Following a reorganisation of top-level women's football in England, the 2017 season will only cover half of a traditional season's length, while the FA WSL shifts its calendar to match the traditional autumn-to-spring axis of football in Europe.[2] For the same reason, there is no Champions League qualification nor relegation for which to be competed.

      gollark: If you want the thing on the left, then that has cubes in it, see.
      gollark: Also, it would be *worse*, since you can't see the interior.
      gollark: The thing on the left is technically possible, I just don't really want to have to actually render cubes.
      gollark: Well, I was very lazy, so the 3D mode just takes the 2D grids, stacks them vertically and not horizontally, and rotates them around certain axes.
