Lol what?!
It's because Latin players are fiery and passionate! I'm sort of kidding, but they REALLY play up to the stereotype. lol.
A lot of it comes down to the refereeing standard. There's a reason why every Canadian broadcase has to bring up the CONCACAF and CONMEBOL refs. They allow more tugging and grabbing than other regions, they allow more handwork on jump balls, and they are generally less consistent across the board.

Thanks for providing that, it's interesting.
Canada is officially 48th (Fifa rankings only update periodically) but the points are all based on taking the pre-tournament points and adjusting for every game.
I thought he played fairly well after the first game. Something important to keep in mind is that Millar is a 24 year-old playing in the English Championship. While he has the physical attributes to be very good for Canada, he needs to find his way into Basel (or some other bigger club)'s first team so he gets used to a higher level of competition.

Losing to Forge was the last straw I guess. Happy my local club can help my TFC fandom as well.MLSE parts ways with TFC, Argonauts president Manning | TSN

FC Basel and the Swiss League does not offer better competition then the Championship and Preston North End. Especially last season when Basel was an absolute mess and Preston was pushing for promotion (until they fell off in the final 6 weeks of the season). If Basel had a European spot, I'd probably feel differently. Maybe they can get back to those levels but they have been declining the past couple of season.
I just think that it is unfair to expect a lot of a kid playing 2nd league versus Argentina. This is part of why Canada needs more players in general available who play in better leagues.
For sure! It's coming, over the next couple of years I bet our European player base doubles.
It's simply a terrible take lol.
Millar is not a midfielder... he plays LW that's his main position and the position he prefers to play that's a forward / attacker position in soccer not a midfielder and he was playing LW for Canada not midfield.... just because a coach has put him in midfield before doesn't make him a midfielder.
He played more advanced for Marsch then he has in the past, but he is not an out and out LW like you are describing. For Preston though he played more as a left midfielder/ LWB and has much more defensive duties. That's partially why I think he keeps getting picked. Millar tracks back well and provides support on the left. It makes it easier for Davies to overlap/carry the ball with that coverage.
He's played LW all the time and has played LW for the past how many years he's been on the Canadian team, don't know what you're talking about he most defiantly is a LW and plays there 90% of the time. If he's there for his defensive purposes then use him as a LB... You don't use LW's for their defensive game you use them for their attacking game because at the end of the day that's what they are there to do.
