They've instituted Fair Play rules which are a sort of salary

Cap. European club soccer is more like baseball than football in that the rich teams have a very clear competitive advantage.

I wouldn't say 'ruining the game' but it is frustrating for fans of the mid-tier teams having to compete with Real, ManU, Barca, Bayern, PSG, etc.

Soccer article yesterday said the domination of clubs is ruining the game? -- WestyHokie 04/20/2018 10:25AM

Bayern has won their league 6 years in a row. Where’s the fun in that? ** -- RoswellGAHokie 04/20/2018 11:17AM

I tend to agree with you, but it's not as if Dortmund and Schalke don't -- CPRVHokie 04/20/2018 11:38AM

Hasn’t that always been the case in soccer? -- MExpos27 04/20/2018 10:44AM

Is that true for the Italian league, and Spain? Others? ** -- WestyHokie 04/20/2018 12:43PM

Spain is arguably worse and Italy is similar -- MExpos27 04/20/2018 3:48PM

Yep. Check this out... -- Chris Coleman

Pretty valid point -- Hokie Fiji 04/20/2018 11:15AM

English soccer has existed for much longer than 26 years. ** -- CPRVHokie 04/20/2018 10:57AM

Sure but does that change the point? -- MExpos27 04/20/2018 12:28PM

They kinda invented the game didnt' they? -- `lag 04/20/2018 11:15AM

Ruining the game? Soccer has never been more popular... -- BB Hokie 04/20/2018 10:35AM

I think it comes down to this. At the absolute highest level -- ElbertoHokie 04/20/2018 10:37AM

How about we set term limits for top players -- HokieAl 04/20/2018 10:56AM

As a fan of a top team. I obviously don't like that idea. -- ElbertoHokie 04/20/2018 11:22AM

Yankees, Red Sox, Cowboys, Lakers -- and recently, GS Warriors -- HWA 04/20/2018 10:52AM
