Brazil have wasted no time in getting the party started, as their players have been filmed dancing before they even got off the coach for their World Cup quarter-final clash with Croatia.
Roy Keane branded Brazil as 'disrespectful' after players showed off a series of pre-planned dance routines to mark their goals in a 4-1 victory over South Korea - with even manager Tite getting involved.
Brazil's players showed that they are not concerned by Keane's comments, as they didn't even wait until they got into the stadium before they got into a dancing mood.

Keane's comments has led to a war of words involving the pundit and Brazil manager Tite
TNT Sports Brazil posted a video of Brazil players jumping up and down while singing and playing instruments on their journey to the Education City Stadium.
Among those seen in the video are Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson and Tottenham forward Richarlison - who is seen banging on a drum in the background.
Veteran Barcelona defender Dani Alves was one of only a few who decided to stay in their seat, but he is seen singing along with his team-mates.
Brazil raced into a 4-0 first-half lead in the last-16 clash with South Korea thanks to goals from Vinicius Jnr, Neymar, Richarlison and Lucas Paqueta.
The pundit called the dancing 'disrespectful' and compared it to 'Strictly Come Dancing' during ITV's coverage of the South Korea match, to which Brazil forward Vinicius Junior jokingly replied: 'Keeeep dancing!'
Tite then hit back at Keane's comments, saying those who criticised the celebrations did not understand Brazilian culture and that the dancing was 'not disrespectful' towards opponents.

Keane told manager Tite to 'dance in a nightclub' after he joined in with the celebrations
'This is not my team,' Tite said on Thursday. 'This is Brazil's team and I'm just the head coach. I will not comment on those who do not understand our history and our culture.
'It is part of our education. Kids dance in schools because it's Brazilian culture and that's not disrespectful. We will continue to do things in our manner.'
Keane was less than impressed with the incident on ITV's coverage of the game and has since told Sky Bet: 'I love watching Brazil and what they stand for.
'When you think of the World Cup you think of Brazil, I love watching them because they are brilliant at football, but not when they are dancing, or the manager starts dancing, it's not respectful.
'I don't get how a manager can dance when the game is still going ahead, he's got an opposition manager 10 yards away from him, you've got to watch that. The game is about respect. Dance afterwards in the dressing room, or in the nightclub, that's not a problem.
'But why is it okay for Brazil to do it during the game? If everyone has a dance after a goal, the games will be going on for three days.
'Do you know what they should start doing, when coaches do their pro licence, show the managers how to do a little dance on the sideline, forget tactics.'
Should Brazil defeat Croatia, they will face the winners of tonight's match between Argentina and Holland.
