Chances are that in the midst of your celebrating the U.S. team's rousing 3-0 victory against Trinidad & Tobago you might have missed Mexico's meltdown in Honduras.
Our neighbors to the south had a terrible time in San Pedro Sula, falling 3-1 to a Honduran team that has leapfrogged them in the CONCACAF qualifying standings. The defeat has Sven Goran Eriksson in danger of losing his job (again) and has Mexican fans nervous heading into a difficult summer.
We here at SBI never miss a chance to focus on the Mexican national team's struggles (we are, after all, an American soccer website) so we thought it was a good time to bring back You Write the Caption. We have a photo of Sven and everybody's favorite Uruguayan Mexican striker, Nery Castillo, for you to consider. The best caption submitted for the contest will win one of our new SBI Mafia t-shirts by Objectivo.
Enjoy.
"Nery, this is two jobs I lose with you on the team. You don't think I noticed the pattern?"
or
"Don't even think about asking me to bring you to Portsmouth."
Now it's your turn. Share your best caption entry for the above photos and we will select the ten best entries before allowing readers to choose the best from those ten.
The winning caption will win an SBI Mafia t-shirt. If you haven't ordered yours yet, what are you waiting for?
Now, send in your captions.
sorry make that 3
2 tequilas porfavor!!…
So this is why you’re called El Tri?
This will be 3 teams in 3 yrs that have fired me Nery. See, we do have things in common!
Nery you’re not winning the pool! Why? Because I have North Carolina, UConn, and Michigan State in the Final Four, that’s why…you have no one left…your Final Four was Arizona, Texas A&M, Texas, and Stephen F. Austin…
Nery, you’re sleeping on the couch tonight!!
“Three! That’s how many games I’ll get as coach of Mexico in teh hexagonal before I’m sent packing, just three! I hope you’re happy Nery! You’re not going to qualify with any other coach, either!”
I told you I’m a magician! Watch Honduras score three goals and I’ll disappear!
“Hey Kid, let me tell you, Altidore got 3 tonight, why can’t you at least get one… @#*^%! Gringo!
Nery. When will we ever pick up 3 points on the road in CONCACAF?. I’m sick of always losing by 2 goals!
The cartel said they would cut off my head, please help!!!!
Unless you want to go work in the Mexican Media you better get me 3 and NOW.
the shocker didnt work in england either
Uno – Dos – El Tri I’m Gone!
Simple yet to the point:
“Shut Up Sven!!!!!!!!!!!”
Nery: They made me mad! They all laugh at me!
Sven: Well ugh . . . an eye brow is to be . . . no more than 3 inches! Comprende?
I have 3 dates tonight after the game, one with an Uruguayan, one with a Brazilian, and one with an Argentinian. My plan is to see if they have any brothers who play futbol. This way I will eventually not have to start any true mexican players. Nery can you say revolution, HA, HA, HA HAH.
After failing to learn Spanish, Sven tries to solve the communication problem with American Sign Language.
“You’re telling me you’re going to score three goals? You’re club team cant even get three POINTS!”
“here, let me snip that unibrow for you”
we’ll wait until they score 3 goals before we begin our comeback.
“I will only tolerate you calling me “It” and telling me to shut up when we are winning!”
Nery you told me there were only three ay’s in “ay ay ay ay, canta y no llores”
Please let me fly back to Europe with you, Nery! I don’t want to stay in Mexico… I’m begging you!
“Yes, you’re once…twice….THREE times a lady. And I love you.”
Sven: “I miss Wayne!”
“Yes, Nery, that’s right. The 3 a.m. flight. I need to get out of this country ahead of the mob. You know what happened to Trotsky here.”
What do you mean you’re not really Borat?! Then why did you wrestle naked with me in the elevator?!?
Well, Well, Well, I did not know those three women were related to you. I am so sorry Nery.
“DAMN IT NERY! DON’T BRING MY MOTHER INTO THIS”
Look I only have 3 fingers, they cut off two of my fingers for losing to the US! What will they do to me this time?
We are suppose to lose Dos a Cero, not Tres a Cero!
“Shave the unibrow and this is how many girls you’ll get…”
Three strikes. I’m OUT!!
I got just three words for you Nery… “You got owned.”
“NERY!, This is why we can never have anythign nice.”
“Keep playing this bad, and it will be 3-0 for the U.S. next time!”
There’s only one person that can tell me to shut up, Nery, and it’s NOT you!
“Nery, we need three goals,talk to the referee and see what he can do,tell him to make two more dodgy penalty calls or Im packing my chips and salsa.”
(singing) For it’s one! Two! Three strikes you’re out of this soccer game!
“Bork Bork Bork, firsta ya take-a da Meataball and ya put it in da uder goal. Don’t a-let da meatball in-a your goal! Bork Bork Bork.”

THANK YOU!!!
I was waiting for a Swedish Chef reference. You get my vote already.
Ha-Ha, Nery, you can’t stop me! Now that I’m done destroying this countries national team I’m taking your unibrow as a souvenir! Snip Snip.
Be Champions.
Hey, when I took this job you never explained to me that El Tri literally translated to “only 3 points”. If only I would have known.
“I vont be back.”
Hey Nery, tell me if my thumb smells differently than my fingers.
Sven shouting
“I hope all of you lose your damn passports”.
Or
These are the three fingers the Drug cartles are going to cut off.
Or
This is how they got us by our short hairs.
“Nery, very soon I’m going to be in Europe and you’re NOT!”
“Three goals, Nery. UNACCEPTABLE!”
“Sven, you know the difference? I’m in Europe and you’re in Mexico. And you’re always gonna be, uh, always… never mind.”
Sven emphatically tells Nery Castillo exactly how many chickens he will have to sacrifice to remain Mexican national team coach after their loss to Honduras, while Castillo looks on pondering whether or not to reveal himself as the illegitimate son of Claudio Reyna.
Just grab a pair of scissors, snip like this and that uni-brow can slow you down no longer!
