Rio Ferdinand
Former England defender on BBC OneI have got no fears for this England team. You have to beat what is in front of you and they have done it convincingly. If you were told you were going to be playing in the quarter-finals against a France team with five of their starters missing, you would accept that."

If we get to play Brazil I really hope Jude, Foden and Saka etc pull off this dance in the 95th minute after scoring the winner.

England's momentum and confidence growingpublished at 09:12 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2022
England v France (Sat, 19:00 GMT)
Image source, BBC SportThis is the stage when we can start to look at England's possible path to the final and, like I say, there is nothing to be scared of.
The England players cannot say it, but they must be thinking the same thing - and why not, because this is a great opportunity for them.
Their momentum is building and their confidence is growing so, yes, it is looking good.
There were some huge performances from our players against Senegal, but the manager deserves as much credit as they do.
Gareth Southgate made some more big calls with his team selection for that game, and got all of them absolutely spot on again.
It was incredibly harsh on Marcus Rashford to be left out after his goals against Wales in the previous match, but when the team plays like they did, there is no comeback because you know Southgate got it absolutely right.
We will have to wait and see what plan he has for France, but I am expecting him to stick with four at the back rather than switch to a five.
We have got so many talented players to come into the team, or come off the bench, but England have been really impressive playing in that system so why change it?

The countdown is well and truly under way for England against France on Saturday. One former Three Lions captain has been having his say about the quarter-final showdown.

Dancing aside, even the third choice keeper has been given time on the pitch...
Brazil have now used all 26 members of their squad at the 2022 World Cup (including three goalkeepers), becoming the first side in World Cup history to use as many as 26 players at a single edition.

When African teams do cultural dances as celebrations, everyone loves it. Just because its Brazil and they're good, should they hide their culture? That first-half was a joy to watch yesterday, and the dancing was part of it, although Paqueta was pushing it! Refreshing to see past the dull media training we normally see.

Those moves from Brazilpublished at 09:00 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2022
Brazil 4-1 South Korea
Roy Keane called the Brazil team "disrespectful" for dancing so much during their win over South Korea on Monday.
Others have accused him of being a kill-joy.
Wherever you stand on today's hottest debate - let's take a moment to appreciate those moves again.

I agree Brazil's dancing is a little cocky. But the higher they fly the harder they will fall.

Brazil 4-1 South Korea
Image source, Getty ImagesBrazil head coach Tite can easily explain the 'jig' performed by his players after every goal.
"There's no interpretation other than happiness at the goal, happiness for the team, happiness for the performance," he said following the win at Stadium 974.
"There was no disrespect for the opposition nor towards (South Korea coach) Paulo Bento, for whom I have a lot of respect."

South Korea are 28th in the world. Brazil are 1st. If those players had been playing a Copa do Brazil game (Brazil's FA Cup), against a lower league club and after scoring a 4th goal, would they have still celebrated like that?! I think not. Being on the world stage shouldn’t rip the respect out of a sport

Brazil 4-1 South Korea
Image source, Getty ImagesFormer Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane called-out Brazil's goal celebrations at half-time and said it's "disrespecting the opposition."
Speaking to ITV Sport, he added: "I've never seen so much dancing, it's like watching Strictly.
"I just can't believe what I'm watching, I really can't. I don't like this.
"Eni's [Aluko] has made the point about culture but I think that's really disrespecting the opposition.
"It's 4-0 and they're doing it every time. I don't mind the first little jig or whatever they're doing. But it's the one after that and then the manager getting involved with it.
"No I'm not happy with it. I don't think it's good at all."

Brazilians react to 'disrespectful' claimspublished at 08:34 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2022
Brazil 4-1 South Korea
Roy Keane is another prominent voice in football who has added his take on Brazil's celebrations.
The former Manchester United captain said it was "disrespectful" for the Brazilian squad to dance in celebration after each of their four goals against South Korea.
But Brazilians outside the pitch did not receive the criticism lightly.
Broadcaster TNT Sports Brasil called out the former Irish captain in a tweet, telling him: "Hello, Roy Keane! Didn't like the dances? Bite your back! This is Brazil!".

Was Brazil's dancing too much?published at 08:26 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2022
Brazil 4-1 South Korea
Brazil's dance moves have caused quite a stir amongst fans and pundits, with a definite split between those who love it and those who hate it.
Henry Winter, chief football for The Times, tweeted that last night's showing was the same as a 1970 Pele leap or an '82 Roberto Falcao special.
"Anyone having a problem with Brazil's dancing is just a kill-joy," he added.
Do you agree?

After Brazil's dancing demolition of South Korea on Monday we want to know if you thought the antics of Tite's side were disrespectful? Or is it all in the spirit of a World Cup?
Have a watch of the video below and see what you think.

Brazil 4-1 South Korea
Image source, ReutersBrazil's coach Tite has been defending his squad's showboating during the match last night.
As Richarlison scored the team's third goal in 30 minutes, players started dancing in celebration and Tite briefly joined them.
Defending his decision, the 61-year-old coach said he tries to adapt to the characteristics of the players.
"They are very young and I try to adapt a bit to their language, and part of their language is dancing," he added.
