I've been playing that manager mode hoping that would force me to learn things but then I have to understand player positions, formation styles, etc. It's rather confusing!
It helps to have people around you who love the sport and can get you into the beautiful game. You could always look for a book on rules or search for youtube videos. I found the best thing to do is listen to podcasts/radio specific to the sport. Also subscribe to Setanta or Sportsnet Rugby (whatever that station is called these days)

Also buy Football Manager 2012 for your PC, it will overwhelm you but man I love that game!
