Republican debate: Marco Rubio finds his fire

Image
Houston (CNN)Marco Rubio was on fire Thursday night. For months, the Florida senator resisted taking on Republican front-runner and expert attack dog Donald Trump, much to the chagrin of the GOP establishment. That reluctance evaporated during the final GOP presidential debate before Super Tuesday. Standing to the right of Trump, Rubio delivered one blow after another at the billionaire businessman, attacking him on everything from immigration to foreign policy and health care to the businessman's hiring practices. And to Trump's left, Ted Cruz delighted in joining in the pile-on. In the middle of a debate filled with fireworks and filled with barely audible exchanges in which the three candidates furiously talked over one another, Trump pointed to the two men flanking him and lashed out: "This guy is a choke artist," he said, turning to Rubio, "and this guy's a liar," he said of Cruz.

The former Nigerian International announced his decision to end his increasingly controversial tenure on Twitter early this morning. He attributed the decision to lack of support and contract violations by the Nigerian Football Federation. The 41-year-old, who was appointed as the Super Eagles Head Coach in July 2015, has had a tough time leading the National team with a poor run of results recently. He had recently had to apologise to the NFF and Nigerians after posting a video in which he attacked his critics. Earlier in his tenure he had fallen out with former Super Eagles goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama, leading to the latter’s decision to quit the team. Oliseh noted that he was, however, grateful for the opportunity to lead the Super Eagles.
