Richarlison's pigeon dance celebration made a commotion during the World Cup, but Brazil superstar Ronaldo appeared to love it when he was taught the dance.

Brazil blew their opponents away in the first half of their last-16 match against South Korea on Monday evening, scoring four goals in 36 minutes.



It was Samba football at its best, with the South Americans clearly having a good time and dancing in delight after each score.



Of course, it wasn't to everyone's taste, with Roy Keane understandably unimpressed, which is more of a medal of honor given that guy hates having fun.

Among the goal scorers was Tottenham Hotspur's Richarlison, who scored his third of the tournament before performing his pigeon dance with manager Tite.


However, the Brazil leader isn't the only one who's learned it, as seen in the video below, which shows the 25-year-old showing famed rapper R9 how to break out the dance.
Keane objected to the dancing because it was insulting to the opponents, who showed much too much respect to the Selecao.


Tite rejected this and explained why he did the dance after the match, stating, "I said if you [Richarlison] show it to me, I'll do it, but we have to be careful because many people will claim it was rude."

"I didn't want it to be mistaken as anything other than joy for the goal and the outcome, rather than that we were insulting our opponent, which was not the case."

It's a sad day for football when cynics can make Brazil loving their game appear to be a negative thing.
It just took seven minutes for Real Madrid sensation Vinicius Junior to score his second goal for the international squad.

At the back post, the forward got on the end of Richarlison's pass, taking a touch before sending it into the top right corner of the goal.
Richarlison was clipped in the box for the second goal, and Neymar, returning from injury, went up to score the penalty spot, gently putting the ball into the net.

Then it was the turn of the Spurs' star to score, adding to his brace in their opening against Serbia, after some great build-up play.
The attacker beat his defender, passed to Marquinhos, who passed to Thiago Silva, who in turn provided a beautiful ball for Richarlison, who made it 3-0.
The fourth came via Richarlison and Neymar before finding its way to Vinicius, who passed the ball back for Lucas Paqueta to score.


The World Cup favorites had a fantastic first half, but not everyone was impressed, with Graeme Souness complaining about Neymar even after the game was over.
The second half wasn't as interesting because the work was already done, and South Korea scored a consolation goal in the 76th minute through Paik Seung-ho.

Croatia will face Brazil in the quarterfinals and will be hoping for less dancing from the five-time champions.
