Roy Keane is "having the last laugh" according to fans after Brazil were knocked out of the 2022 World Cup by Croatia.
The South American giants were sent packing after losing the quarter-final in a penalty shootout.
Neymar had put Brazil ahead in extra-time of the clash that ended 0-0 in regulation time, but Bruno Petkovic equalised for Croatia to send the match to penalties.

Croatia scored all four of their penalties and when Marquinhos' spot-kick came back off the past the pre-tournament favourites were knocked out.
It's a result that might have brought a wry smile to the face of Keane who was highly critical of Brazil's dancing celebrations in their 4-1 win over South Korea in the last 16.
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."
Now fans are hilariously speculating how Keane might have reacted to Brazil being knocked out of the tournament in their very next match:
