Everything one morning. As soon as I came downstairs to breakfast, I could see that he wasn’t his reserved self. “Can’t wait! FIFA World Cup! Big match! Must see!” I quickly figured out what all the was about: Dad is a big football fan.
I had never been interested in football, Dad’s excitement that morning made me more and more curious. I had to why this sport was making my normally reserved father act like a five-year-old on his first to Disneyland.
Dad decided that we should all eat at a little German restaurant so that we watch the World Cup while eating. Secretly, I think he was hoping to Mum and me into football fans.
The match started a few after we entered the restaurant. As I was eating my meal, a loud noise came from the television. , I looked up at the TV: “Why is that man jumping up and down?” Dad explained: “That’s Papa Bouba Diop, my son. It’s normal for them to jump up and down after they’ve scored.”
Dad almost everything to me. His monosyllabic（单音节的）answers were a thing of the past. I loved the Dad! I watched the rest of the match, becoming more and more . When I told my father that I planned to watch matches with him, he smiled and gave me a wink（眨眼）. At long last we had something in .
