On Forbes: The Writer & The Economist - An Interview with Soccernomics' Authors (Part 3)

The third and final installment of my interview with Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski is now up at Forbes.  This part of the interview is a bit different than the prior two as it was done with each author individually due to timing constraints on both men.  I ask the same set of questions about the Champions League Final, European Championships, and the Robin Van Persie situation at Arsenal to both men and get very different answers.

Overall, the interview was extremely enlightening as to how the two men work together and where their interests lie within the sport.  I have no doubt that there are several more editions of Soccernomics to be written before the book has run its course based upon the previews of future work that both men gave in the interview.  If that's the case the book may grow to 600+ pages of soccer statistics insight, and be considered one of the seminal texts in the field of sports statistics.  It would be an accolade well deserved for a writer of Simon's caliber and an economist of Stefan's stature.
