Dutch Football

Ajax finally did it! They won their 30th league title under new-comer Frank de Boer, ensuring the Amsterdam-side to have a 3rd star on their chest and a secured spot in the Champions League. Over the summer, money has spend to overthrow the new champions though. PSV have brought in Mertens, Strootman and Matavz and Twente have acquired the services of Co Adriaanse and Fer. AZ and Feyenoord have built on their sides, matching them up with Groningen and Heerenveen. At the bottom of the table, things remain close as ever as RKC have strengthened themselves whilst Excelsior made do without Pastoor and Fernandez. On top of that, Van Marwijk's boys are dominating the world internationally. The future is bright, the future is Oranje!

With Germany overtaking Italy in the European coefficients providing a fourth Champions League spot for the Bundesliga, a new batch of teams will be fighting for the extra European spot. Can Dortmund keep up the level of play without Nuri Sahin and win the title again or will the distraction of the Champions League prove too much?

Sporting have started a new project, with a new President, coach and 15 signings, and want to become title contenters again.
