The World Cup is over and the Euro qualifying thread is already started. Might as well open the club thread since training has begun.

Use this thread to discuss all things (rumors, transfers, results, injuries, suspensions, etc.) related to the Beautiful Game at the club level.

The Premier League kicks off on August 16th. Serie A starts on August 31st. CL Playoff round begins on August 19th.

The Austrian and Swiss leagues already start on Saturday.

For Austria:

2 teams from Salzburg (Red Bull Sbg. and Grödig)
2 teams from Vienna (Rapid and Austria)
2 teams from Lower Austria (Admira and Wr. Neustadt)
1 team each from Vorarlberg (Altach), Upper Austria (Ried), Styria (Sturm Graz) and Carinthia (Wolfsberg)

Altach was promoted to the Bundesliga this season by winning the Erste League last season.

Wacker Innsbruck (Tyrol) was relegated, because they were last in the 2013-14 Bundesliga season (sorry Cranberry).

Which means there are no teams from the states of Tyrol and Burgenland in the BL this season.

...

Also, Rapid Vienna will play the next 2 seasons at the Ernst-Happel-Stadium because a new stadium will be built for them, the so called Allianz-Stadion, which will seat 28.000 people in BL matches and 24.000 in international games. The stadium will be ready by the 2016 season, while the old stadium will be demolished.

The new stadium:

Other than that, the usual suspects for the win in the 2014-15 season are Red Bull Salzburg (2013-14 winner), and the 2 Vienna teams.

Huge news out of Italy: Antonio Conte resigns as Juve manager. Scudetto race is between Napoli and Roma. Smiley

Probably going to take over as the Italian national coach now though. Sad

Probably means that Juve is selling Vidal and/or some of their other big stars. Wouldn't mind him at Arsenal... he could hang out with his BFF Alexis Sanchez.

Massimiliano Allegri is the new coach of Juventus. Bwahahahaha.

And yes, they're probably selling Vidal. This is horrible news for Pirlo, too. Allegri is the reason he left Milan, saying he was past his prime...

The first game of the new season is over and Salzburg defeats Rapid Vienna with 6-1.

Fabio Borini refuses his transfer to Sunderland from Liverpool! Hope he can return to Italy.

Blackpool FC in the English Championship League, starting five trialists in a preseason game because the team only has eight actual players

La Liga's schedule was released today. El Clasico is October 26th. Suarez's ban just happens to end on October 25th.

But Goal.com is reporting that the CAS will reduce Suarez's ban, meaning he might be eligible as soon as the season opener.

Absolute. Joke.

First match of 2014 ICC. Milan getting thumped 3-0 to Olympiacos.

I'll be going to City vs. Liverpool next week at Yankee Stadium. Smiley

In the 2nd league game this season, Red Bull Salzburg is leading 5-0, with just 10 men, after 80 minutes.

Champions League group stage should be likely with the way they are playing ...

We've signed Griezmann and are probably about to nab Lukaku. Winning a second straight Liga is a stretch but I don't think it's a pipe dream at all. Thankfully it appears that rumor of Torres coming back is just that.

I imagine they'll be pushing Yankees-Red Sox pretty hard here.

Rome Derby and Napoli vs. Juventus in Round 18 meaning those will also be the second-to-last season matches. Amazing.

The TV broadcast from Azerbaijan is the worst I have ever seen in my life.

I think there would be a better broadcast from the South Pole or the Moon ...

Either the satellite is not working right, or the people at the Azeri TV are total douches.

Finally, after 58 minutes they corrected the signal.

According to the ORF mod, not the people from the Azeri TV were the problem - but the satellite was sucking.

77th minute and the equalizer (and away goal) for Salzburg.

Nice.
