I have a couple of questions for you guys if you dont mind answering as all these different cups are confusing to me.

I understand that most of the top soccer countries have a league structure like the English Premier League, Coca Cola 1, Coca Cola 2, etc. My question is what are these midseason cups and are they more important than winning the league championship? Also would a team like Manchester U rather win the Premier League Championship or the Euro Cup? Also why was Man U vs Real Madrid on a couple weeks ago during their countries league seasons?

I find soccer interesting and enjoyed reading the threads and how much knowledge you guys have on this subject but it all seems so confusing to me.

So many of you guys are so good at predicting outcomes which is great however I get confused when I am watching a 1-0 game and the announcer will be talking about how X team is dominating the game when that 1 goal was scored on some fluky play. How is being ahead 1-0 dominating a game when the 1 goal that has been scored was on a penalty kick in which the ref made a terrible decision on.

I play this World Wide Soccer Manager game which I have a lot of fun with however I have no idea what my assistant coach is trying to tell me to do a lot of times.

"You should try and cut off the supply to X person or we will get hurt"
"You have a too wide gap between your midfielders and attackers"
"This person is not used to playing this style you should play a more direct style"

For what seems like is a simple game it sure is confusing
