Keane had originally slammed Brazil for “disrespecting” their opponents by dancing during the last-16.
He famously blasted at the time: “It’s like watching Strictly. I can’t believe what I’m watching.
“I don’t like this. I think it’s disrespecting the opposition. It’s four [goals] and they’re doing it every time.
“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.”
Keane was criticised by members of the Brazil camp for his words, before the five-time champions and pre-tournament favourites crashed out of the tournament in the last-eight.
And the 51-year-old, who showed off a new look ahead of the final, ended up having the last laugh. More

As always, the fork-tongued and hard-to-please Irishman has been in the headlines throughout the tournament.
He became embroiled in a bitter row over DANCING with Brazil’s manager Tite.
And he showed that he still possessed some of the magic that made him one of the greatest midfielders of his generation by scoring the winner in an ITV vs BBC pundits match.

Perhaps buoyed on by that heroic moment, the 51-year-old was back out on the pitch earlier to take part in another kickabout.
This time he was lining-up alongside his fellow ITV pundits to take on their talkSPORT counterparts.
Keane and his pals tasted victory once again out in the Middle East as they ran out 10-6 victors.
But it will be his new-look that has most people talking this time rather than his robust views or antics on the field.

TalkSPORT’s Sam Ellard was in the opposition but afterwards he managed to nab himself a snap with the fiery Keano.
Judging by the early comments on the post, the icon’s new appearance appears to have slipped the radar.
However, upon closer inspection, you can see that the photo actually revealed that the ex-Nottingham Forest and Celtic ace has ditched his bushy grey beard with just two days to go before the World Cup final.
And instead he now dons a magnificent grey moustache, accompanied by a ‘soul patch’ – a small patch of hair below his lower lip.
Ellard captioned his snap with: “Today was the @itvfootball vs @talksport rematch. ITV winning 10-6.
“Ally McCoist scored SIX goals. Keane and Neville oozing class…
“Bring on the rematch in Germany.” More

ITV picked that duo to commentate on their quarter-final matches, leaving Tydelsley at a loose end.
The broadcaster did want Tydelsley to stay and work on a highlights package of the last-8 games, but he instead decided to fly home ahead of the FA Cup, which he will be covering for ITV.
Speaking about his early departure, Tydelsley told the Mirror: “I’m working for them on the FA Cup in the first week of January and I wouldn’t be doing that if there was a great deal of bitterness.
“Was I bitterly disappointed? You bet I was.

“But it’s a decision I’ve got to accept and in the grand scheme of things people don’t turn it on for the commentator, they turn it on for the football.
“I didn’t agree with the decision but I accepted it.
“I was offered a quarter-final to commentate on for highlights. It would have meant me staying on in Qatar for another four or five days to essentially commentate on 10 minutes of television post-midnight.
“I said I would be happy to do it if they couldn’t cover without me but my preference was to fly home early if possible and they said OK.”

Keane whipped off his shirt after netting past pal Micah Richards and celebrated wildly.

However, Hendo left Keane to pay the bill.

‘GAME OVER’
Neutral pundit Keane decided to take notes during England’s 3-0 round of 16 win over Senegal.
And he gave a short but accurate assessment of the game: “Game over.”
The Irishman calmly jotted down the notes as fellow pundits Neville and Wright lost their cool in the studio.

FLYING HOME
Do work colleagues get on your nerves? Well, they get on Keane’s nerves too.
So much so that Keane FLEW home from Qatar as a result.
Speaking to Micah Richards and Gary Neville over lunch for Sky Bet, Keane described his experience overall as “okay” and “fine”.
Neville then chipped in: “To be fair Roy went home for four or five days as well actually. He went back.”
Keane replied: “I had a break. I needed a break, just my tolerance levels.
“Yeah, people get on my nerves.”

BANK CARD REJECTED
Keane is undoubtedly a very wealthy man.
But he suffered embarrassment in Qatar when his bank card was rejected TWICE.
He set himself a daily spending limit to the tune of £50-a-day.
Keane explained to Neville and Richards: “I went over my limit, I have a budget of £50 a day here.
“You know when your card is rejected, it is embarrassing, isn’t it?”

SLAMMING BRAZIL’s DANCE MOVES
Flicks, tricks and loose hips… Not on Keane’s watch.
The pre-tournament favourites, Brazil, showed off their dance moves before their quarter-final exit to Croatia.
Their round of 16 clash against South Korea, in particular, saw Brazil run out 4-1 winners and execute a number of stylish celebrations.
From a team Pigeon dance with manager Tite, to West Ham’s Lucas Paqueta going solo.
Fans were excited, but Keane was far from impressed.
He said on the Samba Boys: “It’s like watching Strictly. I can’t believe what I’m watching.
“I don’t like this. I think it’s disrespecting the opposition. It’s four [goals] and they’re doing it every time.
“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.”

SOUNESS BUST UP
Keane and Souness didn’t pull any punches in their on-air verbal bust-up during ITV’s half-time coverage of Argentina vs Saudi Arabia.
The decision to award Argentina a penalty caused controversy with Keane saying soft calls will encourage diving at the World Cup – an assessment Souness disagreed with.
Liverpool great Souness says the Saudi player had no interest in where the ball was – only the whereabouts of the player he was tracking.

Souness said the call is not down to “opinion” but “fact”, which prompted Keane to respond saying: “Well I’m here to give my opinion – that’s not a penalty.”
The bust-up was much to the delight of viewers, who took to social media to rave.
