This really is a nice site! Just people who broadcast live streaming, ranging from sports to music, movies, cartoons etc... The stream depends on the people who are sharing, so quality is not always guaranteed, but mainly, it's very good. Also, for golf fans, there is this channel 'golf 24x7' which broadcasts the golf channel, and sometimes tournaments which are not even viewable live in my country. (Belgium)

So whether you want to see a certain football match, or just browse for quality series or movies, or just watch some cartoons, this is the place to be!

Since a couple of months you can now buy online on decathlon.com.

I ordered something when it was barely a week available. You first have to select a store, and you can choose to collect it from that store or get it home delivered (5 € add). I did the latter and it arrived just 3 or 4 days later. The only mistake was that they delivered golf balls 'Callaway warbird' instead of the gloves I ordered (also named warbird). But after a phone call, they were professional and polite, they excused themselves for the mistake and sent the gloves free of charge. I could keep the golf balls because they made the mistake, as a commercial gesture. Very well resolved in my opinion.
The only downside are the prices. Their own products are often cheap, and decent quality, but brand product are (at least for golf) much more expensive than international golfshop sites like golfonline.co.uk or golfstoreeurope.com. Nevertheless still cheaper than most 'real' golf shops in Belgium.

I understand the experiences of Jean-Pierre and Marc. I have already ordered three times on golfstoreeurope.com, for a total of 800 euro now.
The first time it was delivered to me (Belgium) after just 3 days! On my second order, however, I ordered among other things a pair of shoes. When the order status did not change after a couple of days I emailed them. They told me the shoes had to be ordered from Footjoy (despite the words "available" on their site) and were going to be sent to me about three weeks later. They asked if I was okay to wait or they had to cancel the order. I replied I did not mind waiting. The rest of that order was sent and arrived perfectly. After three weeks waiting for the shoes, still nothing, I sent 2 mails, the last one was not even answered. But eventually, I received the shoes after 9 weeks. The 3th time I ordered among other things a Powakaddy golf cart and Titleist bag, who were 'available' on the site, same story. After an email they replied that it would be shipped later that week. Eventually, after some unanswered emails, it arrived 4 weeks later.
I have no problem waiting a bit for the orders (especially since compared to Belgium golf shops, golfstoreeurope.com is very cheap), but their communication could be better! Either an item is in stock, or it is not! Saying it is in stock, but then having to order it from the manufacturer does not make sense. Especially if they brag on their site about 'same day dispatch'!

My final opinion is: good and honest company with incredible prices that will eventually deliver, but it can sometimes take a while, and their communication is really weak... I personally will order again from Golfstoreeurope.com.

Post scriptum: As already stated by others, always choose a credit card that gives fraud warranty whenever you purchase things on the web!

Did Veetle shut down? Will it be back? What has happened?

You know, Decathlon is the only decent sporting goods shop in my area. And I really like that...
