You Write the Caption: The Ballack-Referee Edition

Good afternoon and welcome to the latest installment of You Write the Caption, the contest where we ask readers to submit their funniest captions to go with the humorous soccer-related photos we find.

Congratulations to SBI reader Blake for winning the last YWTC contest, the Liverpool Lovebirds edition. For his win, Blake will receive a free Navy SBI Mafia t-shirt, courtesy of Objectivo Apparel.

The latest installment of YWTC brings us back to Barcelona's thrilling tie vs. Chelsea last week, and specifically the photo is taken from Michael Ballack's enthusiastic complaints to Norwegian referee Tom Henning Ovrebo.

Here is the photo, along with our own caption suggestion:
