File: Former Super Eagles captain and coach, Sunday Oliseh
Former Super Eagles captain and coach, Sunday Oliseh, has delivered a scathing verdict on Brazil following their 2-1 defeat to Norway in the round of sixteen of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, insisting the five-time champions have lost the identity and quality that once made them one of football’s greatest teams, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
Manchester City striker, Erling Haaland, rose to the occasion when it mattered most, heading Norway into the lead in the 80th minute before doubling their advantage ten minutes later to inspire a famous victory over the Selecao at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford.
Neymar pulled one back from the penalty spot deep into stoppage time, but it proved a mere consolation as Brazil suffered their earliest World Cup exit since 1990.
The result also secured Norway’s place in the World Cup quarterfinal for the first time in the country’s history, setting up a meeting with England in Miami on July 11.
