Barcelona has nothing on Real Madrid.

YOUR THE BEST

NOTHINGS GONNA EVER KEEP YA DOWN
#9 made me laugh
Thanks Ives! I definitely look forward to more of these.
Josie: “The bells! The bells!”
(Or, to keep it soccer related, change it to ‘balls’)
Oops, I meant ‘jozy’. Haha.
“I heard you head-butted one of our players. I just wanted to let you know where things stand between us. Now stay down.”
I don’t know if this is the right forum, but has anyone else noticed that Altidore plays better when there are more fans in the stadium? Some players wilt under the spotlight or get intimidated, but Altidore’s performances actually improve in front of large crowds and in big games.
I first noticed this in the NY-LA game last season when he scored twice in front of a crowd of 60k+. I noticed it also in the U-20s WC and again in the Mexico game (with 70k+). No fluke.
Altidore thrives off the spotlight.
Hey Marquez, no break dancin’ allowed!!!
