Soccernomics : why England loses ; why Germany, Spain, and France win ; and why one day Japan, Iraq, and the United States will become kings of the world's most popular sport
Simon Kuper (Author), Stefan Szymanski (Author)
"Written with an economist's brain and a soccer writer's skill, Soccernomics applies high-powered analytical tools to everyday soccer topics, looking at data and revealing counterintuitive truths about the world's most beloved game. It all adds up to a revolutionary new approach that has helped change the way the game is played. This World Cup edition features ample new material, including fresh insights into FIFA's corruption, the surge in domestic violence during World Cups, and Western Europe's unprecedented dominance of global soccer."--Back cover
