This crazy guy helped Argentina win 3 titles just in the 18 months he has been with the national team. Meet Emiliano Martinez the King of Mind Games and Penalties.

Dibu is currently one of the best goalkeepers in the world.

I don’t care what he does from this point on, he WILL be remembered as the Goalie that got Messi his World Cup. At the end of the day, this Goalie saved the day and I hope people will remember that.

Martinez is the only keeper that can make a striker feel like they are the one at a disadvantage when shooting a pen.

Not only has great distribution, commands his box and can save almost any shot but a penalty specialist. This guy is easily one of the best. Arsenal fans were annoyed he left but happy the WORLD has realized how good he is.

The French press have emphasised their dislike of Martinez, with French outlet TF1 labelling him ‘the most hated Argentine’.

Paulo Dybala has revealed that Emiliano Martinez gave him crucial penalty advice in Argentina’s World Cup final shootout win over France.

Speaking to fans during Argentina’s World Cup trophy homecoming in Buenos Aires, Dybala said: “I had to try to be as cool-headed as possible. It is not easy because you don’t play a World Cup final every day.

It took me a long time to walk to the ball. It couldn’t have been longer. I had spoken with Dibu [Martinez]. He had advised me to shoot down the middle after they had missed.

They always dive. I was going to go for the side, the goalkeeper dove to that side, but I heard what my colleague said. I changed at the last minute. I listened to Dibu (Martinez) because they had made a mistake before me and he told me to go down the middle, shoot there and it was a goal.”

Why Is Emiliano Martínez Hated So Much?

Emiliano Martinez is that guy with the character whom you’d love if he’s playing for your team but absolutely hate if he’s against you. Without forgetting he’s also one of the best things that have happened to Argentina in the last few years, a beast of a goalkeeper who mastered penalty shootouts and has insane reflexes as well.

Emi Martinez is at his peak, and while is considered one of the best Goalkeepers in the world, he has earned more haters than any other footballer in the world. Join us as we discover why Dibu has so many fans waiting for him to fall!

His rise in 3 years is unbelievable, Leno’s injury really was the turning point of Martinez’s career. People must acknowledge his hardwork in rising to this level.

Diego Jauregui said: “I’m a Latino and I don’t hate him. Even though I was rooting for Mexico I will always be happy for him that he helped Messi and his team finally win a World Cup”

Man, He is on another level.. He should not be hated as he is just playing mind games and not cheating. It’s part of the game. RESPECT him for winning the World cup with Argentina.

Is Emiliano Martinez married?

Yes, Emi Martínez has been married to Amanda “Mandinha” (née Gama) since 2017. The couple have a son, Santi, and a daughter, Ava. On 22 December 2022, after winning the 2022 FIFA World Cup with the national team, Emiliano Martínez was given a massive welcome reception at Las Toscas resort, in his native city of Mar del Plata.

Why do soccer players walk in with children? And Why Are Footballers Escorted By Kids In A Football Match?

Football is without doubt the most popular sport in the world. Hundreds of thousands play it and hundreds of millions watch it all over the world. Be it barefooted, futsal or association football, there seems to always be a crowd available to watch and enjoy the beautiful game. With the passage of time, football organizations have begun to acknowledge fans and viewers as a massive part of the sport.

The “Saying Yes For Children” campaign gave kids a prime role in the FIFA World Cup stage by accompanying each player onto the field. Symbolically, the children on the field were “reminding football enthusiasts that they have a major role to play in building a world fit for children,” the 2002 release stated.

A reason is that spectators used to throw bottles at clubs they don’t like but when kids came out they all stopped

As a matter of fact, about 80 percent of football’s biggest changes in the past 50 years have been made solely to accommodate and entice fans – new stadium designs, new grass patterns, sale of paraphernalia, mandatory press conferences, you name it.

Player escort (also called match mascot or child mascot (plural is mascot children) is a child who accompanies a football player entering the pitch. Player escorts hold hands with the footballer while they walk in and stay with the player during the playing of the national anthem.

The children are usually between 6 and 18 years old. In addition to assisting players, they often have duties such as carrying flags, helping the sideline ball crew and playing matches with each other.

Why are there kids at the start of a football match?

The kids are mascots that come from local schools or youth teams or supporters clubs, it’s an old tradition that has been going on for as long as I can remember.. Most probably those kids are players in the youth club.

The game has evolved so much; and on the highest level, it is almost as if match days are not just about 22 players chasing one ball. One particular change that has caught our eyes is the introduction of children who accompany players to the pitch before kickoff.

Anytime players come out of the tunnel holding the hands of young children, the match seems a little grander and the fans cheer a little louder. But did you know this has been happening as far back as the 90s?

Children have appeared with football players at least since the 1990s either as one mascot for each team or one for every player. These children typically get chosen when they play little leagues and perform outstanding jobs.

