When Thomas Müller arranged for his parents to come out to Vancouver for his birthday, his message was clear: It was matchday, before it was a birthday.
Playing in front of his parents for the first time in a non-Germany or FC Bayern Munich kit on Saturday, he put together quite the 36th birthday celebration, scoring a hat-trick and providing an assist in Vancouver’s 7-0 trouncing of the Supporters’ Shield-leading Philadelphia Union.
