Unnamed Trialist Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) They ended 2-4, good result. They can't win the league, or very hard, but can end 2nd, which I think gives them entry into a Conference League qualifying round. I have no idea why a league winner gets into a CL qualifying round, but 2nd place does not get into Europa League qualifying. What's the logic? I see in a few years they may adjust and have the Cup winner go to Europa League, but I don't think that is the case yet.

Basically it's because UEFA has doctored the allocation of spots to ensure more teams from the bigger leagues get into Champions League directly (and to a lesser extent Europa League) Unnamed Trialist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect that the Swiss league is 20th in Europe, which is not very good; I also guess that since Young Boys have won the last four leagues and have done little in Europe, that does¡n't help. But still: if your best goes into a qualifying CL round, the next should go into a qualifying Europa League round, at least, that is how I see it. I see that in 23-24, the Swiss Cup champion goes into Europa League. But until then, the Cup champ also goes into early previous rounds of Conference. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the past the top 4 leagues would get 4 UCL berths. 2 would qualify for the Group Stage automatically and 2 would go to the qualifying stages. That's now all 4 go directly to the Group Stage It basically snowballs from there Edited March 20, 2022 by narduch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryker911 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 For some morning good news. Millar was nominated for player of the month in the Swiss league along with 4 other players. Needs to get an opportunity on Sunday. I wasn't overly impressed with Tajon yesterday, but to be fair to him, he was in space alot on the right and the ball wasn't played to him. grigorio, costarg, dyslexic nam and 8 others 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am cheering Liam on and want him to get minutes - but definitely disagree about Tajon. He was involved in a ton of our offence, hit the crossbar for what could have been the tying goal, and generally had a very strong match in my opinion.

spitfire Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I think Tajon had a really good game when he got on the ball was really a handful running at players. (needed to see more of the ball imho) But if I'm being honest should have scored the header...Navas made the save before and was on the ground in no mans land.. anything on target is in(he hit the crossbar) pretty much an open net...(I rewatched to hi lights...) sose, h coach, N1ckbr0wn and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOcanadafan Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 With Liam and Ugbo on good form, there was no reason why the pair of them shouldn't have gotten the start vs. Panama in that final qualifier.

gator Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 With all the goals he has scored including a beauty today I just shake my head and wonder why the hell he didn't see the pitch for 1 minute in this last window especially when we were chasing 2 of the games!

SpursFlu Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I can see him overtaken Tajon. He'll need to get a run of games in the Canadian shirt to do so I think. Nations League could be his chance red card and Shway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodgkiss Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Although... i like that some players haven't featured much for Canada so that we might have the element of surprise for teams like Belgium who obviously do a lot of homework before matches... Millar is part of the team for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
