At one time, it was nearly impossible to get the best soccer cleats, gear and apparel in America. That was very clear to Mike Moylan who, as an elite high school soccer player committed to Georgetown, wanted better options. So he decided to do something about it. As part of a high school project, Mike began Eurosport, a catalog business designed to deliver better soccer equipment options to the playing community in the US. Along with his brother Brendan, and the rest of his family, Mike turned the Eurosport into the first of its kind high-end soccer sporting goods catalog-based retailer. It later evolved into an early eCommerce success story in America, as the business transitioned to Soccer.com. Over the years, the business model has expanded further and thrives today as part of the Sports Endeavors, which includes other brands like WorldSoccerShop. Mike and Brendan Moylan joined the show to talk about their journey and the evolution of Soccer.com Founding Futbol is a year-long exploration of the critical moments that have led to soccer's emerging popularity in America.
