Soccernomics

Soccernomics appears in How to win a penalty shootout (with game theory) as related work for listeners who want more football economics. The episode points to it after using Stefan Szymanski and Simon Kuper to explain why penalty kicks can be studied through evidence, incentives, and strategic behavior.

Within this wiki branch, the book is a bridge between football storytelling and economic method. It sits beside Beautiful Game Theory as a source-adjacent work that makes football useful for explaining Game Theory, analytics, and decision-making under pressure.
