WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) Some early UEFA draws yesterday/today and Champion League Preliminary round starts next week. Also, we have our Gold Cup and Octagon schedules to compare. Watching the Euros, so I thought I would start looking at Canadians in the coming Champions League, Europa League and the new Conference League. Living document as it were, add and correct at will. I will start with the basics - pre transfers of course Champions League Group Stage - (Draw – Aug 26) (First Matchday – Sept 14) - Alphonso Davies - Bayern - Jonathan David - Lille - Atiba Hutchison and Cyle Larin - Beskitas. Third Qualifying Round - - Scott Arfield – Malmö (SWE) / HJK Helsinki (FIN) vs Rangers (SCO) (Aug 3) Second Qualifying Round - Milan Borjan - Kairat Almaty (KAZ) vs Crvena zvezda (SRB) (21 July) Will face Alashkert (ARM) / Sheriff Tiraspol (MDA) if they advance. Europa League Third Qualifying Round - David Wotherspoon – PSV Eindhoven (NED) / Galatasaray (TUR) vs St Johnstone (SCO) (Aug 5) Conference League Third Qualifying Round - Stephen Eustáquio - Paços de Ferreira (POR) vs Larne (NIR) / AGF Aarhus (DEN) (Aug 5) Second Qualifying Round - Liam Millar - Basel 1893 (SUI) vs Partizani (ALB) (22 July) Will face Újpest (HUN) / Vaduz (LIE) if they advance. - Michael Argyrides - Larne (NIR) vs AGF Aarhus- (22 July) Will face Paços de Ferreira (POR) if they advance. - Georgi Atanasov - Arda Kardzhali (BUL) / Hapoel Beer-Sheva (ISR) (22 July) Will face Ararat Yerevan (ARM) / Śląsk Wrocław (POL) if they advance.

Atlantic Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I don’t know if it counts but Jules-Anthony Vilsaint is signed with Royal Antwerp who are in Europa League qualifying (although I would assume he will be with their youth team).

nazzer Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I'm a little confused about Besiktas. The uefa site seems to indicate they are in the last qualifying round, but wiki (which is usually quite reliable on this sort of thing) indicates they are in the group stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGAA_Star Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) I hope we get to see more of our guys sign with European clubs because the more guys who do that, the more Canadian players we could potentially have playing Champions League football in the future which does even more wonders for our men's program.

But since Chelsea didn't need the CL winners place (they qualified via their league position) a few teams were bumped up a level. Besiktas were one. If that makes sense?

WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) The third qualifying round draws for UEFA competitions were yesterday, so I updated the following in the original post. Also includes some results. Champions League Third Qualifying Round - - Scott Arfield – Malmö (SWE) / HJK Helsinki (FIN) vs Rangers (SCO) (Aug 3) Second Qualifying Round - Milan Borjan - Kairat Almaty (KAZ) vs Crvena zvezda (SRB) (21 July) Will face Alashkert (ARM) / Sheriff Tiraspol (MDA) if they advance. Europa League Third Qualifying Round - David Wotherspoon – PSV Eindhoven (NED) / Galatasaray (TUR) vs St Johnstone (SCO) (Aug 5) Conference League Third Qualifying Round - Stephen Eustáquio - Paços de Ferreira (POR) vs Larne (NIR) / AGF Aarhus (DEN) (Aug 5) Second Qualifying Round - Liam Millar - Basel 1893 (SUI) vs Partizani (ALB) (22 July) Will face Újpest (HUN) / Vaduz (LIE) if they advance. - Michael Argyrides - Larne (NIR) vs AGF Aarhus- (22 July) Will face Paços de Ferreira (POR) if they advance. Argyrides has yet to play for Larne (been the backup keeper), but a possible interesting match up there if Eustaquio remains with Pacos. Was always going to be tough draw for St Johnstone (Champions League drop downs), on paper does not look bad for some of the others. I have not included some players that I am unsure will be with senior squads like Jules-Anthony Vilsaint. But again any additions/corrections would be great.

Eustaquio could become my favourite player ever if he is still there and they dump out the fine gentlemen from North London. That said they are getting a little ahead of themselves, aren't they? Still have to beat the NI team. Edited August 2, 2021 by WestHamCanadianinOxford Corazon, narduch and johnyb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
