Brazil set the biggest stage for the 2022 World Cup during the competition in Qatar.

 Despite not having the most graceful moves of the evening, Brazil coach Tite's gyrating on the touchline with his players while wearing a somber suit epitomized this football carnival.

Tite made an odd-looking appearance,

but he was powerless to resist joining in on a group samba as Brazil made the biggest statement of this World Cup by stunning South Korea, setting up a quarterfinal matchup against Croatia on Friday.

And what a moment it was, as Brazil created the finest football of the tournament in a 4-1 victory that had their status as World Cup favorites written all over it. Tite, 61, was moved to let it all out.

After just 29 minutes of a first half that will live long in the memory, Richarlison scored Brazil's third goal, earning him a spot on the showreel for the greatest goals scored in Qatar.

It was an amazing feat of precision passing to circle the perimeter.

The Tottenham forward passed the ball to Marquinhos after juggling it three times on his head and once with his foot.

He passed to Thiago Silva, whose first-time pass found Richarlison in the open space behind South Korea goalkeeper Kim Seung-gyu to complete the move.

A stunning fusion of individual brilliance and passing perfection, this may have even topped Richarlison's incredible bicycle kick against Serbia.

Carnival, worldies, and showboating: Brazil comes alive. Qatar

Ask Balague and McNulty about the World Cup.

Vinicius was named the best player by BBC Sport viewers.

Daily World Cup podcast: Breathtaking Brazil outclass South Korea

It was poetry in motion, much like the majority of Brazil's first-half play. It read: "Here we are. Can you prevent us?"

All of this, as well as Neymar's comeback.

Despite the injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Alex Telles, Brazil is in the best possible position going into the round of eight.

Neymar, who was making his comeback after an ankle injury, was the star of the show, but he had to share the spotlight with his attacking teammates Richarlison and Vinicius Jr.

After just seven minutes, Vinicius shown class by scoring a goal for Brazil. Neymar then added an embellishment to the penalty with his "Riverdance" footwork on his hesitant approach. He now trails Pele's all-time record of 77 by one.

Before halftime, Lucas Paqueta of West Ham United volleyed an exquisite fourth goal from Vinicius' cross, allowing Brazil to conserve energy for Croatia.

Even though they lost to Cameroon in the group stage, Brazil has been taking it easy during this World Cup. However, for the first 45 minutes, they were a dominant team operating at full strength, sending a message to their opponents about what they would need to at least match in order to win the trophy.

This was more than just a performance; it was a manifestation of Brazilian happiness. They have a football as their national symbol.

As Tite substituted third-choice Weverton to join the action, they could even give their superb goalkeeper Alisson 10 minutes off, making Brazil the first World Cup team to deploy all 26 players.

It even their seasoned coach to dance like a parent after goals, however, several onlookers questioned whether the prolonged practice made them appear disrespectful to their opponents.

On the other hand, some argue that because Brazil displayed such artistic freedom and upheld their nation's highest ideals, their joy was entirely justified.

Brazil's players were so engrossed in their own joy that they were content to accept anything as a dance partner, be it the corner flag or Tite.

Their early efforts were energized by Neymar's presence, with teammates searching for the superstar's return. He ran for 81 minutes until being replaced by Rodrygo.

Neymar's penalty kick goal made him the third Brazilian player (after 2014, 2018, and 2022) to score in at least three World Cups.

Ronaldo scored three times, in 1998, 2002, and 2006, compared to Pele's four, in 1958, 1962, 1966, and 1970.

In order to support the idea that Brazil has the most complete team in Qatar, Allison showed why he is one of the best goalkeepers in the world by making a string of excellent saves when the game slowed down in the second half.

For Croatia and anyone else they may encounter out here, it is a frightening scenario. Brazil has the offensive firepower to defeat anyone, and if you do manage to get past Liverpool's world-class goalkeeper at the other end, that offers a daunting obstacle.

Tite's team appears to be the whole shebang.

Brazil has advanced to the World Cup quarterfinals for the seventh time in a row. They played this match in honor of Pele, who is ill, and paraded a huge banner with his name after the game.

It was a moment that inspired Tite, 61, to let it all hang out as Brazil produced the best football of the tournament in a 4-1 victory that had their status as World Cup favorites stamped right through it. Pele will have appreciated the gesture and undoubtedly nodded in approval at Brazil's performance, the biggest statement by any country thus far at this World Cup.

After just 29 minutes of a first half that will live long in the memory, Richarlison scored Brazil's third goal, earning him a spot on the showreel for the greatest goals scored in Qatar.
