Good crazy! I was checking here, after finding nothing on the Fire site, looking for info on a webcasted introduction/presser today. Just wonderin'.
The press conference is at 1:30 pm. The team's press release says you can watch it live on Twitter, but hopefully it's also on Youtube or something.
The Polish coverage of the Fire is another universe I am not used to. They're talking about who Robert's #1 connection will be. MHS, Franco being mentioned...

Was an entertaining watch...such a polished professional! After sharing 'I'm going to have to get used to everyone calling it soccer...there is a ball and feet...so I don't get it'. And then every time he said 'soccer' he would hold in a chuckle. His multi-lingual fluency was on full display, happily answering questions in English, Polish and Spanish. One chuckle for me, Alex asked if he had talked with Mueller, Basti, and Shaqiri about the club and the city...to which he said 'of course I spoke with Thomas and Basti'
I'm hoping someone is diligently on their laptop in the iMovie suite compressing the audio and making a You Tube video of the entire thing. I would totally watch it....if it was watchable?
To be honest, unless you speak/understand Polish I'd just wait for the reporters to post their info about it.
"Will he help the Fire win the World Cup?" If that question was not asked, the press conference was a fail!
It was so cool to see him handle questions in 3 languages, hopefully he gets a German reporter after the Vancouver game so he can flex that.
Yeah so pretty disappointed from the Fire honestly about the whole thing for Lewandowski.....not to go full scorched earth like the Poland press but no videos or anything about him joining.....I created a thread on Reddit but the Greizmann press conference they had him speaking in French going through his career. Press conference was really nice too. This after a practice and again as someone said looks like right in the middle of....not great. It's the biggest signing the team has arguably ever had....disappointing for sure.
🗣️ @pustulkaa: Ogłoszenie transferu Roberta Lewandowskiego to zupełnie zmarnowany potencjał. To, ile jest polskich wątków w samym Chicago... Można było zrobić klip z postaciami z miasta, z innymi sportowcami - takie coś robią inne kluby MLS. Można zrobić super materiał bez… pic.twitter.com/JAz8Q3NcTo— Meczyki.pl (@Meczykipl) July 14, 2026
Really, folks? Pissed about a press conference? You all are just looking for this to bitch about, huh? I think we are so used to EVERYTHING sucking that the slightest hiccup and it is "here we go again, this is a waste." Let it play out, please.
It’s not just a press conference. It’s how the front office does not treat the entirety of what they do as being a member of a greater community. They are closed off. I’m not saying the players should go to fans’ homes for dinner but the front office should give a crap about building for the long term, and not just physical construction building. As for the press conference, it was a once in a lifetime marketing opportunity but there should be others during Lewandowski’s time. Basti spent more time getting on TV around Chicago than he spent in midfield. I don’t know if Lewandowski wants to be spotted at a Cubs game but the opportunities will be there.
I mean, we made the goofy commercial for Przybylko at the deli when we signed him from Philly. Social Media eats this shit up so it's just another time we've shot ourselves in the foot.
The Mälort one with Beric was the best. Shaqiri’s was pretty good too. I guess the intern graduated who used to do this stuff. My Lewy jersey arrived today. Nice surprise,
This was apart of the welcome as someone else in Reddit 2 distinct differences but this is the extended part....I clipped it right at the part that was cool at least I thought I did but it starts at 2:35 lol....a little montage of talking through his career.
