sport news Brazil turn on Roy Keane over criticism of World Cup dancing as Man Utd legend ... trends now
Roy Keane has come under fire in Brazil after branding the country's World Cup stars 'disrespectful' for their dancing celebrations against South Korea.
Brazil stormed into the quarter-finals after blitzing South Korea inside 36 minutes of Monday night's last-16 tie, with goals from Vinicius Jr, Neymar, Richarlison and Lucas Paqueta sending them in at the break 4-0 to the good.
