What can we expect to see during the match between the Chicago Fire and the Montreal Impact Saturday, which could mark Bastian Schweinsteiger's debut in the USA?

The first thing that we can expect to see is a motivated and energetic crowd. The last time the Fire had a legend in their midst was in 2007 when Mexican hero Cuauhtemoc Blanco joined the team.

The United States’ recent match against Panama conjured memories of one of the greatest performances by any American in World Cup qualifying. Eddie Johnson, then just 20 years old, took his total to four goals in only two international appearances by scoring a hat trick against Panama in only seventeen-minutes back in 2004.

A very interesting guest was on hand for the Chicago Bulls' win over the Cleveland Cavaliers Thursday night in Chicago, a man who was once at the top of his sport but has seen the sands of time take their inevitable toll. He is not what he once was, though he can still be effective at times. It is, perhaps, better to remember the good times, all those years ago, when he was the best in the world at what he did, than to look upon him now, a shadow of his former self.

But enough about Dwyane Wade. Bastian Schweinsteiger was there!

Bastian Schweinsteiger is in soccer limbo. He's caught in-between Manchester United, who do not want him, and the Chicago Fire, who want him but cannot have him until his visa clears.

So Schweinsteiger is left to his own devices, which have brought him to Mallorca to train until he's legally allowed to enter the United States.
