India, June 25 -- Three minutes into first-half stoppage time, in the heat of Miami, Vinicius Jr danced. Like he had said he would in Doha because, "we Brazilians are a joyful people." The world may see more of it as Brazil get into gear. Signs of that were evident in the 3-0 win against Scotland.

For some time on Wednesday, his dance was eclipsed by some better moves in Monterrey where South Africa stunned South Korea to enter the knockout round for the first time. The first hosts in World Cup history to be eliminated in the group stage, it took South Africa 16 years to make amends and they did that with a defensive masterclass after Thapelo Maseko's 63rd minute goal in the 1-0 win.

Don't blame Hugo Broos for not wanting the tournament...
