This is a totally fascinating book which demystifies the "beautiful game". This year's World Cup - with 4 teams from the heart of EUrope in the quarter finals and Brazil v. Germany in tonight's semi-final - strongly reinforces the authors' theses. Read this in conjunction with Jim Bullivant's "Football is Fixed" website and the scales will fall from your eyes. On the other hand, it might be more fun just to enjoy the illusion instead.
As informative a book as I've ever read. I read this book as a stereotypical American newbie to the world of soccer, ignorant but interested. Since then, Soccernomics has been the foundation of a love affair with the game. Soccer's economics are so much different than the major professional sports in the United States, and Soccernomics makes you an expert, capable of critical thinking, in the business of the beautiful game.
Maravilloso.
Amazing
