Former Nigeria manager Sunday Oliseh has condemned the conduct of Argentina’s team, describing their actions as a negative representation of the sport following their 1-0 World Cup final defeat to Spain. Oliseh expressed strong disapproval regarding a post-match altercation in New Jersey between the two squads.
Reports indicate that hostilities erupted immediately after the final whistle. Video evidence captured Argentina’s Leandro Paredes and Nahuel Molina engaging physically with Spain’s Eric García and Rodri. Furthermore, Argentina assistant coach Roberto Ayala was observed striking Spanish midfielder Dani Olmo.
Discussing these events on his show, Sunday Oliseh Global Football Insights, the former Juventus star argued that Argentina’s approach on the pitch was detrimental to the game. He stated that Spain’s victory was a positive outcome for football, contrasting their style with the negative tactics employed by the Argentine side. Oliseh emphasized that the post-match fighting was unacceptable, asserting that resorting to physical confrontations after a championship match serves as a poor advertisement for international football.
