Less than 24 hours after being named as a starter to Major League Soccer’s Team of the week, it’s clear Wyatt Omsberg has let nothing go to his head.
It’s Tuesday. The grass at the Chicago Fire’s training pitch in Bridgeview has started to wake up for spring, and Omsberg is busy walking around with an adidas soccer bag in hand. As we wait for him to come over for our interview, he’s filling the giant black bag with the soccer balls used for the now-completed training session, which are scattered around everywhere.
Omsberg uses his 6’ 4” frame to grab one out that’s trapped high in the net behind the goal.
