Favourite Brazil wants to keep the dancing going at the World Cup when it faces Croatia on Friday at quarterfinals with a spot in the semifinals on the line in Qatar.

The Brazilians have made it clear they will not back from their goal despite criticism by some, reports AP.

Tite himself was dancing with his players after Brazil scored in the 4-1 win against South Korea in the round of 16 on Monday.

Former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane was among those criticizing the Brazilians for their dancing.

Brazil forward Vinícius Júnior also promised more dancing if Brazil keeps succeeding.

“The goal is the most important moment in soccer, not only for those who score them but for the entire country,” said Vinícius Júnior, who had already been criticized for his dances while with Real Madrid. “We still have many celebrations left, and hopefully we can keep scoring and dancing like this until the final.”

Brazilian players had said before the tournament started that they had several goal celebrations prepared ahead of time.

To keep dancing, though, Brazil will have to get past a tough Croatia side that is led by Luka Modric and trying to return to the World Cup final four years after falling short of the title against France.
