Does it take two guys to write a boring book about soccer. In a "book called "Soccernomics" authors Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski try to one up each other with their lame data about a sport that usually ends up with a score od 2-0 for 1-2. These guys try to cover al aspects of controversy in the world's most popular sport with data and facts from racism in the sport to the economics of the penalty kick. These guys try to give their economic analysis to why England has only won one world cup despite having invested the sport and exported it around the world for most countries to enjoy s their top spectator sport.
I am no fan of Stefan's assertion that the problem with English soccer is that there are too many English football players and not enough foreigners playing this kicking game and on English rosters. This is merry old dumb and foreigners need to be working at their game and not in ours because we have more debt and bank printed monopoly money to spread around for superior players of this elite game. The authors describe how urbanization and factory towns gave people in Britian an identity from what was otherwise a holdrom existence in a remote yet growing part of the words biggest empire here the sun never sets. both of these authors are dull as shit yet is Stefan Symanski I re
really cant stand. I am no fan of Stefan as he oftenf ills this book with anti-Englishmen remarks and if he said half of the shit to the average English fan in a pub his geek ass would be swept out at the end of the night into an alley after last call. This moron tries to take some racial angle through ought this book saying the European leagues prefer blondes and paying them more than dudes who look like Pele as if although all of them played like Pele as well. It could be European leagues want players that well are European so fans can have a better identity and reminder of who they are and these fucks can take their global version of the sport and start a league in Dubai.
