If part of the appeal of the World Cup is its ability to reconnect us to our inner ten-year-old, then we can only wonder what ten-year-old Roy Keane might have been like.
Roy Keane’s irritation at Brazil dancing caused an angry reaction in their media, and the upshot is a bunch of old men shouting at each other about respect. The most surprising aspect of hison the subject of Brazilian dancing after each goal was the revelation that he watches Strictly Come Dancing. You’d have thought his interests might lie elsewhere; One Man and His Dog, perhaps, or a documentary on the history of punching walls.
Keane’s comments have sparked a near-inevitable response in the Brazilian media, with Botafogo coach Luis Castro telling the broadcaster Globo that, “Roy Keane doesn’t understand the culture of Brazilian football. He doesn’t understand the Brazilian team. So, he speaks in an inelegant way due to what happened today.” And, when asked about it in the post-match press conference, Brazilian head coach Tite said, “There are people who are evil who will say that was disrespectful.
And that’s kind of the problem with all these 50-plus angry men, isn’t it? They’re full of rage, and while that rage usually has a clearly defined target, the moment you push back against their spluttering outrage you find that there isn’t much substance behind it at all.
