Soccernomics: Why England Loses, Why Spain, Germany, and Brazil Win, and Why the U.S., Japan, Australia--and Even Iraq--Are Destined to Become the Kings of the World's Most Popular Sport by Simon Kuper, Stefan Szymanski

5.0

This book is a deep dive analysis into all things soccer. It verges on academic, with statistics and studies galore, but it succeeds in drawing out fascinating conclusions the same way Freakonomics generally does. If analyzing the why of soccer interests you then this book is a must have.
