«Soccernomics» is the essay by Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski on the business and strategy of soccer, published by HarperCollins in paperback (576 pages, in English).
Applying tools from economics, statistics, and psychology to the world's most popular sport, the book analyzes why some national teams perform better than others and why many clubs make wrong transfer decisions. It also examines the role of coaches, club spending, and the effects of hosting a World Cup, revealing counterintuitive truths about soccer.
This revised and expanded edition was published on May 31, 2018, updated before that year's World Cup. The original subtitle of the work is «Why England Lose, Why Germany, Spain and France Win, and Why One Day the Rest of the World Will Finally Catch Up».
Aimed at soccer fans who want to understand the game from a different perspective and also at readers interested in economics applied to sport.
Simon Kuper is a British, and naturalized French, author and journalist, best known for his work at the Financial Times and as a football writer.
