Source: The Sun, Singtao Translated by: aZnangel [Caption: Soso Jeh's golden phrase "So many complaints, it's hard to do a World Cup show!"] [Caption: Hacken Lee was one of the hosts for the last World Cup, it was good professional soccer talk, serious and good to watch.] TVB World Cup show completely irrelevant, Netizen says end the show This year TVB can only broadcast the four major events of the World Cup live, and cannot broadcast the highlights. So to replace that, TVB came up with a similar show <2010 Soccer Fever> sending out Samantha Ko for an 'adventure' to South Africa to gather clips of the World Cup and even brought several other artists with her to support the games, in order to fight off TVB's 'enemy' iCable. The show involved talking about artists rumors and playing the Super Trio games, which was completely irrelevant to the World Cup. The guests for TVB's World Cup show <2010 Soccer Fever> were requested to play the Super Trio food passing game. Louis Yuen and Chin Ka Lok played the game, causing a sports show to turn into a silly game show. Also with the ongoing dispute between HKRIA Big 4 and TVB, the show lacks popular singers Hacken Lee and Alan Tam who were usually present in the past. Even TVB's own artists were absent and there was no real professional talk about the sport. Review of the games could only be replaced by animated versions. Netizens and soccer fans felt its ridiculous and request the show to just end! Reporters contacted Louis Yuen over the phone, he said: "Chin Ka Lok and I were guests, chosen to appear. (The show was said to be stupid?) The programme was broadcast during two games to ease the tension. TVB has produced many different programmes, sending people out to South Africa, 'Miss Weather' Icy Wong did the weather report as a form of talking about soccer. Although we can't stop comparison, if an exact same show was done with professional talk about sports, then viewers will complain that they had no choices!" Hacken Lee was asked about the show being called stupid. He said: "It's hard on TVB, they can't broadcast the games live, hope people understand. Actually alot of effort was put into the animated version of the game review."
most probably becoz some other tv station outbid them for the broadcast rights. tsk tsk........cheapo tvb
