Anyone got Soccernomics by Simon Kuper?

Thinking of getting it, found it online for $11.58


Any good?

[boz-monaut]

buy it, read it and I'll buy it off you for what you paid for it

I would also be interested in said deal once you have finished Boz

Also, does anyone here have my copy of inverting the pyramid? I can't find the damn thing

[Blackmac79]

Soccernomics is fantastic. I am a fan of this book. Some of the chapters are very Americanised, in the way that they don't really matter to the actual playing of football or watching it. But there are some really interesting information, like business of football etc.


Will if I have time post a list of my football library later.
