From the performance on the pitch to their treatment of some of their most loyal supports, there is nothing to smile about the Chicago Fire this season. But there is one person in the team to smile about: Bastian Schweinsteiger.
Earlier this year the club announced they were flying to Germany to hold a testimonial match with Basti’s original club, Bayern Munich. Basti never really got a proper goodbye when he left the Bavarian giants for Manchester United— and he certainly didn’t get one at all from the latter. Tuesday was going to be his day, and he deserved every moment of it.
