"Many explanations [of England's poor form] can be found in the book Soccernomics in a segment entitled 'Why England Loses.' (This is well worth a read for any English football fan; essentially, you overvalue your football heritage and undervalue the benefits of innovation.)"
--Stephen J. Dubner, coauthor of Freakonomics, on the Freakonomics blog

"Fascinating."
--VanityFair.com

"The authors take what 'everybody' knows about success and failure in soccer and subject it to rigorous empirical analysis embedded in good stories that carry the narrative along. . . . Highly recommended."
--Choice

"Soccernomics [is] a sharply written and provocative examination of the world's game seen through the prism of economics and statistical data. It demolishes almost everything that most soccer fans believe about the game and how professional soccer teams should operate."
--Globe and Mail (Canada)

"Oh, Rooney's the best. [My son] Ben thinks that England might be in the top four, but that's it. He knows the starting line up of every European team. We're reading this very interesting book about football together, you know Soccernomics."
--Lorrie Moore, author of A Gate at the Stairs and Birds of America

"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."
--Zach Slaton, Forbes (online)

"Quite an entertaining read."
--Simply Futbol

"Wonderful book."
--Pro Soccer Talk (NBC Sports blog)

"Soccernomics . . . remains essential reading for anyone seeking an analytical take on the game."--Keeping Score (TIME Soccer Blog)

"Soccernomics is the most intelligent book ever written about soccer."
--San Francisco Chronicle
