Ha, full title per Amazon is "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."
Good read?

Very good. It's interesting to see arguments backed up with statistics being applied to a sport that generally doesn't use them, at least publicly. The chapters on the what it takes to have a great national team I found interesting also.

Very interesting book; read it a few months ago. I really like Krakauer.
Currently reading K2: Life and Death on the World's Most Dangerous Mountain. I certainly don't climb mountains, but it's interesting to read about.

Did you read that outliers book? The introduction explains why the structure of youth hockey creates a bias against kids born later in the year. It talks about youth hockey and the coaching/training some kids receive and how being born early in the year puts you against younger kids and you look better, hence get the special attention....pretty cool and substantial.
