Think It Like Beckham
A TTLA reader points out that, yeah, we noted Baseball's Think Tanks and Basketball's Think Tanks in two recent posts, but asks, "What about soccer?"
That was a rhetorical question, as it turns out, since the same reader notes the publication of Soccernomics, said to be a cross (not the kind you head in, far post low) between Freakonomics and Moneyball.
The New York Times' Goal blog had this reportlast week.
By the way, the New Republic's Franklin Foer wrote this book a couple years back about the beautiful, global game -- if memory serves, Barca comes out a winner.
And, if only we'd known, we could have joined in. Pick-up soccer and a Roman think tank.
P.S. -- Mia Hamm on a Milken panel.
