Kollam: Brazil fans in Kerala have woken up with renewed vigour as the FIFA World Cup is set to kick-off in Russia this week.
An ardent fan, 'Brazil Sudheer', has taken the football frenzy to a new level by painting his house and vehicles with his favourite team's colour.
Sudheer has painted his house, 61, Mahatma Nagar, Pallimukku, yellow ahead of the World Cup. His car and scooter have all turned yellow. The name board of the house was also changed to 'Brazil Sudheer'.
Sudheer's car now sports pictures of current Brazil stars Neymar, Philippe Coutinho, Marcelo, Casimiro and Gabriel Jesus, apart from legends Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos, who earned laurels for the South American team earlier. Slogans hailing Brazil have also been scribbled on the vehicle.
The ardent Brazil fan is planning to take a tour of Kozhikode and Malappuram districts with his yellow car during the World Cup.
Sudheer's little son Alim is already hooked to the game and harbours the same passion for Brazil.
According to Sudheer, the traditional Brazil-Argentina rivalry has already come alive at the Lal Bahadur Stadium here, with regular matches as well as debates.
