For Soccer Fans Only

As a long-time soccer fan, I especially enjoyed reading Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski's book Soccernomics, an economic analysis of the world's most popular game. They really go into detail and  analyze everything from coaches to players to World Cups to most anything else that has to do with soccer. If you're a true soccer fan, you need to get this book.

You will learn a few secrets of the transfer market:
  • A new manager wastes money on transfers; don't let him.
  • Stars of recent World Cups or European championships are overvalued; ignore them.
  • Certain nationalities are overvalued.
  • Sell any player when another club offers more than he is worth.
  • Replace your best players even before you sell them.
  • Gentlemen prefer blonds (this is a good one ;-))
  • including six more secrets that you'll find in the book...
