Roy Keane has refused to backtrack on comments he made calling Brazil's players and manager "disrespectful" over their dancing celebrations against South Korea.
The Manchester United legend's comments have not gone down well within the World Cup favourites squad or back in the South American country.
Speaking on ITV on Monday night, Keane said: “I don’t mind the first kind of little jig – whatever they’re doing – but they’re still doing it after that, and then the manager getting involved with it.

“I’m not happy with it, I don’t think it’s very good at all.”
Brazil boss Tite hit back at Keane over the comments ahead of his side's quarter-final clash with Croatia, saying: “I am very sorry but I will not make comment on those who do not know Brazilian history or Brazilian culture, the way each and every one of us is.
“To those, I leave that noise aside. I want my connection to be to my job, to the people who I relate to, to those who relate to my work. They know how much I respect the Brazilian history.
“Those are the ones I give my heart to. I respect the culture.
“Who knows how many more kids will dance, because that is what is in the culture when a goal is scored.
“It is not being disrespectful to anyone else, that is how we do things, that is us. This may also help the education of young kids back in school and we will continue doing things in our manner.”
But Keane has refused to back down on the comments and reiterated that he feels the celebrations were over the top and Brazil shouldn't have danced the way they did.
When asked by Micah Richards in a Sky Bet World Cup video if he thought Brazil were disrespectful, Keane replied: "100%. I love watching Brazil, I love what they stand for, you think of the World Cup, you think of Brazil. I watched them in 1982 and loved everything about them.
"I love watching them because they're brilliant at football, not when they start dancing ten minutes after a goal's gone in or their manager starts dancing. Do you think it's okay? Really?
"You talk about the game, you talk about respect, respecting your teammates, respecting the opposition. A manager done a dance on the sideline. Are you telling me it's okay?
"Every country's got a culture. Why do you think it's okay for a manager to dance? I've never seen a manager from Brazil dancing ever.
"I love what the Brazilians do, love watching them, the football [they played] in the first half was fantastic but that's my opinion. I'm entitled to it. If you think it's okay then that's fine. You're obviously wrong. I don't get it.
"He's got an opposition manager ten yards from him and you have to watch that. The game is about respect as well."
