Oliseh Critiques Brazil After World Cup Defeat to Norway
Sunday Oliseh, the former head coach of the Super Eagles, criticized Brazil's performance after their 2-1 defeat to Norway in the Round of 16 of the FIFA World Cup 2026. The match took place at a stadium in New York, New Jersey, where Norway's Erling Haaland scored twice, leading his team to the quarter-finals.
Brazil's Neymar managed to score a penalty in stoppage time, which served only as a consolation. Oliseh expressed his disappointment in Brazil's display, stating that Carlo Ancelotti's side failed to perform to the standards expected of a team with Brazil's pedigree.
He noted that Haaland's second goal was indicative of Brazil's overall lack of tactical shape and body language, suggesting that the team was "completely gone" and played "ordinary" football. This defeat marked a significant upset for the five-time world champions in the tournament.
