There is little doubt that soccer is the top sport in the world. Soccer is the most supported and the most watched sport, it seems to have universal appeal that even seems to be making it’s way across to the US. Sports in the US is still mostly dominated by  baseball, basketball and American football, however over recent years soccer has gained an increasing level of support. The game has grown in stature in the US helped by top players like David Beckham now playing in the MLS.

Soccer jerseys and kits are now the biggest selling sportswear items in the world. Soccer is now regularly played in schools all over the world which has certainly helped increase the number of soccer shirts that are sold worldwide and with the major sporting events like the African Nations Cup, the World Cup and the European Championships getting broadcast all over the world, the exposure of a lot of different soccer shirts has increased.

Soccer jerseys are an essential piece of kit for any football fan, especially if you play. Most fans will buy the soccer strip of their favourite team and maybe even get it personalised with their favourite player. At the moment the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, David Beckham and Lionel Messi are amongst the most popular players in the world meaning their shirts are some of the most popular. Many soccer fans also buy shirts of other teams or national team either because they like the design or because they like a player that plays for the side. Although ever soccer fan will have their favourite team most are willing to wear other teams shirt and sometimes have a big variety of soccer jerseys from the top teams in the world.

Depending on where you live it can be difficult to get a good variety of soccer jerseys to buy, which is where online shopping comes into play. Shopping online for your soccer kits allows you not only to get a better selection and choice but also to look at getting a better price. Many of the rarer shirts will often command high prices from some retailers but shopping about could see you pay less. If you are in the US looking for a soccer jersey it can be quite expensive to buy from an American site with the shirt being harder for them to get but shopping with a UK soccer shop could mean the shipping is a little more expensive but that the product itself is much cheaper. The selection of soccer jerseys is also often greater with European retailers.

Soccer looks like being the top sport for many years to come and in many ways only looks like getting bigger. Transfer fees records are being broken continuously at the moment and players wages are getting higher and higher which can only be because of the increase in interest surrounding the sport. There doesn’t seem to be any other sport in the world that can grab the attention of so many and seem to be universally accepted so soccer jerseys look like continuing to be the top sportswear item for a while longer.

For any soccer fan, a visit to the new Wembley Stadium is a must. Not only is it one of the world’s most outstanding modern stadiums, but is host to the best of English football and features a veritable ‘footie-fest’ of the nation’s leading cup finals and Football League play-offs every season. The Football Association – the sport’s governing body – is planning a £12million move of its administrative headquarters from Soho Square to the new Stadium during July 2009. As Wembley is also the home venue for all of England’s international fixtures – including the qualifying games for the 2010 World Cup Finals – the move will firmly establish the stadium as the ‘home of English football’. As the English football season progresses towards its climax in May, Wembley hosts a number of prestigious finals including the traditional finale to the football season – the FA Cup Final. But, before that the cup final season begins in either late February or early March with the staging of the Carling Cup Final. This show piece cup competition of the Football League will celebrate its 50th anniversary at Wembley in 2010. Next up is the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy Final played at Wembley in early April. This competition is exclusively for clubs that compete in League One and League Two of the Football League. The 2009 final was an absolute thriller with Luton beating Scunthorpe 3-2 after extra time in front of a substantial lower league football crowd of 53,378. In May the games come thick and fast at the Stadium, starting with the FA Trophy Final and FA Vase Final, played on successive days on the second weekend of the month. Next, and still in May, the Football League hosts the Play-off finals when the last promotion spots for The Championship, League One and League Two are decided. Indeed, The Football League Championship play-off final – normally played on late May Bank Holiday Monday – is billed as football’s most lucrative ‘one-off’ game. The winners will be promoted to the Barclays Premier League and with that comes access to lucrative TV money. Finally, the last weekend in May sees the traditional season finale; the FA Cup final. This is one of the few ‘protected’ games to be televised live on terrestrial channels and is the daddy of all football competition finals. As you can see, May is also the month when the owners of London hotels – particularly those situated around Wembley – rub their hands in glee at the glut of ‘no vacancies’ signs, as they accommodate the thousands of football fans travelling to the capital to watch their teams in action. But, fans of football that can’t get a ticket to a game at Wembley needn’t despair. They can still access the stadium and sample its marvellous features at first-hand by buying a Stadium tour ticket.
