VANCOUVER, BC – Carl Robinson was asked this week about his memories playing against Bastian Schweinsteiger, who Vancouver Whitecaps FC are set to face on Saturday when they pay visit to Chicago Fire at Toyota Park (4 p.m. PT on TSN1 and TSN 1410 radio).
His answer: “Not good.”
Robinson, a former Welsh international, went head-to-head with the longtime Bayern Munich midfielder in a Euro 2008 qualifying match at Millennium Stadium back in 2007.
Germany won the match 2-0.
“I actually said to the guys the other day that he was probably the hardest player I played against,” Robinson told reporters.
