Soccernomics: Why England Loses, Why Germany and Brazil Win, and Why the U.S., Japan, Australia, Turkey--and Even Iraq--Are Destined to Become the Kings of the World's Most Popular Sport

by: Simon Kuper, Stefan Szymanski
Well written book. I can't say anything that the other 5 star reviews don't put more eloquently. I will say that they explain how they go about making their conclusions in a much more transparent and easier to understand way than Freakonomics. Nice purchase for an econ undergrad or any fan of soccer.

Outcasts United: An American Town, a Refugee Team, and One Woman's Quest to Make a Difference

by: Warren St. John
What a beautifully written book. Outcasts United was an exciting, heart warming, sometimes heart-wrenching story. Warren St. John manages to capture your heart and make you believe that you too can make a difference like Luma Mufleh did for the Fugees soccer team in Clarkston, Georgia. The refugees and local townspeople alike did not have any idea what their future would hold when refugees began arriving in Clarkston. This true story reminds us that as a country we would like to think we are open to change and ready for the further diversification of our country, but the book shows us that we might not be as ready as we thought.

Inverting the Pyramid: The History of Football Tactics

by: Jonathan Wilson
This is definitely a book for the committed fan but if you are a committed fan, you'll definitely enjoy this book. The quality of writing is very good, well above the level of the great majority of sports journalism, and Wilson appears to be a very thorough researcher. The bibliography is impressive and Wilson deserves credit for grinding through and analyzing a large volume of material, some recondite in the extreme (club histories) and a great deal that must have been rather boring to read (memoirs by famous managers).
