À propos de cet audio

 Why do England lose? Why does Scotland suck? Why doesn't America dominate the sport internationally...and why do the Germans play with such an efficient but robotic style?

These are questions every soccer aficionado has asked. Soccernomics answers them.

Using insights and analogies from economics, statistics, psychology, and business to cast a new and entertaining light on how the game works, Soccernomics reveals the often surprisingly counterintuitive truths about soccer. An essential guide for the 2010 World Cup, Soccernomics is a new way of looking at the world's most popular game. Essais et commentaires Football (soccer) Histoire des sports International

Ce que les critiques en disent

“[Kuper and Szymanski] do for soccer what Moneyball did for baseball—put the game under an analytical microscope using statistics, economics, psychology, and intuition to try to transform a dogmatic sport.” —New York Times
“Since the publication of the first edition of Soccernomics there have been several attempts to copy its content. Yet few authors in the world of soccer writing can tell a human story like Simon Kuper, and even fewer academics can write an understandable narrative with numbers like Stefan Szymanski. Together the two men raise the bar again, bringing new insights to an already great body of work that is accessible and interesting to the quant and casual reader alike. . . . I highly recommend you pick it up for yourself, even if you have already read the first edition. You will not be disappointed.”—Forbes
“Fascinating.”—Vanity Fair
“With Soccernomics, the FT’s indispensable Simon Kuper and top‑flight sports economist Stefan Szymanski bring scrupulous economic analysis and statistical rigor to a sport long dependent on hoary—and, it seems, unfounded—assumptions. . . . Gripping and essential.”—Slate, Best Books of the Year
“[Szymanski and Kuper] entertainingly demolish soccer shibboleths. . . . Well argued and clear‑headed.”—Financial Times, Best Books of the Year
“Entertaining.”—Economist
“Soccernomics is the most intelligent book ever written about soccer.”—San Francisco Chronicle
“It's quite a book....Soccernomics explains how the lessons of Moneyball (sports teams are not completely rational) apply to the world's favorite sport.”—Huffington Post
“Using data analysis, history and psychology, [Soccernomics] punctures dozens of clichés about what it takes to win, and who makes money in soccer—and in sports in general.”—Associated Press
“[Kuper and Szymanski] have created a blend of Freakonomics and Fever Pitch, bringing surprising economic analysis to bear on the world's most popular sport...This mix of economic analysis and anecdote makes for a thought-provoking, often amusing read. Here, at last, is a British answer to Michael Lewis's baseball-meets-cash bestseller Moneyball.”—Bloomberg News
“[Soccernomics] is a sporting tale in the Freakonomics mode of inquiry, using statistics to come up with fascinating conclusions.”—Independent (UK), Best Books of the Year
“More thoughtful than most of its rivals and, by football standards, positively intellectual....Kuper, a brilliantly contrary columnist, and Szymanski, an economics professor...find plenty of fertile territory in their commendable determination to overturn the lazy preconceptions rife in football.”—Times (UK)
