World Cup Fever…hmm not really!
I was going to wait and see what happens, but noticed no changes to the way people in HK regard the World Cup. Back home in England, all the talk would be about football in the newspapers and tv 24/7. Of course, HK don’t have a team good enough (hehe) to be involved in such a grand tournament - but I am surprised the lack of tv coverage and general “football vibe” is missing.
It seems the tv channels have dedicated more airtime to covering stories such as betting scams and general gambling related interests, whilst the actual scores and team progression are on the backburner.
Of course watching the matches in Hong Kong isn’t nothing like it is in England. Firstly you have to be a bit of a night owl and secondly you have to be in a group of people that actually enjoys football. It should be widely known that if you’re in a bar or pub in HK and the match is on, then everyone’s attention should be on watching the game - not deciding to have “a chat” or getting in the way of the screen.
I’d actually like to predict that Argentina and Brazil will be in the Finals, with Argentina winning 2-0 with goals coming from Heinz and Crespo, so if anyone wants to take this bet up then that’s fine by me!
