Stefan Szymanski
INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
Named one of the “Best Books of the Year? by Guardian, Slate, Financial Times, Independent (UK), and Bloomberg News
Soccernomics pioneers a new way of looking at soccer through meticulous, empirical analysis and incisive, witty commentary. The San Francisco Chronicle describes it as “the most intelligent book ever written about soccer.? This World Cup edition features new material, including a provocative examination of how soccer clubs might actually start making profits, why that?s undesirable, and how soccer?s never had it so good.
