Oliseh Talks Up Haaland And Norway
Oliseh was unimpressed with Brazil’s display and criticised the team’s performance in his post-match assessment.
“Erling Haaland’s second goal tells you everything you need to know. Look at the tactical shape, look at the body language—The Brazil we used to know, is completely gone. This Brazil side is sadly and completely playing “ordinary”. Bravo Norway. This world cup continues to amaze!”Oliseh wrote on X.
