>>I've received quite a few emails regarding the ESP zip file not working. People are downloading it, but when they try to run it an error comes up saying bad zip, try downloading again (or something to this effect). I myself have the same problem. I am trying to sort the problem out at the moment so please bare with me.

Today I bring you news of 3 great new patches which are being developed:

Over at http://mexico.fifala.com/99 they are currently working on the 2001 versions of their Mexico 2000 and Latino 2000 - Mexico 2001 and Latino 2001. Also they are making a Mexico 2001 tournament with Mexican teams only.

The third patch is a huge patch, it is not expected to be complete any time soon but it will include loads of great features:

• Updated FA Premiership, including some new stadiums
• Nationwide Division 1 (overwriting the USA league)
• Some new music tracks
• Updated Champions League and UEFA Cup
• 8 new international teams (which teams is yet to be decided)
• A Legends league (replacing the Brazilian League) containing some of the great teams of the past
• All other leagues will be updated as much as possible
• Also the Belgian League may be renamed to Rest Of The World and new teams will be added lik Necaxa, Raja, Casablanca etc.

Ash Spate is the guy developing this patch. Yet again stay tuned for news on its development.

There are also some new downloads today. They are as follows:

• Panathinaikos Kit

>>If you've been in our forums recently you will have seen news of a complete update for FIFA 99 for the 2000/2001 season. Today I can reveal what this patch will include, as Tom (the creator of this fantastic patch) has sent me the full features list. The patch will include the following:

• Updated Leagues of Holland, England, Sweden, Italy, Germany, Scotland, Spain, France, MLS, Rest of Europe, International Teams, Portugal becomes Classics, Champions League and UEFA Cup
• New Turfs
• New Ball
• New Adboards
• New Music Track: Champions League Theme
• New Referee Kits
• New Goalkeeper Kits

This promises to be one of THE patches for FIFA 99. The only downside is that it won't include any new player kits, but when you take a look at the features they more than make up for this. So far, the Dutch and English leagues are complete so there is still quite a way to go, but we will keep you updated on its progress.

As well as bringing you that great news, I have made an update to the downloads section. Here is what I've added today:

• América (From Mexico) Kits
• A Serie A 2000/2001 Update
