Danish Superliga

Day -177 WorldCup2018

I occasionally check the results from the Danish Superliga. It's a not very long story, and not very exciting.

There are no results today. The last matches were played last week and it resumes in February after the winter break. The league started a new format last year and as I was trying to educate myself I realized that it made Toronto FC's path Tom winning the MLS extremely straightforward.

The Superliga started last July. In April it will break down into a Championship round and a relegation round. After a series of matches and play-offs and special rules for a team that might be in the Danish Cup Final, one team is the Champion, another goes into the Europa League, another goes into a European play-off and a couple (three?) are relegated. I need to go back to the books to figure out what other team qualifies for the European play-off, which results, I believe, in another Europa League spot.

All of this ends in May 2018. July-May. That's one long season. When MLS find a way to shorten their season so that it doesn't end in the frigid cold of Toronto in December then the Danes should come over for advice.
