I guess it's hot stove season, eh?
Word comes today- courtesy of the suffocating soccer media environment that is Manchester, England - that Chicago Fire head coach Velko Paunovic spent four hours having lunch with Germany and 32-year-old Bayern Munich legend Bastian Schweinsteiger. So protracted were their discussions that the Express got a photographer there in time to capture Paunovic and Schweinsteiger leaving a couple minutes apart, like married lovers on an assignation.
Schweinsteiger's situation is almost unique - a bona fide Bayern Munich legend, he was deemed surplus to requirements at only 30 after captaining the Bundesliga giants for years and moved on to Manchester United.
