The Kick Off 2 World Cup will be held in Rome this weekend. So far 53 players have signed up which makes it the second biggest World cup in history.
The outcome of the tournament is difficult to predict but there are four main favourites; Gianni Torchio (The number one in the November Ranking), Gianluca Troiano (Three times world champion), Spyros Paraschis (World Cup winner 2006) and Alkis Polyrakis (WC Champ 2001 and 3rd ranked player in the tournament).
It will be a fun time in Rome for sure.

- Kick Off 2 competition version - The updated version of Kick Off 2 works on regular Amiga hardware and on WinUAE. Check out this advanced work-in-progress thread (http://www.ko-gathering.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=9985)! All reports indicate that efforts to update Kick Off 2 on Amiga hardware are being met with great results. Those with Amiga hardware report identical feeling with the classic game. The game is even more enjoyable allowing the chance of competitions without Team A/B dfferences and to choose to play with or without PBD. Others who have played the Competition version on WinUAE have also found great success, although there remain a lot of discussions about how much the classic game can be modified without the changes becoming too extreme.
