You Write the Caption

Good afternoon folks. It has been a pretty eventful day in the soccer world. You had Eddie Johnson's move to Fulham as well as plenty of European soccer to follow. You had more African Nations Cup action as well as word that the Los Angeles Galaxy would be touring Asia.

Before I get to more news in some later posts, I thought it would be a good time for the first You Write the Caption for the new Soccer By Ives. The first photo includes David Beckham, who has spent time doing some charity work in Africa.

Here is the photo, as well as a message for those who want the Galaxy to keep buying high-priced players:

"It became clear at the Galaxy's first day of practice that spending most of the salary cap on a few star players wasn't the way to go."

That is my caption. See if you can do better. Post your caption ideas below. Enjoy.

After LA Galaxy signed futbol star David Beckham they had to down grade Home Depot Center and sign local kids and then play jerseyless. David Beckham is wondering if it was really worth it.

HAHAHA. I don't think I can top pamo's caption, so I won't even try...

I'll take 4 on Adebayor here against Beckham in the 82nd minute...

I can't play in these work boots. How much for your cleats?

I vote for Ives' caption. Definitely the best.

"OK, last pick. I guess we have no choice, we'll take the white boy."

"You Dont See Him? But he is standing right next to us!"
"No, I only see some tall grass. There is nobody there"

On the set of Top Gun 2:Mav and Becks, David Beckham jokes with extras before the climactic shirtless soccer scene while Tom Cruise (not pictured) oils himself up on the sidelines

Dammit, I know the invitation said something about building. Bridges? Foundations? Roads?

"Wait this isn't where the Calivn Klien shoot is?"

.....one of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn't belong...

Pick me, pick me! I want to be adopted...wait...you're not Brad Pitt...but your wife is still hot!

Becks: Can you guys get off the field for just a second please? I'm trying to do an Abercrombie commercial here!

Hey kids, I said the lessons are free. If you want a jersey, you gotta cough up $75 US!

Where's Waldo?

"Start the bus! African Nations Cup here we come!!! No Euro, No Worry!!"

nicholas skyles' caption is my favorite as the clear front runner for perfect delivery. nice job.

Note sure if it got noticed the other time I suggested it, but http://www.photocrank.com lets you slap the caption right on the picture, along with other graphical enhancements.

Ives and Zangezan in the lead. Awesome captions.

"David Beckham reprises John Candys infamous roll as Coach Irv Blitzer in this hilarious remake of the 1990 classic "Cool Runnings."

This isn't a caption, but the picture reminds me of the scene in Airplane where Striker is teaching the locals to play basketball.

No longer in the England plans, Beckham was welcomed by the Senegalese National team.

Designated Meal Ticket

And in recent news, Alexi Lalas was promoted to manager of FC Darfur.

An overdressed Becks tries to barter his shirt for a pair of shorts.

Beckham slowly realizes he would rather be reading soccerbyives.com.

"Why is it every time I play with you guys the kid in the blue and white shorts just stands there and stares at my nipples."
David Beckham

The kids realize Beckham's designer jeans are worth more than all of their clothes combined.

To CD's comment. . . . .

DJ Stone . . also funny. Great way to end my workday - reading these posts.

Do to restructuring LA Galaxy's salary cap to fit in Becks, this is the 2008 team picture.

So which one of you is madonna's new son?

Pamo wins it hands down. I can't touch that.

Geez, Arsenal has really changed since I last played in England. Where's Fabergas?

DuNord Soccer Blog had this:

From the looks of the first picture he appears to be starting a new Fight Club chapter.

Capello's watching this right?

Galaxy releases David Beckham to play in African Nations Cup

After only six months with David Beckham under contract, alot has changed around the Hopme Depot Center.

first choice:
"Simon Fuller shows his true genius by landing David Beckham a casting call for the role of Kunta Kinte."


second choice:
"So poor, so black." - Wolf Blitzer

After intense meetings with the home office, new England manager Fabio Capello has begun to reconstruct his national side with players from the commonwealth. David Beckham will be the only former English international to be retained.

My top 3:

1. Pamo - "We don't want him, we had to have Bono last time!"
2. nicholas skyles - "The always philanthropic David Beckham takes time out to help a struggling, rag-tag group of men in front of a small crowd. And afterwards, he went to Africa to do charity work"
3. Richard - "Beckham and his new team-mates takes to the new Red Bull Park stadium"

Beckham: "You will go through tough times, it's about getting through them."

Alright lads, this next one is what we like to call "Blue Steel".

oh, i want your bod...bod men, by body fantasies.

nicholas skyles was hands down my favorite

The Galaxy spent so much on Beckham's salary that they couldn't afford jerseys and had to move their practice field to Africa to save on rent. Unfortunately for the Galaxy, Beckham chose to play on the local's team because they were all better than the rest of the Galaxy roster.

The Larry Bird Rule: Don't pass to the white guy.

Now that England has failed to make the EURO '08 tournament, he's hoping for citizenship with Angola - a team that willl actually participate in thier continent's premier tournament.

"Hey uh guys, I think I took a wrong turn, do you know the way to the Galaxy training grounds?"

Tony: "David Beckman dances with the Nairobi Chippendales"

He's in Sierra Leone not Kenya. I can't think of anything and I like the pictures that came from this visit to Sierra Leone for his role as a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF, the U.N. child agency. He has my respect for doing humanitarian work.

Strangely, white man with oceans of cash fails to attract anyone's attention on the football pitch

Beckham Discovers that unlike his American Pub Team, African counterparts can't afford jersey's.

Simona,
I think I can talk for everyone who wrote a post that we all respect what Becks is doing, but we just to have a little fun with the overpriced goldenballs.
My favorite is ives, nicholas skyles, or pamo.
Mine is " Becks found a place where no one recognizes him, he then took off his shirt to get attention but only one kid noticed him. he felt like he was in New England.

WHO TOOK MY SHIRT WHILE I WAS IN THE RESTROOM?

nicholas skyles' is unbeatable in this one

I can't take credit for this, my friend mentioned it... "Hey Umbutu, check it out. These things taste just like chicken. Get your spear."

On the set of the THE WHITE SHADOW remake....

Its a walk off
