Jabulani Fever

KATHMANDU, JUN 09 -
The FIFA World Cup has to be the biggest festival on the planet. Watched by nearly half of the world’s population, this year’s South African edition promises to be bigger, better, and throw up many more surprises than ever before. The Post’s Anustha Shrestha and Sambhav Sirohiya asked a few celebrities on the team that they will be supporting, and where they will watch the matches.







Usha Khadgi

Former Miss Nepal

Of course I am excited. I will be supporting Brazil as I did before. I watched the finals of the last World Cup at Eden in Kathmandu Mall with friends. This year too, I have plans for a get-together at my place for the main matches. I will be enjoying it with my husband and some friends.

Lead Guitarist, 1974 AD

I have not been following it up lately but I will be supporting Brazil. On the opening day, I will catch the match in Moksh with my friends and band members.



Dinesh D.C.

Actor

I used to play the game when I was young. Argentina has been my favourite team. I have a tight schedule so I won’t be able to watch all the matches, but I won’t miss the quarters, semis and the finals. My family has been planning to watch the matches together so I have left it up to my daughter to decide the venue.

I am not very enthusiastic about football. I don’t have a favourite team and will maybe support some Asian team. I might catch up with one or two matches scheduled in the evenings.



Simrika Sharma

News Presenter

I am looking forward to this World Cup because this event comes after a long time. I am supporting Argentina, Brazil and England, but I am a bit disappointed because my favourite player, Ronaldinho, will not be playing this time.



Rekha Thapa

Actor

I would love to watch every single match, but some of the matches are at midnight which is too late because I am a busy person. I will try not to miss any of Brazil’s matches since they are my favourite team. It’s sad that Ronaldo and Ronaldinho are not in the squad this year; they have always been my favourites.





Deepak Giri

Actor

Argentina should win this World Cup considering they have the best footballer—Messi. I am looking forward to it; most probably I will watch the matches up to the quarter finals at home as they are not as important as the matches after the quarter finals. I will watch the matches after that in restaurants that screen them.
