Celebrities and the World Cup | Saturday, July 01, 2006
Saturday Weekly
Celebrities Watching Soccer
This month, besides a lot of people watching the World Cup, Toronto is also being watched by a lot of people. Saturday Weekly speaks to five of Hong Kong’s artists about the World Cup. Someone is considered as half a fan, someone else said that they don’t watch soccer, but they all have their own teams that they support.
The most interesting was how Janice said the wrong thing, said that Korea has lost before they even had their final game. And in the end? She was right!
The reporter asked Janice if she watched the World Cup. She said, “I did! I watched Korea and France’s match. In the end they lost, so unhappy! (Wasn’t that match a draw?) Yes, but in the end when they were calculating the points they still lost, so sad!” The day of that interview (23rd June, 1 o’clock in the afternoon) was before North Korea’s last game. At that time, North Korea was coming second, so why did Janice say that North Korea had already lost?
“Really? I don’t know. Ha, ha … I don’t watch every single game, only North Korea’s, because my mother is Korean, so I also hope to support the North Korean team. I think that they’re not playing as well as they did in the last World Cup. But I think that they still have hope. Out of the many Asian teams, they play the best.”
Janice expressed that she won’t be watching the games of other teams.
In the end, North Korean lost the game, 0:2 to Switzerland, and France won 2:0. Janice had predicted that North Korea was going to be out. Some ball fans can’t even keep up with this prediction of the way the games are going.
Sharon Chan expressed that she does watch Soccer, and although she doesn’t watch every single game, she does understand a little, at least she can still name a few of the good-looking players.
“I think Argentina plays pretty well.” Does this mean Sharon is one of Argentina’s fans?
“Actually I like Brazil, but this year they don’t seem to be playing as well …” After thinking for a moment, she added, “Ricardo Kaka is very good-looking!”
Besides supporting Brazil, Sharon, like many Hong Kong people, support England as well. “England isn’t too well this year, and they got hurt in the Olympics … also that Crouch one …” The reporter asked, “Is it Peter Crouch?” Sharon answered, “Yes, Peter Crouch. He plays pretty well, too.”
As to whether or not she is considered a soccer fan, she answered, “I don’t watch Soccer that much, I’d watch the World Cup, but normally I don’t.”
Sunny Chan said that he doesn’t watch Soccer much nowadays, but in the past he was a fanatic of Soccer. It’s just that after entering the entertainment industry, because he has to handle his work, it was hard to keep his body in a superbly fit state, so he would sleep before twelve o’clock. “When I was still in acting school, I would watch soccer with my friends in the middle of the night, but after joining the entertainment industry, I stopped that.” Even though he doesn’t watch Soccer, when he was asked which team he supports, Sunny Chan said, “Definitely Brazil!”
Raymond Lam said that his schedule was so full that he couldn’t even accept some of the acting and other jobs offered to him. It was rare that he could go to Toronto and he treats this like a holiday. With the World Cup, he doesn’t have time to watch it, and also he said that he himself was never a fan of Soccer. However, when he was asked which team he supports, he responded strongly, saying, “Hong Kong people definitely support Brazil!” May I (the reporter) ask, is there a law in Hong Kong that states Hong Kong people must support Brazil?
Melissa Ng admitted that she doesn’t watch the World Cup. “I grew up in America, all the Soccer that I watch is American style.” But some people someone said that during filming, when the asked Melissa to join them, she didn’t decline the offer. “I would also listen to people talk about the World Cup, because if you don’t listen, you’ll have one less topic. It seems that Brazil is not bad, but tis year they’re not as good.”

The Beehive thanks ...
Fung's Label, Raymond's previous official website and its
webmistress, Sasa, for providing so much of Raymond's news and
information. Without FL, many of Raymond's fans would've been
like little losties, without any clue as to where to find
Raymond's news. FL kept us informed and updated for a total of
2 years. It officially closed on the 21st August 2006, but I
would still always remember it.
52raymond.com, also known as the Lam House.
It was my source of Raymond's media. The fans
there updated new clips or songs of Raymond's very quickly. It
was a brilliant forum, a true home to Raymond's fans. It
officially closed on the 1st September 2006, but I would still
always remember it.
Vickie. She's my beautiful Net friend with a strong command of the
Chinese language and very frequently she helps me with
translations. She's also excellent when it comes to graphics
and even though I haven't actually used any of her graphics in
The Beehive, I still thought that it was worth mentioning.

Expectations of fans
