Canadian championship

FIFA World Cup: Vancouver Whitecaps striker Thomas Muller said his phone hasn't stopped ringing after winning the 35th title of his career, making him the most decorated player in German football history. Friends, former teammates, and relatives called to congratulate the 36-year-old, who surpassed ex-Bayern Munich teammate Toni Kroos, winner of 34 titles. Both lifted the 2014 FIFA World Cup together.

Muller's latest honour came with the Canadian Championship, as the Whitecaps beat Vancouver FC 4-2 in the final to clinch a spot in the CONCACAF Champions League, reports Xinhua. He also netted his 300th career goal, converting a penalty for his side's second. Afterwards, he marked the milestone by presenting a small cake decorated with a golden "300."

Just weeks after his birthday on September 13, Muller joked that during a visit from his parents, "I told them, it's matchday, not birthday."
