Being a huge fan of soccer and stats, this was an enjoyable book for me. I liked that it gave me some new ways of watching the game. ( )

A look at the game of soccer using analytics. The sub title says it all "Why everything you know about soccer is wrong." Consider this Moneyball, for soccer. ( )

Starts well, then peters off. There may be some astonishing insights in the final quarter, but by then I'd got so bored... ( )

My boyfriend bought this book for him to read, but I decided that I would read it as well. I recently got into soccer (less than a year) and I am still learning so much about it. I dabble in sabermetrics in baseball so wanted to see what a numbers type of book would be like for soccer. Some of this book was very confusing for me because I'm still getting started with soccer, but I did learn a lot. I'm glad I read the book all the way through because I learned that not only was it a good sit down and read book, but it's one that I can go back to when I want to look up a certain stat or graph that I saw in the book. I am excited to pick up more soccer books and learn more about the game. ( )
