Saw this on Twitter last night and thought it was pretty cool. Map of the League winners across Europe.

Only problem with that is they're not all league winners, some of the leagues aren't finished. Wales is covered by Leicester despite The New Saints winning the title and there are also no Orkney islands but who really cares about them.

Doesn't detract from the fact that it is still cool :P

Looking like CSKA will hold on for the title, as can't see Rubin Kazan with nothing to play for turning this one around.

 

The relegation dogfight still looking very complicated. Ufa, Anzhi, Kuban and Dinamo fighting over 1 safety position, with 1 point between them all. Mordovya look gone.

They finished 4th last season. Having a look on Soccerway, they've won two of their last 20 games. Including today, they've lost eight of their last 10.

 

Igor Denisov and Aleksei Ionov play for the Russian national team and Pogbrebnyak, Hubocan and Chris Samba also play for them.

I see that the Danish 1st Division has 3 promotion places this season, with only 1 going down, so looks like they're changing from a 12-team to 14-team Superliga next season.

 

I wonder how quickly Neil Doncaster will clock on and try to copy this one.

Updated the giant post again.

 

Moldova's league has gone to a playoff to be played tomorrow, the winner of that match between Dacia and Sheriff will be the outright champions after they finished evel on points.

 

No idea why head to head record isn't used as the primary ranking tool when teams are level in points everywhere.

Skonto Riga were booted out of the Latvian top flight at the beginning of the 2016 for licensing issues, first time since Latvian freedom from the USSR that Skonto have not competed in the top level in the country.

 

Crazy to think so many recognisable names across the continent have now totally fallen by the wayside.

 

 

Speaking of the USSR and Russia, the post-season playoffs between the Russian top flight and second tier took place over the past week.

 

Anzhi Makhachkala, promoted last season, and Kuban Krasnodar took on the FNL pair of Tom Tomsk and Volgar Astrakhan.

 

Playoff results:

 

Volgar Astrakhan 0-1 Anzhi

Kuban 1-0 Tom Tomsk

 

Tom Tomsk 2-0 Kuban

Anzhi 2-0 Volgar Astrakhan

 

 

This means that Kuban, who once faced Motherwell in the Europa League, have been relegated alongside Dinamo Moscow and Mordovia Saransk.

FC Zürich won the Swiss Cup yesterday, beating Lugano 1-0 in the final.

 

The fans who chased the players into the dressing room following Wednesdays relegation must have given the squad all the motivation they needed.

**Belarus, Estonia, Faroe Islands, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway and Sweden all run leagues that will finish in the Autumn

 

 

We're all done now for the 2015-16 season as far as the August-May/June league winners go, Sheriff Tiraspol defeat Dacia in the playoff in Moldova to clinch the last remaining undecided title, their 14th in 16 seasons.
