In \u003ci\u003eThe Numbers Game\u003c\/i\u003e, Chris Anderson, a former professional goalkeeper turned soccer statistics guru, teams up with behavioral analyst David Sally to uncover the numbers that really matter when it comes to predicting a winner.

How should a player's value be judged?--they deliver an incisive, revolutionary new way of watching and understanding soccer.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChris Anderson\u003c\/b\u003e is a pioneer of soccer analytics and a professor at London School of Economics in the U.K. and Cornell University in the U.S. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Sally\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 7.9 x 5.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 30, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48901049319673,"sku":"9780143124566","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/eT7ECsK8CO9780143124566.webp?v=1787749323","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-numbers-game-why-everything-you-know-about-soccer-is-wrong-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
