Basically a Freakonomics for soccer fans. The authors break down some interesting statistics about which nations are best at soccer given their economic standing and sporting experience, and project which countries are on the rise to become the greats of the future. Worth reading for anyone interested in the behind-the-scenes business and some light history of the game.
