Super Eagles goalkeeper Francis Uzoho has opted to deactivate his social media account. The decision comes in the wake of severe criticism directed at him for subpar performances with the Super Eagles.
Critics, especially among Nigerian soccer enthusiasts, held Uzoho accountable for the team’s failure to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The Omonia Nicosia goalie faced backlash for errors, including a spillage on a shot by Thomas Partey in the 1-1 draw against Ghana’s Black Stars. Additionally, he conceded inexpensive goals in friendlies against Saudi Arabia and Mozambique. Further criticism followed after another cheap goal slipped past him in the Super Eagles’ 1-1 draw against Zimbabwe.
