Brazil Tops Group C as Romário Is Filmed Dancing in Miami

Securing Brazil's knockout seed, the result has prompted Rio de Janeiro to grant a work break ahead of the team's June 29 match.

Overview

  • Brazil beat Scotland 3–0 in Miami, which confirmed the Seleção as Group C winner and secured a seeded spot in the knockout stage.
  • Hours after the match an influencer posted a video showing senator and former striker Romário dancing on a Miami nightclub stage, and the clip quickly circulated online with mixed reactions.
  • The footage was published by Jon Vlogs and has been reposted by Romário on his channels as he continues to cover the tournament as a commentator from the United States.
  • Rio de Janeiro's state government and city hall announced ponto facultativo for public servants for the next Brazil game, while Brazilian law does not make match days automatic national holidays.
  • The result extended Brazil's run of topping its group to a 12th consecutive World Cup since 1982 and the team will next play on June 29 in Houston.
