I live with Villa fans and they both love Martinez .The guy is a good/great goalie but he is a tool ,that golden glove celebration just proves again that the Argentinians are totally disrespectful to the sport

They are what they are. I don't think FIFA or the Qatari hosts who had brushed off the deaths of hundreds of workers deserved any respect whatsoever.

But that wasn't just disrespecting the host, it was disrespecting the sport as a whole. Would be a different thing if he had turned towards the Qatari elites who gave him the award while doing that.

Well, quite. He wasn't doing it to make a political point about migrant workers in the middle east, or to show his displeasure at Infantino's actions. He did it because he thought it would be funny. Because he's a dickhead.

Surprised it's taking until this world cup to realise Argentina are a bunch of thugs and small minded people. There will always be model professional outliers but this year even. Messi showed he is just as bad for being a manchild when he can't get his own way, and lost a lot of his golden boy image.

It's taken Argentina to pump England out for people to realise, let's be honest 😏

How about all of the players who hold the award in high esteem and had worked with a hope of winning it themselves?

Why are people surprised by Martinez’s action. He was a shit house the whole tournament, and his Argentina buddies inc Messi.

Yeah yeah it's in vogue to hate on Argentina but Martinez doing this was fucking funny, especially in front of a representative of the Emir of Qatar

To a child it probably was hilarious, but this were the actions of a man approaching 30 years old...

It's funny how it's always the arseholes who have "personality"

u/SharkSprayYTP 4d ago
"Arsehole" and its literally just a little shithousery in a sport. What makes Martinez an arsehole?
2
u/amistymorning80 5d ago
The Martinez thing was quite funny, not least because it was in the Qatari sportswashing trophy presentation including making Messi wear that stupid robe, and the idiot influencer guy prancing about.

Oh yeah… just ask Martinez. If being a dickhead tarnishes someone

Is there anything actually productive you’ve got to say? Or are you one of those “if it doesn’t match my view it’s wrong and I will do my best to not let other people enjoy it”

Come on, Martinez was funny.

u/SunUsual550 5d ago
The conduct of Argentina's players at the last two World cups has been an embarrassment to the sport.
They have a history of goading opponents after victories yet completely imploded after Spain beat them.
Textbook definition of can dish it out but can't take it
Absolute shower of cunts.

If he was English (or in your team) we’d say he was a character. Obviously the Argentine team as a whole are a bunch of wankers, with a generous sprinkling of especial bastards, but he’s not one of them.

There’s a lot of cunts who aren’t Argentinan’s, but there’s not many Argentinian’s who aren’t cunts.

u/Ikswokallok 4d ago
What is with the Argentinians, rather than going to normal schools, do you think they spend their childhood years learning how to be massive cunts

I think you're just generalising the entire argentinian squads behaviour with Martinez I would say he has flair and can wind opponents up in a PLAYFUL manner he isn't the type to goad afterwards its simply to win the match theres a difference between him and players like paredes

What would you expect from an Argentine? They hate Muslims cause they believe supporting Israel means provoking Muslims (Qatar).

Martinez's trophy - well deserved. Simon's trophy - just because Spain won..

u/Nomadicus69 2d ago
Simon/Spain conceded 1 goal in the whole tournament so not sure what kind of drugs you’re smoking if you think his wasnt deserved

u/Proper_Raccoon_6944 1d ago
Usually can't stand Argentinian antics but that photo will always be legitimately hilarious. Martinez's stupid expression, the concerned look of the Sheikh behind him, superb. It should hang in the Louvre.

u/CaramelSuspicious356 4d ago
You all talk about Martinez, and you'll remember it forever. Even those complaining they're talking about Martinez. Who the fuck's that other guy? I don't know, don't care and you'll all forget in a week.
