Compression shorts for Football

Hope it's ok to put this here. Im looking for a decent pair of compression shorts for playing soccer. It seems difficult to find them in sports shops, only ones I find are the thicker ones for rugby. Im looking for the thinner, cycling-like shorts.

Had an injury to my hip and groin and was recommended these. Anyone bought any? or what would be a good place online to find them? Would be good to hear from soccer fan's experiences of wearing them too.

They're quite comfortable for watching football in, although they do sort of ride the sack and produce a lot of sweat, which draws a lot of attention to me when I adjust them in the bar.

I have these i'd recommend them. These are good too. Can't go too far wrong with these either.

Thanks a lot for that. Heard good things about the Skins range alright. How is the sizing in these things? I'd be 6'0, 13 stone, i'm thinking maybe size L.

Also how far do they go down your leg, is it just beyond the end of the shorts. Thanks again.

Size chart reckons you're an M

I don't find them particularly long. The adidas ones are much longer.

Just over half way down your thigh i'd say.
