On Forbes: The Writer & The Economist - An Interview with Soccernomics' Authors (Part 1)

Several weeks ago I had the privilege of sitting down for an interview with Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski, the authors of the revised and updated Soccernomics.  In totality the interview lasted nearly fifty minutes, which led me to break it up into thirds to improve its readability.

Part one of my interview can be found on my Forbes blog.  It deals with how Kuper and Szymanski come from very different writing styles yet Soccernomics turns out to be such a good book, their thoughts on Damien Comolli's time at Liverpool, and how they view UEFA's financial fair play rules.  Part two of the interview will be posted Tuesday, while the third-and-final part of the interview will go up on Forbes on Wednesday.
