Thomas Muller jokes he's missing Manuel Neuer as Vancouver adventure begins
Muller joked it was the first time in 15 years he'd flown without Manuel Neuer, the goalkeeper who's been his longtime teammate Published Aug 13, 2025 • 1 minute read Reviews and recommendations are unbiased and products are independently selected.

First up, flying without an old friend. Aboard the plane taking him to Canada and Major League Soccer, Muller joked it was the first time in 15 years he'd flown without Manuel Neuer, the goalkeeper who's been his longtime teammate for Bayern and the German national team. 'I'm on my flight to Vancouver. I'm looking for the GOAT. Can you help me? I cannot find him anywhere,' Muller said in a video on Instagram.

I'm very excited to come to Vancouver to play for the Whitecaps. Fingers crossed for my first games. See you there.' The 35-year-old forward admitted to feeling 'a little bit nervous' in comments to German broadcaster Sky Sport. 'It's the first time in a very long time that I'm joining a new team.' Muller joined Bayern's academy as a 10-year-old in 2000 and had spent his entire career with the German champion, winning a record 13 Bundesliga titles, two Champions Leagues and the World Cup with Germany in 2014. His last game for Bayern was a quarterfinal loss to Paris Saint-Germain at the Club World Cup in Atlanta, after a months-long farewell from the club. Bayern announced in April it wouldn't be extending his contract. Muller said he understood 'even if this did not reflect my personal wishes.' The following weeks saw emotional scenes with teammates, club officials and fans as Muller hit personal milestones — passing his 500th Bundesliga game and 750th game in total for Bayern — and wrapped up yet another German title. Vancouver said last week Muller will join the Whitecaps for the remainder of the season in an open roster spot, with a Designated Player option for 2026.

CBC's outdoor light show illuminates St. John's 2025 Canada Games
From August 14–20, join us near 154 Water Street from dusk until 11 p.m. for a one-of-a-kind, free event. This immersive outdoor experience celebrates the athletes, families, volunteers and fans of the 2025 Canada Games with a light projection show that changes nightly. Strike a pose A selection of photos taken at the CBC Pop-Up Photo Booth in the heart of the Games at Memorial University of Newfoundland will appear throughout the four-minute spectacle, along with daily sport competition photography and video. Bring your winning smile to the CBC photo booth for a chance to be included. Find us outdoors, near the Queen Elizabeth II Library (off Prince Philip Drive, Westerland Road or Elizabeth Avenue) on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays during the two weeks of the 2025 Canada Games from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The music Newfoundland singer-songwriter, composer and filmmaker Ian Foster created the soundscape that will accompany the nightly show. Working closely with Wasko AV, CBC and the Canada Games, Foster's composition enhances images on the screen in a dazzling presentation. "I tried to use musical elements that captured the spirit of the Games in this song, called 'Unity.' Because this is an evolving exhibit, the music is made to loop endlessly, and the flow of the arrangement reflects that," Foster said through email. Foster's original soundscape will accompany photos, video and animation, creating a unique projection show that tells the rich story of the Games. The projection Nick Iwaskow, owner and operator of Wasko AV, worked on the creative design for the projection. In addition to photos from the CBC Pop-Up Photo Booth and competition footage provided by CBC, Iwaskow combines the pictographs from the 2025 Canada Games with original illustration and animation to complete the show. This project helps the community see St. John's and the 2025 Canada Games in a new light. "Each projection is unique and we help bring it to life through subtle motion," Wasko said. "A lot of my job involves seeking opportunities in underutilized spaces in a particular city and dreaming up ways we might find to kind of breathe new life into them. We were thrilled to have helped the city of St. John's in this way during the Canada Games."
