stephaniepixie 🏳️🌈5 years ago who could have predicted that Lionel Messi and Thomas Müller would face off in an MLS Final?
Messi captaining Barça 2.0 (aka Beckham’s Inter Miami) and Müller captaining Western Canada’s club where his Bayern teammate, Alphonso Davies, became a teenage sensation while I lived in the city.
Vancouver Whitecaps might become the only other Canadian club to win an MLS Final next weekend and if they do they’ll join their Northern Super League compatriots the Vancouver Rise in winning a playoff championship.
Müller was seen attending the NSL semi-final win in Vancouver before the Rise went on to win it all in snowy Toronto.
He referred to the Rise as “we” and “us” in an NSL interview because he clearly feels like he belongs in Vancouver.
I want to know if Phonzie convinced him to go play there when so many teams would gladly have welcomed him.
