World Cup 2022: Worldies, carnival & showboating as brilliant Brazil light up Qatar

This was Brazil at their best, with carnival dancing, world-class goals, party tricks and thousands in yellow enjoying themselves.

We are used to seeing them in the knockout stages of the World Cup, but this was a treat and one of the best performances of the tournament.

A legendary number 10 playing tricks, a juggling Richarlison scoring worldies, and a constant carnival sound came from the thousands of supporters dressed in yellow.

There is a drug called devastating. Chris said that Brazil were saying to the rest of the teams that they were here.

'Absolutely Seoul destroying'

There is no doubt that the Selecao are here.

Vinicius Junior had his moments in the spotlight, while Richarlison continued his quest to score the goal, or goals, of the tournament.

There were legends all around before kick-off as Ronaldinho's name was plastered across the backs of shirts and the stands were adorned with pictures of the greats.

The return of Brazil's current star had fans chanting for him as he approached the penalty spot ready to double their lead.

There was an eruption of noise, a dancing demonstration by manager Tite and a hug for injured defender Alex Telles by the player. There was more to come as Brazil was up by two.

Brazilians were partying on the sand at Copacabana beach and the players were shaking their hips as they danced down the tunnel as social media went crazy at the half time break.

The South Koreans did not seem to enjoy it.

Olly, a reader of the BBC Sport, said that this is absolutely destroying.

It was really bad.

And the winner is...

There was a display of Richarlison's feet.

After scoring a wonderful volley in the win over Serbia, the Spurs forward was already in a league of his own.

There is no party without a Richarlison.

He juggled the ball on his head three times, then ran on to a one-two with a teammate, and coolly scored.

We haven't seen that showboating before inNottingham.

The goal of the tournament was to win.

But stay on. Paik didn't want Brazil to have all of the fun when he hit the screamer.

At least they had their moment on a night that will be remembered for football magic.

Brazil goalkeeper Alisson pulled off several brilliant saves and was then taken out of the game in the 80th minute to a standing applause.

'It's like watching Strictly'

Brazil's players headed to their supporters after the game ended.

Bruno Guimaraes had climbed on a team-mate's shoulders to dance and shake tambourines.

Brazil was unable to please everyone. Roy said that he had never seen so much dancing. I can't believe what I'm watching.

I don't enjoy it. The people say it's their culture. I don't think that's right. The manager was getting involved after the first time. I don't like it.

There wasn't a beach party for him.

'Beautifully terrifying Brazil' - how you reacted on social media

This is great. Vinicius Jr has shown us why he is one of the best young talents in the world. The players have put on good performances so far.

Brazil looks like it's going to win the game. It's scary.

Brazil look really frightening.

Is it possible that France will play Brazil in the final?

You can imagine that Croatia will be booking flights home after the game. The Brazilians are playing against the South Koreans.

South Korea's goal at the end of the World Cup has ruined my first century in fantasy football. Thank you!
