Sobre IBD

For over a century, football (soccer) thrived on instinct, myth, and heart. Managers trusted their guts. Scouts trusted their eyes. Fans trusted the magic. But beneath the roar of the crowds and the glint of silverware, a quieter revolution was brewing - one driven by data, probabilities, and a new breed of thinkers who dared to question everything.In The Numbers Game: Why Everything You Know About Football (Soccer) Is Wrong, discover how a ragtag army of physicists, mathematicians, gamblers, and obsessive analysts reshaped the world’s most beloved sport. From the misunderstood pioneers of the 1950s to the Moneyball boom, from Liverpool’s data-fueled dynasty to the rise of AI-driven scouting and tactics, this book dives deep into the beautiful, chaotic collision between tradition and technology.Told in a fun, flowing narrative style that any fan can enjoy - with real stories, players, games, and unforgettable moments - this is not just the story of football’s past. It’s a thrilling look at its future.Because understanding the numbers doesn’t kill the magic. It makes it even more miraculous.
