Former Super Eagles captain and coach Sunday Oliseh has made headlines with his criticism of current Nigeria boss Eric Chelle. Oliseh, speaking to Supersport, declared himself “not a fan” of the Malian’s appointment, saying, “Nigerians are not allowed to coach outside their shores. The only job that is the most prized one, leave it for the people to handle; that's my opinion. “I feel it is a sign of disrespect to the coaches and people of Nigeria.

So, Eric Sekou Chelle, eh? After half a year of infuriating indecisiveness, Nigeria’s senior men’s national team finally has a substantive head coach in the saddle, and he is Malian. His bronze dome is also entirely free of follicles but, in today’s managerial climate, that seems almost par for the course. We shall not excoriate him on that account. Not when there is plenty with which to beat both him as a choice and the manner of his appointment. Perhaps it is best to lead with the positive.

In the end, considering minister of sports John Owan Enoh had, in tasking them with cutting coat according to cloth, left them with a smaller pool than initially hoped, the 53-year-old was close to the best choice available.

In almost every context, a Nigeria win over Ghana is a big deal; irrespective of a number of caveats, Friday’s was no different. The Black Stars were reduced to 10 men early in the second half, an odd decision given it was a friendly (in as much as any meeting between these two can be termed as such), and both sides were helmed by different coaches than oversaw their most recent previous outings.

Plotting. Never been my style. Always been more of a flow writer. Talk about learning left-handedness in old age...

That is precisely what that high line everyone likes to clown is for...

Barca’s intensity is so crazy. They need to test these players this isn’t normal
