My brother´s passion for Soccer

Every time there was a soccer game on TV, or a narration from the radio I was almost sure my brother was seeing or hearing it, he is one of the most loyal fans of soccer. He is especially fan of the soccer team Rayados, whose games my brother would not let them pass. He was always giving his cheer to them, shouting every time the opposing team scores, or applauding and yelling every time Rayados score. Whether it was raining, flashing or being so sunny that you would probably end with a different color of your skin, he was in there supporting them like if he would receive some kind of price for doing that. If by some mistake rayados lose the game, I really though it twice to talk to him. His humor changed completely, the minimum word we said to him the angrier he got. I used to call him hulk in a humorous way, so every time his team loses I shouted, “beware of hulk he is mad and will not doubt on killing us”. I should have not said nothing because he almost explode, making me run all over the house with him chasing on my back. Although I didn’t know when the next game of rayados would be, I was sure that I would notice it just because for the reason that my brother is the noisiest person, he would start applauding in the second the game starts. There were times were we got really shocked, imagine him preferring to be watching the game instead of going with us to this trip to Dallas. The only way we stop him staying home, was by buying this little TV that worked at least for that game, because the next day it was all broken because of all the courage that my brother made during the entire game. Fortunately for us, they did win the game; it was like a blessing from god liberating my family and me from the terrible hulk. I must say that, like my brother I also love seeing soccer games, but I am not as passionate as he does. I have been always impressed about his passion for soccer, an amazing thing is that he not only likes to watch games but he also played soccer, making his passion even more incredible. Sadly for me now he is not the only one, he got a bunch of people that shout and complain like him every time they play.
