Review "Many explanations [of Englands poor form] can be found in the book Soccernomics in a segment entitled "Why England Loses." (This is well worth a read for any English football fan; essentially, you overvalue your football heritage and undervalue the benefits of innovation.)"--Stephen J. Dubner, co-author Freakonomics on the Freakonomics blog "Fascinating."--VanityFair.com "The authors take what everybody knows about success and failure in soccer and subject it to rigorous empirical analysis embedded in good stories that carry the narrative along...Highly recommended. All readers."--Choice "Soccernomics [is] a sharply written and provocative examination of the worlds game seen through the prism of economics and statistical data. It demolishes almost everything that most soccer fans believe about the game and how professional soccer teams should operate."--Globe & Mail (Canada) Oh, Rooneys the best. [My son] Ben thinks that England might be in the top four, but thats it. He knows the starting line up of every European team. Were reading this very interesting book about football together, you know Soccernomics.--Lorrie Moore, author of A Gate at the Stairs and Birds of America "Since the publication of the first edition of Soccernomics there have been several attempts to copy its content. Yet few authors in the world of soccer writing can tell a human story like Simon Kuper, and even fewer academics can write an understandable narrative with numbers like Stefan Szymanski. Together the two men raise the bar again, bringing new insights to an already great body of work that is accessible and interesting to the quant and casual reader alike... I highly recommend you pick it up for yourself, even if you have already read the first edition. You will not be disappointed."--Zach Slaton, Forbes (online) "[Q]uite an entertaining read."--Simply Futbol "[W]onderful book."--Pro Soccer Talk (NBC Sports blog) "Soccernomics... remains essential reading for anyone seeking an analytical take on the game."--Keeping Score (TIME Soccer Blog) "Soccernomics is the most intelligent book ever written about soccer."--San Francisco Chronicle"With Soccernomics, the FTs indispensable Simon Kuper and top-flight sports economist Stefan Szymanski bring scrupulous economic analysis and statistical rigor to a sport long dependent on hoary - and, it seems, unfounded - assumptions...Gripping and essential."--Slate.com, Best Books of 2009 "[The book] is a sporting tale in the Freakonomics mode of inquiry, using statistics to come up with fascinating conclusions."--Independent (UK), Best Books of 2009 "[Szymanski and Kuper] entertainingly demolish soccer shibboleths...Well argued and clear headed."--Financial Times, Best Books of 2009 "Using data analysis, history and psychology, [Soccernomics] punctures dozens of clichés about what it takes to win, and who makes money in soccer - and in sports in general."--Associated Press "[Kuper and Szymanksi] do for soccer what Moneyball did for baseball--put the game under an analytical microscope using statistics, economics, psychology and intuition to try to transform a dogmatic sport."--New York Times "[A] must read for any fan of the business of soccer..."--Footiebusiness.com Feature * Footballs answer to Freakonomics and The Undercover Economist. Soccernomics applies the compelling techniques and tone of such hugely popular books to all manner of everyday football topics * Fully updated to include the analysis of match and club data, the rise of Spain and in-depth look at club finances. * Publication to coincide with the run-up to the 2022 World Cup to be held in Qatar. * Simon Kupers Football Against the Enemy won the William Hill Sports Book of the Year prize in 1994 and is still selling 14 years later.
