One of the most bizarre aspects of the U.S. men's national team's 2-2 vs. Costa Rica was Costa Rican head coach Rene Simoes' ejection and the subsequent dust-up that saw a team trainer also tossed and Simoes escorted from the field by security.
That scene not only contributed to the additional stoppage time the United States used to find last-gasp equalizer, it also provided some comic relief.
With that in mind, here is our latest You Write the Caption:
