n this incisive, myth-busting book, Chris Anderson, former goalkeeper turned foo
tball statistics guru, and David Sally, former baseball pitcher turned behaviour
al economist, show that every shred of knowledge we can gather can help us to lo
ve football and understand it even more. You'll discover why stopping a goal is
more valuable than scoring one, why corners should be taken short, and why it is
better to improve your worst player than to buy a superstar.
