Alex Scott had the BBC studio in hysterics after joking with Micah Richards to “have a word” with Roy Keane regarding his view on Brazil’s dancing during the World Cup. Scott and Richards were on punditry duty for Brazil’s quarter-final against Croatia alongside Jurgen Klinsmann and the trio were left disappointing as the game was goalless after 90 minutes.

Brazil huffed and puffed but struggled to find a way past Croatia’s rigid defensive unit. Neymar, Richarlison, Vinicius Jr and Antony had chances to break the deadlock, but were disappointing in front of goal.

Richards praised Croatia for their “disciplined” approach to the match, making reference to their “Samba dancing” from the game against South Korea. “They’ve [Croatia] been disciplined haven’t they,” he said.

“We were expecting goals and we came here Samba dancing and it’s not been that to be honest.” Scott then interjected on the point about the “Samba dancing”, joking about Keane’s anger towards Brazil’s antics during their match against South Korea.

“You need to have a word with your mate on the other channel that didn’t want to see the dancing,” she said. “We want to bring back the dancing because we need some entertainment!”

BBC host Mark Chapman then added: “Not all us arrived here Samba dancing I’d like to point out.”

Brazil were at their scintilating best in the last-16 tie against South Korea, scoring four goals inside the opening 36 minutes. The entire Brazil squad then broke out into dance with head coach Tite during the first half.

The antics didn’t go down well with Keane, who said on ITV: “It’s like watching Strictly.

“I can’t believe what I’m watching, I really can’t… I think that’s really disrespecting the opposition … I don’t think it’s good at all.”
