Description
Using economics, statistics, and sharp cultural analysis, this groundbreaking examination of soccer challenges the myths and conventional wisdom that shape how the sport is played, managed, and understood. The authors investigate what truly drives success and failure—from team performance and player value to hiring decisions, home-field advantage, and the business of the beautiful game. Combining the analytical spirit of *Freakonomics* with the data-driven insight of *Moneyball*, the book offers surprising revelations for fans, coaches, executives, and anyone curious about the forces behind the results on the pitch.
