A review by mrbrownsays
Soccernomics by Simon Kuper, Stefan Szymanski

4.0

This book was very interesting. Includes football stats, a moneyball analysis of football and a common sense approach to the data. A couple of errors in the structure of some of the book tests but nothing that would change the narrative of the story. Some of the mapping of the moneyball analysis is a bit too direct.

This book is however a must read for any non-academic England fan, statistics nerd or sport economics. Brilliantly debunks some of Hansen's laziest excesses.
