This book presents accounts of economic and psychological analyses of association football (or 'soccer' as it is popularly known in the USA). As football is widely accepted to be the world s most popular sport, the case for scientific investigation of its characteristics is selfevident. As the contributions to this book demonstrate, the game of football offers an ideal opportunity to empirically investigate a wide range of broad issues, for example: behavioural decisionmaking; judgmental forecasting; motivation; gametheoretic models of strategic choice; competition and labour markets. Are teams more likely to concede a goal after having just scored? Does the team going first in a penalty shootout have an advantage? Should goalkeepers dive or stay put for penalty kicks? Do referees make decisions consistently? Why do fans like their teams? What factors influence the career of footballers? How well can experts predict football matches? How accurate are prediction markets? How does the stockmarket react to match outcomes? These questions and others are addressed in this book. A particular focus is the investigation of popular conceptions and misconceptions about football.
