North American sports fans may find it quite different, and perhaps more difficult, to successfully build a dynasty in soccer games. If you think the MLB doesn’t do enough to ensure parity in the league, wait until you read about what goes on (or doesn’t) in soccer leagues around the world.

Note that most of these off pitch rules don’t apply to MLS, as the league contains some distinctly North American characteristics to the team building side of the sport. And as always, there are bound to be some discrepancies league by league, but by and large, the following are applicable to most of the world’s biggest leagues.

I've always wondered how willing American teams would be to rebuild if relegation was a possibility

Thanks for writing these articles. I love to play FIFA as soccer a very fun sport to take part in but it's just not a sport made for TV in my eyes. (I know, typical American) These articles have really helped me to understand some of the finer points of the game and how to use them.

Not a sport made for TV? There is on commercial break: half time. If that's not made for TV I don't know what is. Not judging, just saying.

Has nothing to do with the commercial breaks or lack there of. It just doesn't hold my attention whatsoever on TV because it looks like they're just kicking the ball back and forth to each other. Very hard to pick up on any sense of strategy if you're not very knowledgable about the sport.
