Big volume in loss
Millar registered one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 2-1 defeat to Switzerland. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 87th minute.
Analysis: Millar was busy throughout Wednesday's match, he sent in four crosses and created a pair of chances. He failed to put his only shot on goal, but Millar was a creative dynamo throughout the match. Millar should be a big part of the starting XI as Canada look to pull off the upset in the round of 32.
Winger eyes bigger role
Millar was one of Hull's most dynamic attacking outlets during the promotion campaign, contributing three goals and five assists across 36 Championship appearances and bringing pace and directness to the left flank throughout the season.
Analysis: Millar's ability to take on defenders, deliver from wide areas and contribute in the final third made him a consistent threat in coach Sergej Jakirovic's system, and his five assists across all competitions underlined his importance as a creative presence. Millar's experience in international football with Canada gives him a competitive edge heading into the Premier League, and his directness and versatility across the attacking line could prove valuable for Hull as they look to establish themselves in the top flight. Staying fit will be the key factor in determining how much of an impact he can make at the higher level.
