England, your new manager has arrived (You Write the Caption special)

Fabio Capello was introduced as England's new manager on Monday. The new highest paid soccer manager in the world must now figure out how to justify his HUGE salary in a year when England won't play any meaningful games for a long while.

Perhaps the funniest, and most fitting aspect of Capello's press conference was him posing above with an England jersey with THE TAG STILL ON IT. Wow. I get that England is paying Capello a lot of money but do they really plan on taking that shirt back to put it on the rack again?

How much is Capello being paid? Try 6.5 million pounds a year, which comes out to like 100 million in U.S. dollars. Okay, I'm kidding, it's about $13.1 million a year in American coin. I know, still depressing.

The above photo merits its own You Write the Caption. It has been a while since the last YTWC. So here is what I will do. I will give you all three Capello photos and you can write captions for any or all of them.

The above photo is Photo ONE. Here are the other two:

CAPELLO PHOTO TWO

CAPELLO PHOTO THREE

So there they are folks. Three great photos of Fabio Capello. Now it's your turn to provide the comedy. If you can't make fun of a soccer coach who just signed a $58 million contract, who can you make fun of?.

Photo #2: "Droopy? Who is this Droopy you speak of?"

Photo #3: "I am Italian. We Italians never crack under the pressure. Never. We never do. Never ever. Why are you looking at me like that? WHY?"

[Dannyc58]

1) What? I always leave the tags on, thats how we do in the hood!

2) My mom didn't want me to take the job? She's a crazy old bat anyway!

3) The Pound sterling is worth how much more??

[PS]

[EDB]

1) I won't be staying long don't worry southgate

2)Me hold grudges? Never!

3)This is the face I want you all to make during press conferences. Maybe the Media will be distracted and not ask why we lost this time

[S. Boy]

1. Do you have this in medium?

2. Gross! They were right about English food.

3. Check out my froggie face! Wait, I'm coaching England?

Can't wait until he finds out that Becks, despite his limitations, is probably the most reliable and international savy player England still has.

Lampard is lacking without quality to play off around him and Stevie G can only play at one speed. Fine in England but not internationally. Then again, most English players only know how to play at one speed, which is why tactically/technically sound teams, who aren't physically overwhelmed can play them fairly well.

Can't wait for the press to pounce once he wants to try something different and the overhyped English Gods will be made hard done by the press. Italian infidel! Can't wait. Fun times ahead in England.

Fun times. There isn't a bunch of classless fans and media who deserve it more.

1) I'm making that much money? I guess I didn't need to pay $14.99 on ebay from a seller in Taiwan.

2) Ewww bitter beer face!! And I thought they have good beer in England.

3) I was told there would be a complete background check, but I didn't think Rooney would personally perform a full body cavity search.

Ives:

Any rumblings about the NCAA joining the rest of the soccer world? The substitution policy, mid-half time outs (hold over from juice and cookie breaks?) and the lack of injury time really damage the game. And that’s a shame – college soccer is getting more entertaining, it is introducing fresh coaching blood into the ranks and gives a lot of guys who have been ignored or missed by US soccer and Olympic development. It also has the potential to create new fans of the pro game.

Getting the college game into alignment with the soccer world can make it a valuable piece of the soccer puzzle in this country. Is this even on the drawing board fro NCAA?
