You Write The Caption: USA-Mexico edition

Good afternoon folks. Apologies for the light posting today but I’m still recovering from the trip to Houston. I had a good time in Texas but am definitely glad to be back in Jersey.

Before we get to the weekend I thought it would be a good time for another You Write the Caption. When I saw this photo I knew American soccer fans could have a field day with it, so here goes. After the jump is a photo that will make U.S. fans smile and Mexico fans cringe. Share your caption ideas after the jump:

"Rafael Marquez is given a harsh reminder of why he never wanted to be a matador."

Now it’s your turn. Let’s get some good captions and I will post the Top 10 on Monday.

  1. “Bob Bradley: Sweep the leg Jozy.

    Onyewu: Put him in a body bag, yeah!

    Posted by: Arriaga”

    Wow…put this guy at #1…best Karate Kid reference…ever. “Sweep the leg” is awesome, but including “put him in a body bag, yeah!” takes it to a whole other level. Well played, sir.

  2. And one more, playing off of Joe_in_ND’s earlier post:

    Joe_in_ND: Jozy is amazed by Rafa’s ability to perform the “Stop! Drop! And Roll!” right in the middle of the game.

    My addition: Perhaps Rafa just took it too literally when Hugo Sanchez said that his job was to “put out fires” in the back.

  3. how about this caption?

    “Rafa I love Barca, maybe someday I can shine your shoes? ohh by the way, I’m sorry I’m used to the BS physical style of MLS Soccer, I didn’t know I couldn’t hack at your heels all night and not get a yellow!”

    Jozy needs to learn how to control himself, he stepped on Rafa quite a few times, then I realized the kid has like size 14 feet!!!

  4. Mexican national team defender Rafa Marquez unsuccessfully attempts his patented “Backspin” defense, allegedly developed after several hundred viewings of “Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo,” on American phenom Jozy Altidore.

  5. Caption 1:

    Rafa: Damn, Gringo,that is one ugly uni. Couldn’t the kids in those swoosh sweatshops (or swoosh shops) do any better?

    Caption 2:

    This is something you will never see Sportscenter announcers fawning over.

  6. First part didn’t make it for some reason:

    Jozy “All right, we’ll call it a draw”
    Rafa “Oh I see. Running away, eh? You Gringo bastard, come back here and take what’s comming to you! I’ll bite your legs off!”

    Jozy: “Get to landscapin’!”

  9. First, Rafa was embarassed by the Gooch stare, now the Jozy speed express makes him look bad…maybe Rafa should stay on the bench next time; next thing you know, he’ll be beaten by our U-16 players.
