Caption Contest: Gheorghe Muresan edition
07/28/2008 12:18 PM by Kyle Sheldon
Earlier this year, former Washington Bullet Gheorghe Muresan visited the D.C. United locker room. The Romanian is a big soccer fan and attends a few United games each year. The 7-foot, 7-inch Muresan is pictured below with Brazilians Luciano Emilio and Fred. The three serve as the subjects for our first Behind The Badge Caption Content.
Simply drop captions for Gheorghe, Luciano and Fred in the comment section below, remembering to keep all entries clean and family-friendly. We'll pick our favorite and award the winner four tickets to an upcoming D.C. United game.
Entries will be accepted through Friday, August 1. Best of luck.

Tommy Soehn: "During the summer transfer window we have decided to sign 7'7'' Gheorghe Muresan. I figured if New York can win the Super Bowl with Giants... DC can win the MLS cup with a Giant too."

Emilio and Fred traded their soccer boots for some magic beans. Once planted at RFK - the beans turned into a beanstalk. The two players climbed the beanstalk and met former Washington Wizard Gheorghe Muresan who told them... "FE FI FO FUM! Trading Gomez was really dumb!"

Fred: Luciano, do you think we should tell him?
Emilio: No, it would break his heart.
Gheorge: Tell me what?
Fred: Murry, you're not an elf. You're too big.
Gheorge: Whattt? Whattt? *Faints like a beanstalk*

Luciano thinking to himself: That fart is horrendous.
Gheorge thinking to himself: I just let out a stinkie! he he.
Fred thinking to himself: Mmmm, smells like Australia.

(Really, I came up with this before I saw BBBulldog's post.)
Franco Niell sez: Ha!! I'm not so short after all!!

The rat infestation reaches epic proportions when Muresan has to be called in to catch them!
Please get these guys a new stadium!

With RFK stadium falling apart, DC United has signed Gheorghe Muresan to act as a mobile support beam.
------------------------------------------
Look! Sunflower seeds!
------------------------------------------
In an attempt to outdo Portsmouth for tallest striker on the roster, DC United have signed new striker Gheorghe Muresan. DCU have also announced they are also bringing back Franco Niell to confuse the opposition.

And for the second half of the season, we plan to position Gheorghe, here, in front of the opponent's goal while the rest of us just kick balls towards his head for easy deflections into the net. Our estimates show we could gain 30-40 goals per game! He will change the world of soccer as we know it!

Man Emilio and Fred look bigger on TV.

Romanian: Toate sunt Brazilians dvs. pentru a-mi apartin
English: All of your Brazilians are belong to me.

Gheorge :: Kyle, I have decided to kill you with one absenting.
Luciano :: (to Kyle)Sorry about this but I have to be fair.
Kyle :: Oh, that's all right. So you are going to kill me with your big axe.
Fred :: Dagger.
Luciano :: Mace is quicker.
Gheorge :: No, no, the sword, it's easier.
Luciano :: He said axe.
Kyle :: Look, hurry up six eyes, or I shall cut your head off.

*whistles* Which one of these things is not like the other...which one of these things doesn't belong?

Hey Emillio, I can see your house from here.

It's a shame Emilio and Fred wore horizontal stripes. Vertical stripes make you look taller.

Fred wears #7 because he's exactly 1/2 the size of the Bullets' old #77
(I think BBBulldog should win the contest)

I'm with Tony, if BBBulldog doesn't win this, the fix was in. Unless of course somebody comes up with something remarkable in the next day.

Gheorghe checks out the lovely ladies from Republic Deportiva who just made it from the press box down to the locker room.

Was there ever a winner chosen? Did I miss it somehow/somewhere? Who was the lucky comedic captioner?

A 2006 Washington Post article said his two children ages 8 and 6, were budding soccer stars. Any idea if they are still playing?
