Canadians in UEFA Competitions - 2008/2009


Recommended Posts

With the draw today for the CL and UEFA Cups, I figured I would start a thread to track Canadians in these events.

Champions League

As far as I can tell there were no teams with Canadians in the first and second round draw of the Champions League:

what about Klukowski and Hirschfeld?

I know Hirschfeld's club qualified for a CL spot. Did Brugge qualify for a CL or UEFA spot? I know they (Brugges) are in Europe this year but not sure which competition.

What about Atiba with Kobenhavn? Surely they must be in the mix as they always are?

Guest Jeffery S.

Didn't Lillestrom qualify on the basis of their 2007 Cup win? Just They came fourth and won the cup which puts them in as a Norway rep. Would be Occean then.

Yes, there are more Canadians involved. I only noted the ones that are playing in the most immediate rounds. I'll try to get the rest down later today.

Edit: Ok, so I updated most of the other rounds. I didn't include Hainault (Sparta), Stalteri (Spurs), Johnson (Heerenveen), Lensky (Feyenoord) and Begovic (Portsmouth) because of the club situations of all these players.

Just to bump this thread up, Julian DeGuzman and Deportivo will be playing Bnei Sakhnin of Israel in the last round of the Intertoto Cup. The 2-leg series starts next weekend and finishes the following weekend.

Edit: Deptortivo has advanced to the UEFA Cup 2nd qualifying round. They will be a seeded team so they should have a decent chance to get the the 1st round.

Don't forget John Toner who's New Saints are about to be eliminated from the first qualifying round of the UEFA Cup.

Thanks for the heads up. When I first checked the result I didn't see him in the line up. I don't want to add players to the list if they are on the periphery of their respective squads. But when I check now I see that he was on the bench, so I will definitely add him.

I'll clean the first post up later (and include Jakovic who has been playing for Red Star).

Here are the draw results and the Canadian implications:

Champions League:

Lars Hirschfeld - CFR Cluj - in Group A with Chelsea, Roma and Bordeaux.

UEFA Cup:

Mike Klukowski - BSC Young Boys (SUI) v Club Brugge KV (BEL)

Julian De Guzman - SK Brann (NOR) v RC Deportivo La Coruña (ESP)

Atiba Hutchinson - FC København (DEN) v FC Moskva (RUS)

Patrice Bernier + Issey Nakajima-Farran - FC Nordsjælland (DEN) v Olympiacos CFP (GRE)

This is a knock out stage. After this round the group stage starts.

Feel free to check if I missed anyone. http://www.uefa.com/competitions/uefacup/news/kind=1/newsid=743487.html

I left out Paul Stalteri, not sure what to do with him.
