For the approximately 20 million people who have quote-tweeted this post saying the Austrian league must be terrible if you can win it with 44 points & not done a cursory Google or Wikipedia search: the points are divided in half in Austria at the end of the regular season ⬇️

🇦🇹 THE RED BULL ERA OF DOMINANCE IS OVER! Sturm Graz have won the Austrian Bundesliga for the first time since 2011 & become the first club other than Salzburg to win the double since 2006. Sturm's triumph ends Salzburg's unprecedented 10-year run of league titles since 2014!

Today I went to the Vienna Derby and thought two things: 1) This is one of the best football matches I have ever seen live. 2) Co-founding @OtherBundesliga was one of the best things I have done and has taken my life in such an amazing direction. A great privilege to be there 🇦🇹

For very obvious reasons, Rapid Vienna vs FC Vaduz was by some distance the most memorable match I’ve attended as a journalist. A great night for Vaduz, football in Liechtenstein & @SweeperPod 🤩

Hiking 40km to all seven football stadiums in Liechtenstein in a period just over 24 hours seemed like a good idea to begin with. How it started 🆚 how it ended ⬇️

In terms of the games in each round, Noah have been taking it two by two by two by two this summer…

🇦🇲 Noah, the only club to enter the Conference League in the 1st qualifying round & still be in the competition, have commandingly won the first leg of their play-off tie. They are aiming to become the 3rd Armenian club to reach a European group phase, after Alashkert & Pyunik.
