Bastian Schweinsteiger Might Help Bring A World Cup Title To Chicago Afterall

Last November, Bastian Schweinsteiger and his wife, tennis star Ana Ivanovic, announced that they were having a child. The announcement was absolutely adorable: a picture of three sets of Yeezy 350s, with one meant for a baby.

Since Basti re-signed with the Chicago Fire for the 2018 season, their new child will presumably be born here in the Chicago area. Which is to say: on US soil.

You see where we’re going with this.

Per Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, Basti and Ana’s kid will be an American citizen.
