It has been quite some time since SBI stopped running the popular 'You Write the Caption" series, but I'm here to announce that we are bringing it back.
For those of you new to the site, YWTC is a regular series where we take a photo with comedic potential and let SBI readers give us their take on what the best caption would be for the photo. After hearing from several readers who told us we should bring it back, it is now back in the rotation.
We'll start things off with a picture of U.S. men's national team coach Bob Bradley, who was caught in a reflective moment during the national team's recent friendly vs. Argentina.
Here's the picture (feel free to submit your caption ideas after the jump):

"After watching his defense be abused for 45 minutes, Bob Bradley decided to make the one sub he knew could stop Lionel Messi."

That is our stab at the caption. Submit your own caption in the comments section below and we will pick the five best and have readers vote to pick the best one from those five. The winner of the contest will receive an SBI t-shirt.
Let's hear some captions. Fire away.
I’ll see your yellow triangles and raise you a popped collar, chump!
Bob Bradley tries to convince the authorities that Tim Howard has not robbed Argentina of several goals after his backline let him down. Argentina are pondering pressing charges.
Beat me to it!
In an effort to stop the unstoppable Messi from destroying America, Flint (right) and Destro (left) combine forces.
“It looks like Harkes is trying to audition for a coaching job from the press box, again”
“Dr. Sweatpants or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Route 1.”
Everyone’s eyes turn to the sky to see the only person that can pull out a USMNT winner against ARG…God.
Bob: You know sometimes I stare at the stands wishing Tiffany May would rush out and sprint across that field just one more time.
Office: Mmmmmmm. Yeah. I’d like to tackle that.
Bob Bradley and Henry Rollins caught admiring Sandra Bullock’s tight, black pants on the set of Demolition Man 2. Coach Bradley will be playing himself as the US Soccer coach in the year 2034.
“Think I’ve got a shot with that chick in row 47?”
Look at the little guy (Messi) How does he do that?
“I’m gonna get He-man one way or another!” skelator
After the German influence failed to stop Messi for the first 45 minutes, Bradley was forced to turn to his Russian, “if he dies, he dies,” Plan B.
Excuse me Trooper, you’re escorting me out of here, right?
Are you sure the score board say 1-o, or is that a 10.
“I need you to send the troops to Germany, and bring them back in 20 years with their children”
Terrible, but freaking hilarious.
Henry Rollins perhaps?
Are you here for the Village People tryouts?
No. Wait I didn’t know they had a sweats wearing coach in the Village People. I like!

Bob Bradley stood there and pondered whether he made the correct decision to coach the USMNT for another four years or whether he should have taken that position as Lord Voldemort’s stunt double for the last 2 films.
mmmmmmmsweatpants…….
36 – still no idea.
Guy with headset — “Oh, the humanity!”
…Is that a little girl beside him?
It’s not a sailboat, it’s a Schooner
I should’ve used Preparation H!!!!!
*Sigh* I picked the wrong game to give up smoking and start chewing.
“I cannot believe I forgot Bornstein and Casey”
That’s who it looks like to me.
Is that Harkes in the booth? Who is he with? Wait, that’s my wife!
Military Guy: Yo Bob, did you get a look at those Argentinian fans?
Bob: Yeah, oh yeah…
Your mission is to bring back Lionel Messi, dead or alive!
WINNING
Excuse me Trooper, you are giving me an escort out of here, right?
I’m 30 and I have no idea what you’re talking about.
After watching Argentina dominate the first half, BB: “I don’t understand, Gulati told me that these guys lost 4-0 to Germany last year. Perhaps I should sub in that German-American kid from Bundesliga.”
“Maybe its the romantic in me, but Bob. Kiss me.”
ian darke : mr. bradley, why is that jozy keeps starting? can you even remember the last time he has scored for the US?
bradley: hmmmmm….. ur right, it has been a while
“Is he really sitting in a golden throne?”
Reactions were mixed when Tim Howard had a sudden Tourettes outburst and pantsed Demerit.
Haha. Awesome caption.
if i put my mind to it and think about it hard enough, i can turn Edu into an attacking CM and Onyewu into…well…a parking cone…
“Wait. Did I leave the gas on?”
is it a bird, is it a plane, no it’s Ochocinco flying through the air
LMAO
BB: “Who is going to stop Messi now? Where’s Maradona when you need him?”
Bradley and his Luftwaffe attache stand stunned as ace Timmy Chandler bombs down the right flank.
As John Harkes would say: You’ve done well.
I wonder what they’re writing about me on the Twitter right now…
Is it? Could it be? Hey officer look up there in the distance. I think I see the respect I deserve from USMNT fans.
