After scoring his first goal with the Vancouver Whitecaps in the 3-2 victory over St. Louis City, M\u00fcller hinted at the inclusion of his teammate, Tristan Blackmon, in the upcoming USMNT friendlies.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>During the international break, we will miss some players. Tristan is nominated for the United States.<\/p><cite>Thomas M\u00fcller<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nM\u00fcller, former Bayern Munich player, quickly realized that the official list had not yet been published. &#8220;If he plays well today&#8230; The match has already been played. In the end, it is what it is, I heard what I heard&#8230; Congratulations to Tristan and congratulations to the United States,&#8221; he added.\n\nBlackmon, 28, was part of the preliminary list for the Gold Cup, but was not included in the final team.\n\nThe USMNT will face South Korea on September 6 in Harrison, New Jersey, and Japan on September 9 in Columbus, Ohio.\n\nIn May, it was reported that the coach of the Canadian Men&#8217;s National Team, Jesse Marsch, had also held conversations with Blackmon about the possibility of him playing for Canada.\n\nAlthough Blackmon was born and raised in Las Vegas, sources indicated that, if he chose to play for Canada, the Canadian Football Association would be willing to expedite his Canadian passport application.\n\nBlackmon has been a key element in the Whitecaps&#8217; defense for the last four seasons, contributing to the team reaching the final of this year&#8217;s Concacaf Champions Cup and their current third place in the MLS Western Conference.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thomas M\u00fcller Reveals Possible Surprise Call-up for the United States National Team German footballer Thomas M\u00fcller may have hinted at a surprise in the call-up for the United States Men&#8217;s National Soccer Team (USMNT).
