Kaos
Footballista, John Farnworth from England has become the European
Football Freestyle Champion after winning the Eurobach 07 Championships in Vienna, Austria;
defeating both Mr Woo (England)
and Sean (France)
in the Final.
This
victory adds to the World Title Championship he won at last year’s Masters of
the Game competition in Amsterdam
– making him the current World and European Champion!
When asked
about this incredible achievement at such a tender age, John said “It’s
amazing! It was the biggest challenge I’ve had in my career so far as the best
Football Freestylers I believe are the Europeans, and to come here and win is
fantastic! The overall standard was very high and is only getting better!”
There were
five Kaos Footballistas in the invitation only competition (Mr Woo, John
Farnworth, Abbas Farid, Nam the Man and Palle), with a
total of fourteen competitors from all over Europe.
Three of the five members of Team Kaos got through to the final of six with
Abbas Farid (Wales)
also progressing through from the initial Final Qualifying round.
However it
must be said that the fact that both Nam the Man and Palle did not make
it through to the Final did cause some controversy, with Nam in
particular doing enough in the opinion of most to get through!
Other
countries represented in the competition included Hungary, Germany, Holland, Belgium,
Wales,
Bosnia,
France,
England
and Sweden.
It is hoped
that more competitions of this nature will be conducted in the future and one
thing is for sure, Kaos Football is sure to have a strong presence once again.
