Thomas Müller arrived in MLS in the summer of 2025 and with it, the expectations of the American league grew even more, as they added a new European soccer star who was also a rival of Messi on several occasions. The former Bayern Munich striker signed for Vancouver Whitecaps and after several months of adaptation, he has decided to give his opinion on soccer on this side of the world.
Muller came from playing in incredible stadiums and in a country where soccer is very relevant, so he experienced a new reality in MLS after seeing that this sport is still growing in popularity.
Thomas Müller shows some disappointment with MLS
While European soccer players come to MLS with the idea of ending their careers and playing with less pressure, it seems that Müller was looking to continue with a full soccer environment, as in his recent statements he seemed somewhat “disappointed.”
In conversation with Men In Blazers, Muller revealed his perception of soccer in the USA.
Football here still doesn’t have much relevance in the life of the general population. It’s not talked about in the office on a Monday morning
Despite his first perception, Müller did explain that in the stadiums the situation is different. “But the football bubble is actually not that small. In the stadium there is an euphoric atmosphere. People are interested in the game”.
Thomas Müller wants his revenge in MLS
Muller’s arrival in MLS was a good one at first. The player even reached the final of the tournament against Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami, but ended up losing, thus breaking his good run of matches against the Argentine.
After losing the final, Muller is focused on having a better 2026 and the start of the season has been good, as his club has two wins from two games played, so for now, they are on the right track.
The German striker got tired of winning titles in Germany and now wants to do so in MLS, but it will not be easy, as Messi will be looking for a second consecutive title in a battle that promises more excitement than ever.
