It's called soccerrrrrrr!!! ⚽⚽⚽
Surreal seeing two players with #cf97 connections in the World Cup opener.
VAMOS.
Sources: Polish superstar Robert Lewandowski is en route to Chicago for a visit.
Hearing billboards welcoming him to the city are going up around town.
NO signing yet, but sure seems like the Chicago Fire are rolling out the red carpet for Lewa.

"several ticketed fans could be seen standing in concourses"
Hear that? SEVERAL!
So far, both World Cup hosts have gotten results – Mexico a W, Canada a D – and they've been the better team on the day, but both have come out flatter than you'd expect for a home team with serious ambitions.
Will the USMNT be able to buck the trend?
Just had Haitian Uber driver from USMNT watch party, who talked Haiti's WC hopes & experience moving here and learning Spanish & English watching ⚽.
World Cup is still a great moment of bringing people together.
Don't let cynical cash grabs or politics take that away from you. Or us.
The Fire may still not be able to nab Lewandowski, but Lewa's camp seem very, very serious.
We're winning the World Cup*
(*Maybe, probably not)
