Simon KuperSoccernomic: Ânew Editionã

- well structured- interesting trivia and data analysis- predictions / forecasts could have been more data or event driven. But a must read for all football fans

Gives an interesting perspective about the game and you might actually observe yourself recalling the author's content while watching the game.

The book is well written and well researched. But many chapters come across as an attempt to shoehorn patterns where none existed. You can't explain everything using economics.Would recommend the chapters on transfer spending and team performance.

I read the original book the year after publication. Now, there is more data and errors are revealing even more about the great game. If you want to talk about football (soccer for Americans). You must read this or you will be wrong about almost everything!

La visión de distintos temas a través de estudios y de visiones diferentes es realmente increíble. Un gran trabajo.

Second edition. Fascinating discussion of the economic and data issues driving English football.

Interesting look at the world of football. It seems like a very arcane world. Ths books brings up some unexpected statistics to prove a few things that you wouldn't really expect. One that stands out in my mind is that football is not big business compared to other areas of economic activity.This flies in the face of everything we get told in the papers. Truly, football is a business, but it exists in a world apart. Thoroughly good read.

Un bel libro, che regala una lettura diversa del mondo del calcio. Alcuni capitoli sono molto interessanti, altri un po' stiracchiati. Nel complesso lo consiglio agli appassionati di calcio e statistiche.
