Oliseh commends Swaziland

Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh has saluted the Sihlangu Semnikati of Swaziland despite handing the South Africans a 2-0 defeat on Tuesday.

The former African champions defeated their Swaziland counterparts 2-0 in a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier on Tuesday, but had to struggle to secure the win, as the Swazis defended in numbers.

Second half goals from Moses Simon and Efe Ambrose ensured the Super Eagles secured passage to the group stages of the qualifiers but Oliseh was still full of praise for the Swazis for their resilience."I have to salute and congratulate the Swazis," Oliseh said. "They came here with a game plan and the tactic was to sit deep and frustrate us, which they almost did.

"They were compact in the way they defended and attacked occasionally and even though they didn't win, I have to salute them and I think their coach has done a good job," Oliseh said further.

The group stages of the qualifiers will begin in 2016, when the final race to Russia 2018 officially begins.

Billy Bob Thornton Denies Sleeping With Amber Heard

The domestic violence case between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp is getting messier by the minute, and now they're dragging other people in the midst of their conflict. Depp apparently accused his wife of cheating on him with Billy Bob Thornton back in 2015, but the actor has completely denied all allegations. 'Our Brand Is Crisis' star Billy Bob Thornton has branded the suggestion that he slept with Amber Heard during the production of their latest movie 'London Fields' as 'completely false' according to reports from TMZ . The story is that he 'never socialized with Amber off set, other than a cast dinner', and adds that he had no on-set contact with her either, other than in a professional capacity.
