The United States have been waiting a long time for soccer to reach the heights that it has reached in most other parts of the world, but now that time is on the horizon. Millions of youth soccer players are registered in the States, and record TV audiences for the 2010 World Cup show that there is indeed a passionate interest invested in the future of US soccer. The Americans have had a lot of success on the international circuit. They have won the CONCACAF Gold Cup four times, placed third in the inaugural World Cup, and narrowly lost to Brazil in the final of the 2009 Confederations Cup. The US has consistently shown determination and guts throughout their history by upsetting the likes of Spain, England, and Italy in important international competitions. Their star players include the iconic Landon Donovan, skillful Clint Dempsey, and the always solid goalie Tim Howard. The United States mission is clear. They want to beat the world at its own game.

Customization:
If you want a name and/or number on the officially licensed products you buy here at Soccercart.com, we would be more than happy to do that for you. You have the option of getting our personal customization, or you may get the authentic customization. The authentic comes with the official crest in the numbers and can only be completed by the manufacturer. This option is about twice the price of our personal customization. Our personal customization includes the same design and text font as the authentic; however the numbers do not bear the official crest. Whatever your choice is, we are fully capable of fulfilling your needs and would be happy to do so.
Replica vs. Authentic:
Whether you’re a casual supporter or diehard fan, our licensed products make an excellent choice. Many people get confused about what replica entails, and how that compares to authentic. Let us assure you that replica items are just as official as authentic items, they are just designed for different purposes. Authentic jerseys are the actual jerseys the professional soccer players wear. They are made with high quality material and are extremely durable. They are also very expensive, usually going for double the price of the replica jersey. Just as the authentic is the official item for the professional user, the replica is the official product for the fan. They are made by the same manufacturer; however they (Adidas, Nike, Puma, etc.) use less material when designing the replica item in order to make it more affordable. The material and technology used to make replica products are still of a very high quality. Most manufacturers design the apparel to keep you dry and comfortable so you can not only wear it to support your team, but also play in it and receive the benefits of an athletic jersey. To summarize, a replica item is virtually identical in appearance, made by the same top brand the authentic item is made by, and is half the price while still giving you the properties of quality athletic equipment. We assure you all our licensed products are completely official and are made with quality materials.
