Eurosport
Online Soccer Store Reviewed

Brothers Michael and Brendan Moylan, two high school soccer players, with their family help founded Eurosport in 1984. The company started as a catalog order soccer business. By now it is probably the most known site of all online soccer stores.

Eurosport The site offers huge inventory of soccer gear. I am not going to list what they sell, because they have everything what's related to soccer. If you can't find it anywhere else, you'll probably find it here.

Well, maybe this is an overstatement.

Eurosport don't hang on to older models for too long, especially cleats, shin guards and balls. So if you are searching for a version that came out three-four years ago, Eurosport might not have it.

The site is very easy to navigate. You can shop by brand, gender, style, model etc.

SPECIAL FEATURES

Eurosport Gift Card GIFT CARD - You must be a registered member to order a Eurosport Gift Card. Once you have signed in, simply type "giftcard" (one word) into the Quick Search box. When the gift card appears, click on it and follow the instructions.

There are two types of gift cards you might purchase:
  • Regular Gift Card - mailed directly from Eurosport. Regular shipping is free for this card and will take 3-10 business days.
  • Virtual Gift Card - emailed to the recipient. You will need to fill in the box for the "Recipient's Email Address" in this case. This email will be sent shortly after the order has processed.

    Eurosport Wish List WISH LIST - This is a very similar feature to World Soccer Shop's wish list. Every item has an "Add to my wish list" option and could be saved in your wish list. However, you need to create your account first. It's FREE. Fortunately they don't ask for much, just your full name and Email. It takes seconds.
    Then you can print it, email it to someone, or even make a purchase from your Wish List.

    CUSTOMIZATIONS - including front and back numbers, names, and authentic league badges for… additional charge, of course. Unfortunately not all replicas and jerseys could be personalized. As at World Soccer Shop, you'll see which item could be customized only on a product page.

    The interesting thing is that usually you have two different options to customize your replica jersey:
  • Hero Jersey when they used officially licensed letters and numbers that the team uses. Cost: $25.
  • Dress Like the Pros when they match the style of the letters and numbers as close as possible to the real team jerseys using heat pressed vinyl materials. Cost: $10.
  • Eurosport Hero Jersey Customization Eurosport Dress Like the Pros Jersey Customization
    In both cases you can enter any name and number or choose a player from the team's roster.

    As opposed to WSS, Eurosport offers personalization of the footwear (not on all shoes, but that's better than nothing). You can order the name and the number that it's placed on the tongue of the shoe.

    Besides the extra cost, the customization has one more downside: it takes up to 10 business days before your product is ready to be mailed to you.
    Also please be aware that you can't return or exchange customized items, so make your selection with extra care.

    Eurosport Sale Page GREAT SAVES PAGE - This is usually the page that I visit first. Regardless, if I am looking for something particular or just want to see the latest bargains. Believe or not but you can find good deals there…sometimes.
    Of course there is always a reason why these products are on sale. Most of the time it is because of the low quantity of the product or limited size or color choice. But you never know, it could be just your size that it's on sale. It's worth to check it out.
    All items on sale are grouped by categories (footware, balls, shin guards, womens, youth etc.), so it's very easy to search.

    Eurosport Goal Club GOAL CLUB - This featuer allows you to purchase their product for reduced prices. Every item at Eurosport have special price (highlighted in red) for members of Goal Club.
    It's very similar to today's trend of groccery stores' VIP-Shopper's Pass, when almost every item is priced double: one for members and the other for non-members.

    The only difference is that groccery stores don't charge you anything for the membership. In order to become a Goal Club's member you have to pay one-time fee of $24.95.

    It is a good option for those who plan to make more purchases from them in the future or buying large quantities at once. Althoght Eurosport claims that if you don't save more than $24.95 within two years, they will refund your membership's fee…make sure your calculations are right.

    POWER SEARCH -A nice tool located next to regural search box at the top of every page. It is a time saver if you need to check for availibility of something particular.

    For example:
    You are looking for Adidas cleats for firm ground, in size 7.5 for under $75.

    All you need to do is:

  • type fg in the Keyword Searcg box
  • choose footwear in the Section Search
  • mark Adidas in the Brand Search
  • check size 7.5 in the Size Search
  • set up the price range up to $75
  • click Find Items at the bottom and...
    ...you have a list of all size 7.5 Adidas cleats for FG for under $75. It would take you about 10 seconds.

    You can alter your search to your own likings and needs…look for specific model only or even for items in specific colors. It's all up to you.
