Summary:
"Soccernomics is written with an economist's brain and a soccer writer's skill, and it applies high-powered analytical tools to everyday soccer topics, looking at data and revealing counterintuitive truths about the world's most loved game. It all adds up to a revolutionary new way of looking at soccer that could change the way the game is played"--
