For next season im thinking about getting a pair of slip-in nike's. I found 2 good ones i like but i cant decide..



Nike J-Guard? http://img151.exs.cx/img151/629/39431of.jpg



OR





Nike Team Guard II's? http://img151.exs.cx/img151/5047/teamiipad7wt.jpg

deffinitely get the nike team guard 2 i use them and they feel soooooooooo much better than the j guard cuz u dont have to keep pulling them up and plus ronaldo wears the team gurad 2

i'd get the guard 2's. do u know how much they cost in pounds?

i was looking online and theyre lyk 3 or 4 pounds

they cost me 4 quid from jjb - i bought them as training pads cos they were small , cheap n sklip ins ((and i wanted 2 test out slip in pads)) - they are quality - dont slip much and comfy and most importantly protect your shins well


i would also recomend

ADIDAS F50+ shinpads ((if ur looking for looks then they are nice 2))

but they are good protection , good feel and fit dont slip and r comfy


and by the way - try and get your hands on a pair of NIKE COMPRESSION leg warmer things ((pic below)) u can pick em up for about 3 or 4 quid at Sport soccer in London - they are great for holding the pads in place and keep blood flowing/keep legs warm/feel good


((pic for compression sleeves ((not the pads but the blue sleeve ))))

thanks guys im definately going with the teaM guard II's...

Thamks oli,...but my brother has thos guards, and i dunt like them...they're too wide =].

where do you find the team guard at the internet?

Do anyone actually know where I can find the Nike Team Guard II
like http://img151.exs.cx/img151/5047/teamiipad7wt.jpg?

Ill go for the Nike Team Guard 2 mate

Hehe

But do you have an address for a web-site that sells the shinguard?????
In England of course, or nearly Norway

(I'm not good at writing English)

No one knows?

dnno, theyre very hard to find now, i had a pair and LOVED them they were so light and fit so well, but some guy hard tackled me and cracked them (they saved my life)

You can buy the Nike Tiempo Team's which is kind of similar to the Team Guard II's.

Do you know a website that sells them on internet?

An English based website or anywhere?

Anywhere in Europe

I have these cheap adidas shins that are sliver and black (no clue what the name is, got em cheap) and I got em too big, much too big. Ill end up kicking the ball with my shin guards rather then my boot. So i measured my shin and its about 13 inches long from the ankle to then knee...what size would you recommend getting? (the XL is much too big for me)



p.s. I got a serious injury today wich fracutred my leg (championship game)...what hapened was i pressured the other player and stepped in fornt of him and got the ball when i was going to pass and he kicked me as hard as he could in the back of my left leg, which left my nerves twitching the whole rest of the game and my bone feeling split ( I still cant walk 5 hours later). I got a 2nd yellow card shown to me while I was on the ground screaming in pain...lol funny part is that i got 2 yellows but they subbed someone else in (1st yellow was for telling someone to shut the f*ck up)

I think you should get a size medium.


Here's the link... http://www.prodirectsoccer.com/prodinfo.as...RAND=9&SS=1

Fu**in hell mate how long will that put you out for ?, id get a medium yeah in shinguards if your shin is about 13 inch. Lmao at your yellows though .

Does anyone know what sort of tape Cristiano Ronaldo uses. Also, what sort of protection do you think I need as a fullback?

I think that you maybe should have a pair of Nike J guard or Nike Team Tiempo.. (thats my oppinion because those are the guards that I know something about. )

It hurts like hell to even walk now...but Im still playing...and better then before


and to contribute to this thread...Which shins are better? The Nike Team Guard IIs or the Nike Mercurial Lite?

Neither. J Guards all the way. I have the Lites too, white/gold to go with my boots, but they feel so thick and ventilation is not as good.

i have the vapor 3 slip in pads there well nice small slip in light and molded to my lef nicley got them when the vapor 3 seriers first came out.i think there the lites not sure. can you buy j guards in the uk becuase i cant find them anywhere

not that i know of, they're quite extinct to find brand new ones. best bet would be ebay or someone that still has then unused

ok then ive been out for 4 weeks no with a medial laterial ligament sprain and you fractured your leg and can still play my physio or coach wont let me play till 25 feb

My Birthday is 25th! Lol!

J Guards or Nike Team Guard IIs?




Im confused..oh well. I REALY NEED TO KNOW SOON what the BEST "extremely lightweight but protective" combination for boots/shins/anke etc etc out there is? Anyone got any opinions (im leaning towards Nike Vapors..but my foot is wide"

So's mine mate!

I just found a site that sells all these guards...but which one? lol

Do you want shin guards that have straps so you don't have to use tape or do you want shin guards that you just slip in and use tape to hold up? I bought the Nike Team Guards and so far, they're holding up really well. But I can't really comment on the J Guards cause I haven't tried them yet but I'm sure lots of people like them.

Well, I mean shin guards realy should not be a tough decision but for some reason they are

Im looking at:
Nike Delta Lite Shinguards
Nike Vapor Lite
Nike J Guard
Nike Team 2
Nike Mercurial Lite
Nike TIempo Ronaldhino
adidas Pro Lite Shinguard
Under Amour MPZ





very long list..but after my shinguards, Im not making a big mistake like that again lol.
So which one is the litest with the most protection (i might order 3 or 4 since you can't buy any here)

Go for the Nike J Guard.

Yeah Ill go for the Nike J Guard, but since there so cheap Ill also get the Vapor Lites and the Nike Team 2.

Thanks!

Do people really feel the difference in weight? I'm a striker/attacking c-mid & wear Puma King Execs. These are quite big compared to things like JGuards but then again I'm a butcher so I like the added protection...

What's the adress to the site?

I'm looking to buy a pair of slip-in guards, but I'm not sure if I should get ones with straps or a sleeve. Which is better? I'm mainly thinking Nike. Can anyone help? oh, and I'm also a left-back. So something a little more geared towards my position.

Do you like to slide tackle a lot? Cause if you do, go for a pair with ankle protectors.

I do like to tackle (yet i'm terrible at it) although I have a pair of ankle protectors, but I'd like to have my shinguards separate from my ankle protectors

lol u dont need no ankle protectors lolol take it like a man ive been wearing my shiin pads since i was a kid n they only cover 4 inches of my shin lol

Well we'll see who's laughing when you get stretchered off with a broken tibia. Trust me i've broken mine before. It's quite painful.

Learn how to tackle properly then. An ankle protector won't prevent a serious ankle injury if you dig the ground on your tackle, only a miracle will.

Of course that's true, but having a shinguard so small is pointless. I only wear my ankle guards against certain times (ie. dirty teams who step on your heels and ankles). I don't think they provide that much prtection, but the guard itself is very important. No point in covering a couple inches of your leg when it's 12 inche long.

Which one to get?

Adidas F50 TPR
Adidas predator TPR

hi, i had the nike team guard exactly like the ones above, iv just lost them last week. im desperate for a new pair. can someone please tell me where i can get a pair???

^^Can anyone help? Or does anyone have a Predator shinguard or an F50 shinguard that they like alot?

Hi !
Where do you lost your Nike Team II Guard and where do you want to buy a new one?
Thank you,
Marco

Received my new 10R shinguards today, i'll try and post pics later

^^^ Are they any good at all? I could have gotten them but didn't...

Yeah, they're actually REALLY nice. The sleeve's fairly tight, although it does slip a little. With a good sock, I don't think i'll even have to tape them. They have some really nice detailing on the inside and along the top too.
