Review of "Net Gains" by Ryan O'Hanlon
5 stars
A story-driven history of the analytics movement in soccer/football. O'Hanlon brings personal knowledge of the game and experience writing about the sport to the book, and the result is an engaging overview of soccer and its complicated relationship with math. Not too technical, but technical enough to know exactly where to look if you want to learn more about how analysts are trying to quantify a seemingly unquantifiable game.
