Bastian Schweinsteiger Is The Banter King Of Chicago

New Chicago Fire man Bastian Schweinsteiger stole Argentine teammate Luis Solignac's phone and used it to crow about the World Cup.
April 26, 2017

When Argentine Chicago Fire forward Luis (Lucho) Solignac left his phone unlocked, his new teammate Bastian Schweinsteiger knew just what to do with it: remind the Argentine, and his followers, who won the World Cup in 2014.

It was Germany. Germany won the World Cup in 2014. Bastian Schweinsteiger played in that game. Lucho Solignac didn't but you can imagine he had a rooting interest just the same.

He said Bastian is his friend! We are very happy to hear that. It's important to put yourself out there and develop friendships when you move to a new place, and work can be an easy place to do that. It'll help relieve the stress of learning a whole new city and culture, for sure.

We imagine many of Solignac's followers are countrymen of his, and they will likely be unhappy with the post. They did, as it happens, lose the 2014 World Cup final to Germany, 1-0.
