Will we get an MK Dons 2020 instead?

Belgium have cancelled their leagues and Club Brugge have been crowned champions.

Just looking into their league. What a bizarre and unfair format they have to find the Champions.

Every team plays each other twice. Then after 30 games they break into a series of playoffs and play each other twice. Top 6 contest the title, everyone's points totals are halved (meaning leads are halved too) and they start from there with 10 games.

Yeah I always found the Belgian league format odd, like a weird middle-ground from the US and Canada's love of playoffs and the more traditional method used to crown a champion in Europe and elsewhere.

I fail to see how it really makes it more exciting, you either have playoffs or you don't.

They mentioned the format during our Europa tie with Brugge. It's odd.

Wimbledon has been cancelled.

More like Wimbledont.

This is the coronavirus in sport thread; golf isn't a sport.

Considering golf courses are the only things still open in the US and sports are supposedly all cancelled I do see your point...

"Golf is a good walk spoiled" - Attributed to Mark Twain, but there's no proof he actually said it.

It’s been said multiple times on here by guys that don’t have an athletic bone in their body, though!

Let's check in with college football head coach and noted brain genius Dabo Swinney.

I've had plenty of athletic bones in my body.

This doesn't seem possible, at all. Even if things turn around very quickly. Which they aren't. The promoters must realise it's lip service?

Pep Guardiola has lost his mum to the disease.
