Müller was his affable, jovial self as he begins to settle into his post-Bayern club career with an MLS Cup contender

Former Bayern Munich great Thomas Müller is settling into his new life at the Vancouver Whitecaps but admits he has to improve his English as he approaches his planned Major League Soccer debut on Sunday.

Performance in sports humbles predictions. This year I have been wrong on the misfortunes of the Vancouver Canucks and BC Lions and good fortunes of the Toronto Blue Jays and Vancouver Whitecaps. I’m 0-for-4 on my favourite teams.

Thomas Müller was unveiled as a Vancouver Whitecaps player on Thursday, insisting his body felt too good to retire and he intends to win more titles

Thomas Müller was introduced at his new club in Vancouver on Thursday evening in German time. The introductory press conference went pretty much as you would expect from the Bayern legend. The 35-year-old built in a few flippant remarks, including goat noises, during the press conference. But see for yourself.

Müller is survived by his wife Uschi and a daughter, according to the Bayern website. “We’re all united in deep mourning with his wife Uschi as well as his family,” added Hainer.