The UEFA Euro 2000 was one of the first major events where player escorts appeared with every footballer, replacing the previous practice where the players on the team linked arms with each other.

In club games children are usually members of youth teams or contest winners. Since 2002, World Cup or European Championship escorts have been selected in a competition hosted by McDonald’s, sponsor of the event.

Being a child mascot may or may not be free. Among FA Premier League clubs, some may charge £350-£600 depending on the fixture while others offer some free places through competitions and charities, and other clubs do not have a charge at all.

On some occasions, there can be special escorts. For example, Ajax Amsterdam players walked out with their mothers on Mother’s Day and São Paulo FC players walked out with dogs to raise awareness to the stray dogs problem.

Some famous players like Wayne Rooney used to be player escorts in their childhood.

I’ve always thought it looks a bit cheesy, you know, players holding hands with someone else’s kid. I certainly didn’t know that parents had to pay the clubs. I discovered that the concept of escorts developed to stop fans throwing bottles at the players when they walked out of the footy tunnel.

In Austria, it is common that kids who play for smaller local teams get the chance to escort footballers without any profit in the mind of the big clubs. One kid brother for example escorted a player from the club Sk Sturm Graz.

Bigger clubs in Austria work together with smaller clubs around the area and obviously also scout the young kids. It is also pretty common that the bigger clubs in Austria also play some friendly games with local unknown clubs just to warm up for the next season. That’s I guess the good part about Austrian football. The clubs still care about their region.

Imagine scoring a hatrick in a World Cup final, and scoring your penalty in the shootout, but still losing. PSG Striker Kylian Mbappe is Still Heartbroken Over France World Cup Final Defeat to Argentina

Oh My Goal reports: “Kylian Mbappe was understandably dejected after France’s World Cup final defeat to Argentina. The PSG star looked despondent as the French side celebrated their achievements back in France.”.

This man is living proof that life sucks and can work against you. Even with his amazing achievements, his team did not win trophy in Qatar.

I hope Mbappe is doing fine. He has time to win another world cup.Scoring a hat trick in a world cup final is phenomenal for a young man. He has a bright future ahead of him in my opinion.

Despite scoring a hat-trick and finishing as top scorer, the French star could not win his second World Cup after the defeat to Argentina through the penalties.

This defeat will not diminish his achievements. Reaching 2 world cup finals and winning one of them at such a young age is already a monumental achievement.

He’s a young guy. He’s still emotional. He still has much life to live and experiences to have. He is growing and maturing. Eventually he will be a proud confident man, no matter what the circumstances.

Messi put Argentina on the lead again, but Mbappé answered with the 3-3 once more.

Mbappé was also in charge of scoring France’s first penalty in the shootout. And he didn’t fail, again. None of that could prevent, however, that December 18, 2022, was the saddest night for Kylian Mbappé.

This WC for the Argentines was epic . Whenever they scored first, it was a sure sign Argentina was gonna win the Cup. But what’s also interesting was the amount of goals scored against Argentina from 1978 (3-1) against the Dutch, 1986 (3-2) against the Germans and now 2022 (3-3) against the French.

Could we see in the near future a 4-4 final thriller Argentina and whoever in a Final?

Mbappe must appreciate that even without the world cup in his hands this term, he is still a winner! Congrats to Argentina.

Mbappe shouldn’t be too disappointed. He’s already won a WC and scored in the final in that & in this final scored a Hattrick. Ok he didn’t win but he did his part and has a phenomenal career already. It was just Messi’s time on this occasion.

France legend Mbappe left Qatar with the Golden Boot trophy as the tournament’s top scorer with eight goals. He’s quickly closing in on Pele’s 12 career World Cup goals – and he’s still only in his mid twenties.

Mbappe Still Heartbroken Over France World Cup Final Defeat to Argentina.

Kylian couldn’t quite match the Brazil great’s back-to-back World Cup titles — both players were teenagers when they won their first one, Pele in 1958 and Mbappe in 2018.

Mbappe tried to set the tone in the penalty shootout, taking responsibility for the first kick. He converted the penalty but France ended up losing 4-2. 

Messi did the same for Argentina to start the shootout, but his teammates all scored their penalties.

After the shootout, Mbappe made sure he was the first to console Kingsley Coman and Aurelien Tchouameni after their slow walks back from the spot following their failure to score.

Mbappe stood bent over in the center circle, hands on his knees, as Argentina defender Gonzalo Montiel prepared to take the decisive kick. He then squatted, saw the net ripple and walked away alone amid the Argentina celebrations.

France coach Didier Deschamps came over to console him, but Mbappe went to the team dugout and sat slumped in a chair with his dark blue shirt pulled over his face to hide his emotions.
