The FA Premier League Stars demo will be released tomorrow at FAPLS Online.

>> Good news guys! I'm sure you're all pretty pissed that I've been inconsistant recently with my updating of this page ;-) From this weekend onwards Andrew Nicholson, well known for his work at the site www.cmbenelux.com, will be updating this page every evening. Still send your news into me, and I'll forward any top news to Andrew.

About the ESP. I should make an apology because the Monday release date was simply a suggested date that Chris put forward to me. To save any future hassles I will only announce the ESP Millennium Patch when it has been released. Rest assured, that will be soon.

If you're interested in maintaining the Downloads page, please email me. I need someone who can update regularly as I haven't heard from Alex in a long time. If anyone knows where he is, please let me know.

>> I'm also very busy now days, and I don't have enough time to maintain all of the sites I currently do. Therefore, if someone (hopefully a very regular visitor who knows how the site is generally maintained) is interested in taking over this entire site, please contact me. Do not worry, if no one can offer more to FIFA 99 Online than I can currently, I will continue to update the page every day, or at the least, every second day. I simply feel that there would be others out there who would be more interested and have more time on their hands to do a better job than I am currently. Hopefully I will then be able to concentrate on developing FIFA 2000 Online into a page as informative as this one was at the peak of FIFA 99 interest.

>> I'm trying to get in contact with Chris Davies for the latest on the ESP Millennium.

>> FIFA Latin America recently uploaded a whopping 108 mb Spanish commentary patch. This is great news for anyone who speaks Spanish and wasn't able to purchase the Spanish version of FIFA 99. Now you can use the very impression FIFA LA Patch, with all your favourite Latin American clubs, along with the correct commentary. The commentary patch has been broken down into smaller zip files for easier downloading. They've also just opened a load of new hosted sites. So do yourself a favour and visit FIFA LA.

Ric posted news at Soccer Gaming about Jochen Tree's latest 99/00 Global FIFA 99 Rosters. It adds updated Belgium, Dutch and German Leagues to the already updated English, French, Scottish and USA Leagues. You can get it here. Make sure you visit Soccer Gaming daily because quite often Ric will post FIFA 99 news about updates at other sites that I don't post on this page.

Sorry about my slackness when it has come to updating this page. I've been really busy and anytime I've had on the net has been devoted to Soccer Gaming and the new FA Premier League Stars site, which oddly enough opened this evening.

>> Karl has informed me that he's posted 5 new leagues in the Leagues section. I agree that it is very hard to see which page has been updated so I'll get him to sort it out ASAP.

>> Chris Davies belives (if everthing goes to plan) that the ESP Millennium upgrade will be available on Monday. Finally, lower division teams in FIFA 99! :-)

>> Bundesliga Stars 2000 Online has gone live.
