  3. Richarlison - different player or the same as before?

    BBC Sport's chief football writer, Phil McNulty, has given his views on Richarlison.

    Is the Brazil forward the same as he was for Everton?

  4. Richarlison looks like a Brazilian legend

    Brazil 4-1 South Korea

    Richarlison seems to be in a competition with himself to score goal of the tournament at Qatar.

    The 25-year-old Tottenham forward was a joy to watch at times agains South Korea on Monday.

    Aside from winning a penalty, his goal on the half-hour mark was trademark Brazilian brilliance - controlling the ball three times with his head and foot before making a run to receive it back from Thiago Silva and slot home.

    Added to his superlative overhead kick against Serbia during the group stages, Richarlison is building up quite a showreel at the World Cup.

    SMS Message: I have a feeling that Mbappe will not get the freedom against England that he enjoyed against Poland and as for Brazil dancing- it will be a very different game if England get to play them. And no this is not talking up our chances, just saying they will be different games from Alan

  10. 'Just going to leave this here'

    Julien Laurens has posted a pic of the bauble challenge leaderboard.

    Chris Sutton must have suffered from a touch of stage fright to only name three players? Or a terrible pick of baubles?!

  15. 'We want joy'

    Brazil 4-1 South Korea

    BBC Radio 5 Live

    Brazil celebrate

    BBC World Service journalist Fernando Duarte, who is from Rio de Janeiro, told BBC Radio 5 Live Brazil's dancing against South Korea was "fun" and it brought "joy."

    "My first advice to the people being negative is to get a life. If you're going to book players for celebrating then we're going to spend a lot of time booking players because even the normal celebrations at this World Cup have been over the top.

    "If player reserves and managers enter the pitch, then it's the joy. We want joy, we want football to be a happy thing!

    "Every time I talk about football, people say, Brazil used to be fun, when are they going to be fun again? Now they're being fun and they're being criticised!

    "Of course if you dance in the face of the opposition and are mocking then that that should be curved but they were just being happy.

    "These kids are boys! They're at the pinnacle of their career performing their dream, let them be happy.

    "I really didn't think it was anything out of the ordinary and I would be the first person to point out showboating.

    "It's just a dance, the African's used to do it too. People should dance more and be more happy."

  16. 'Time to end long goal celebrations

    Tweet #bbcfootball, text 81111 (UK only - standard rates apply) or WhatsApp 03301231826

    Peter McClure: Something needs to be done quickly about these long goal celebrations. Give them 60 seconds to get back before the ball is kicked off again. And stop substitutes running onto the pitch to celebrate.

  17. Pedalling to World Cup glory?

    England v France (Sat, 19:00 GMT)

  18. 'I was surprised Messi took my shirt'

    You may have seen this moment across social media when Australia midfielder Cameron Devlin went up to Lionel Messi to swap shirts with the Argentina great after the Socceroos 2-1 defeat on Saturday.

    Devlin, who plays for Hearts, told reporters when he arrived back at Sydney airport: "I went on (to the pitch) and consoled all the boys first and then shook Messi's hand.

    "No one had said anything so I just tried my luck and he said, 'I'll see you inside,' and that's what happened."

    "[I wanted] one of the other boys to have the opportunity first, but no one took it, so I thought why not?"

    "I don't know if mine will be on his wall at home or maybe still on the ground in that changing room but I'm not fussed - it's more that I got his. I was surprised he even took mine.

    "He definitely wouldn't know who I am, but he's a nice enough bloke and a humble enough bloke to still show that respect."
