Father, son take football rivalry to next level with splashes of colours
The Hindu
The colour is the message in this family, quite literally.
While the fans of Argentina and Brazil have been outmanoeuvring each other in supporting their favourite team ahead of the Copa America finals on Sunday, 51-year-old Jesudas Xavier and his 17-year-old son Jomon Yesudas from Pathanamathitta, have taken this rivalry to the next step. When the father, a die-hard Argentina fan, decided to make his point ahead of the epic dual by painting an Argentine flag on the exterior wall of their house, the son has responded by colouring the remaining side of the building with strokes of green, blue and yellow. As if that isn’t enough, this football fanatic duo has planned to host celebrations of their respective supporters here while watching the finals on Sunday morning. The house, located in Thekkemala Pannivelichira, has now drawn a lot of attention with the photo now being shared widely on the social media while footballs fans are also reaching out to them in solidarity.
