Prepare to be rather pleasantly suprised. It's fair to say that Konami have bagged many new team licenses for PES2008, the latest, forthcoming installment of the Pro Evolution Soccer series. But the big debate over the years has been about the lack of licensing in English Premier League teams. Well, let me assure you that Konami have not put themselves out to back any more than 2 EPL licenses this time round. That's right, there's only 2 licensed English teams for the third year running.
However, we have all been wondering who these potential 2 teams would be. That's where I come in. Allow me to put your minds at rest folks, this year's PES game will have the following 2 English teams licensed (well 3 including the England national team):
Newcastle United and Tottenham Hostpur.
Here's the proof:

Right, well, swiftly moving on, the following has been announced:
Confirmed Licenced Leagues:
Again, sadly there's no Bundesliga.
Confirmed Licensed Teams:
Ok, so, several things. Why are there 4 licensed Swedish club teams? Why is there no CSKA Moscow? Basically why not have all the teams from this years Champions League? Then again, they would've only just found out who most of the 3rd and 4th seeds were in the last 10 days, so forget that.
I'm sure it'll still be amazing
