You Write the Caption: Matchday Edition
Good afternoon folks. Today is the big day. USA vs. Spain. In honor of the big friendly I decided to do a matchday you write the caption.
This won't be an official edition of YWTC, so there won't be a t-shirt given away by SBI sponsor Objectivo Apparel today, but I might change my mind on that if there is enough comedy in the submissions to merit it.
Here it is, a picture of Spain manager Luis Aragones delivering a message to Fernando Torres:
Fernando, I already told you no hat-trick against the USA. You have to save some goals for the tournament.
Now it's your turn. Let's here some funny captions and if there are enough good ones, then I will award the funniest caption a t-shirt of the writer's choice from Objectivo Apparel.
Fire away.

Have a tip, story idea or suggestion? Send it to:
Now, Now Fernando! Don't come crying to me about you losing your Tan in England. The chicks still dig you!!!

JK Ives, I had nothing else. Someone took my glands idea.

Ok Fernando, we get the plastic surgeon to pull your cheeks back and you'll be el nino forever.

Yes the jaw seems intact now, but we will look at it again after you meet Gooch.

Fernando, please focus. Remember those words I taught you? Don't use them today. Jared Borgetti was the last player to call Oguchi Onyewu "negro de mierda."
Posted by: Ethan | June 04, 2008 at 01:01 PM
Fernandooooo....don't worry we'll find Toto.

Wait, you're not Luis Garcia.
Posted by: Grizzly Bear | June 04, 2008 at 01:11 PM
A more complete version...
Aragones: ”We live in a cynical world. A cynical world. And we work in a business of tough competitors. I love you. You … complete me.”
Posted by: Dominghosa | June 04, 2008 at 01:13 PM
Attempt No. 2...
Aragones: ” I know what I want, because I have it in my hands right now. You.”
Posted by: Dominghosa | June 04, 2008 at 01:14 PM
Fernando.....I am your father.
Posted by: Luis | June 04, 2008 at 01:17 PM
Yes, Fernando, you are great. But when you have retired, I will still be coaching this team.
