PREM GAVE ME CAN-DO ATTITUDE!

- FROM SIMON MULLOCK

CANADA’S Kamal Miller has revealed how watching the Premier League on TV inspired his journey to the World Cup.

Interest in the game has exploded since Canada, who will co-host of the

2026 tournament, qualified for Qatar. But CF Montreal defender Miller 25, (right) says that when he was growing up there was little interest.

He said: “The national team wasn’t doing too well and there wasn’t much interest.

“I was really into my soccer and so I started watching the Premier League. “That was when I decided I wanted to be a big player for Canada and help grow the game here.”
