Football - the most mathematical of sports. From hot statistics and league tables to the geometry of passing and managerial style, the modern games is filled with numbers, patterns and shapes. How do we make sense of them? The answer lies in the mathematical models applied in biology, physics and economics.

Soccermathics brings football and mathematics together in a mind-binding synthesis, using numbers to help reveal the inner workings of the beautiful game.
