One of the interesting quirks of soccer — compared to other U.S. major pro sports — is that teams play massively significant tournaments in the midst of their regular seasons.
Clubs must commit significant resources to those tournaments because of the prestige involved in advancing deep into the competitions, but obviously can’t ignore their league regular seasons either.
