I Want To Show You This Video Of Bastian Schweinsteiger Busting Loose

The Chicago Fire defeated Louisville City 4-0 in the U.S. Open Cup yesterday, and Bastian Schweinsteiger delivered an assist that was reminiscent of his charging forth at the 2006 World Cup. Have some, Costa Rica. 

Here’s Schweinsteiger dictating play in the final third before playing the easy ball. Would Germany have benefitted from convincing Schweinsteiger to come out of international retirement to play in Russia? No, but that’s a pretty good shit take to get the people riled up.

It’s just worth remembering that Schweinsteiger was an absolute monster, and on the verge of his 34th birthday, he’s still a colossus of the midfield.

The Chicago Fire host Toronto FC on Saturday at Toyota Park, where Michael Bradley will be widely berated.
