FA Cup(英格蘭足總盃)比賽,到了准決賽階段,
晉級的四隊中
Everton 對 Liverpool
Chelsea 對 Hotspur
Everton 是 妹妹現在最喜歡的隊伍,
Chelsea是她的舊愛,現在排名第二最愛,
而Hotspur是慧日支持的隊伍。
星期假日,若能幸運看到一場完整的現場轉播,是孩子最享受的事,
今天,正有這樣的幸運:
晚上7點半開始,直播倫敦Wembley球場的Everton 對 Liverpool之役。
可容納10萬觀眾的Wembley球場,是歐洲第二大足球場,
歷年來是舉行足總盃(FA Cup)賽事的場地,
也將是今年倫敦奧運足球賽的決賽場。
想像敵對兩軍各擁50000齊聲吶喊、高唱加油歌的熱情球迷,
在Wembley球場競技……。
妹妹支持的Everton,就如對接待家人女主人信中所說,
是歷年來最多次在准決賽中鎩羽而歸的隊伍。
這次能順利進入決賽嗎?
Everton 上半場1比0贏,結果,卻是2比1輸給Liverpool。
E.S.P.N.鏡頭掃過並停留在許多Everton球迷臉上,
木然的、不敢相信的、失望的、……。
執中試圖安慰失望的懷玉,說「Chelsea明天加油……」,
懷玉冷冷回一句「那已經不重要了」,悻悻然上樓。
她已經上樓半個小時,我的情緒卻未平復。
想到
她一早就特地換上Everton的球衣球襪,穿著它看這場比賽。
想到
她白天數度播放Everton昂揚的加油歌,為Everton打氣,
想到
雖然時空不同,她與Wembley球場上那50000名Everton球迷同樣澎湃,同樣充滿期待,到最後失落的心情。
……
鼻子酸酸、喉嚨硬硬的。
不是贏,就是輸,那是必然,
不是興奮,就是失望,那也是必然,
妹妹自己要去經歷,
我沒想在第一時間說些什麼。
攫住我的,
是那種「超越時空在一起」的感覺。
To 懷玉

剛好接待家庭主人支持對手Liverpool,
勝負底定,悲欣立見。
這是妹妹的功課:如何接受失敗、調整情緒,再向對手祝賀……
但慧日可是耿耿於懷,偷偷對我說:最討厭Chelsea了!
5月6日,Chelsea對Liverpool的冠軍戰,
有私心的媽媽,希望看到女兒的笑容,
所以,我為Chelsea加油……

冠軍戰,我們凌晨起來看,,Chelsea以2:1勝Liverpool。
不知道懷玉如何以勝隊之姿,寫信「安慰」接待家庭主人。
Dear ☆☆,
It has been very long that I could watch a full live game coz of the jet lag. it's always at 23:00 or even late.
But today it's at 19:25 and i was very happy and looking forward to watch the game.
i know everton is the team that was most time knocked out at semi-final.
everton have 5 cups and liverpool 7,
but everton 25 times get into semi-final and liverpool 23.
you know, at 24th minute i jumpped and shouted.
but it didn't last too long before distin made the mistake.
when i thought we were goin' to have 30 minutes added, carroll scored.
i was totally broken down by that.
i stepped strongly and went up stairs to my room,
i played everton chants loudly, again and again.
yes, i cried,
and pulled off that carroll poster wearing liverpool kit on my wall.
sorry, if these make you feel no good.
i tell you coz i think i can talk about everything to you all.
that's the true me.
that's my real feelings.
thanks for listening to me.
to you,
still congratulations, liverpool fought hard and won!
carroll deserves that goal.
i know how happy you were,
coz if it would be Everton, i would get crazy!
good luck to you in the final, no matter who you will face!
and at that day, your 1st goalee will be back!
……

次日,Chelsea以5比1大勝Hotspur,進入決賽。
懷玉賽前說過:誰贏我已經不在乎了,只要能打敗Liverpool就好……,
