The problem here is that Emi is south american. When Tim Krul did it, everyone said he was smart even though he was harassing Brian Ruiz. When Redmayne did his thing to Peru, again, no one complaint.

Goalkeepers got carded before for deliberate unsportsmanlike conduct in a penalty shootout so it's nothing new, jumping around the goal line like Redmayne did or throwing away the water bottles with the instructions is still allowed.

It was a mutual agreement between Arsenal and Martinez to let him go for more play time.

I loved the video, and couldn't agree more with you. I'm a Colombian and most people around me hate Dibu due to last Copa América semifinals. We're up to play them again this Sunday. I find that hatred coming from double standards and frustration, more than the alleged "sportmanship", and hence I feel they're hypocritical, even if unknowingly. When there's no player in the world that fakes a fault or wastes time at the end of a crucial match or provokes the opponent in uncountable ways during the whole match like Uruguayans did Colombians in the semifinals just this week, then tell me Martinez lacks sportmanship, but up to now dirty play has been essential in football and every single player has resorted to it during their career. Even ultradefensive lineups against perceived better teams tend to dirty matches, make them slow and unplayable, usually ending in fights. There are teams that make "tactical" faults the whole game to decrease the opponent's rythm of play, and that's not lack of sportmanship? Naaaaah, that's "strategy". Bollocks. Then there's a keeper who's an absolute master at mind games, and, lo and behold! He lacks sportmanship. To me that sounds like hipocrisy and envy, because he's just waaaaaaaay better than everyone at it. And your'e also right in that, once the games end and in interviews, he's a smart, beautiful, sensitive guy. He knows it's part of the game, and that's it. I personally love and admire Dibu, and have a great time everytime I see him play. And that will not change if he beats my national team in a penalty shootout this Sunday.

Argentinian teams tend to have great GK and some of them amazing penalty savers (Romero, Abbondanzieri, Goycochea). But what Martínez do goes beyond just saving a penalty.

This guy has not only restored Argentina's old glory in International Tournaments but gave Football one of the things is lacking nowadays: Epic Situations.

Hola. Soy de Mar del Plata, la ciudad del Dibu Martínez. Argentina tuvo un gran atajador de penales, Sergio Goycochea (sobre todo en la Copa Mundial de Italia en 1990), pero hasta el mismísimo Goyco reconoció que Dibu está en otro nivel. Simplemente está totalmente loco. Pero con una locura hermosa. Se merece pasar el buen momento por el que está pasando. Es un crack en el arco y lo vamos a extrañar mucho cuando se retire, aunque por suerte seguramente sea en bastantes años por la longevidad en la actividad que tienen los arqueros. Si fuera por nosotros, que Dibu se quede por toda la eternidad en el arco, hasta en silla de ruedas. Lo que creo que le hace marcar la diferencia es que no solo pasó por un momento difícil y logró superarse, sino que además es un excelente profesional como futbolista más allá de su locura hermosa. Gracias por este video. ¡Vamos Argentina, carajo!

7.32 meters wide by 2,44 meters high, total 17.9 sqm. This is a football goal size. An average goalkeeper size 1.8 m by 0.6 m, with arms extended 2.2 m by 0.6 m; total 1.3 sqm. So, a goalkeeper covers only 7.3% of the total goal surface exposed to a penalty shot. With these figures one may think that professional strikers missing a penalty shot is unbelievable, however, psychological pressure does the job and Dibu adds more fuel to the burning strikers' braincells badly needing to beat him. This is art.

This video just tells his story in such a way that someone who literally used to consider this person an asshole for his antics can't help but somewhat agree to his methods, it did get his team results and he didn't even break any pre-existing rules to get those results too, football in general is all tilted towards glorifying the goalscorers,hence no player since Yashin has ever won the Ballon D'or, but, that's a different story altogether,A goalscorer can miss 10 chances and score a crucial goal to become the hero, but a goalkeeper can make 100s of crucial saves but 1 mistake somehow dooms their career in some cases (for e.g Karius) granted he was never one of the best or anywhere near consideration for that, but as a Liverpool fan myself even though the loss of 2018 was painful, it is just sad that one game costed him his career and all that followed, its high time the playing field is made a little more even, although his mockery of Mbappe during Argentina celebration was a little overboard and distasteful and that's one aspect perhaps he could mend,but, you can't forget how Mbappe literally insulted the entire south american contingent before the 2022 World cup, so that's a very thin line to tread on

Shithouse behaviour is just a football thing, the sport is filled with insufferable clowns, so there should be no complaint about Martinez weaponizing average football behaviour to better keep his goal and get the world cup. As for Mbappe, the guy is a shitstain in football history, I haven't heard of a single player who has dealt with him who has a positive opinion of him. On top of that he actively picked a fight with Martinez' country before the world cup started. So in my opinion, he got off easy, Martinez had every right to insult him harder. Strange how when someone like Mbappe displays clear racism and xenophobia he doesn't get any sort of fine or unsporstmanslike behaviour suspension, but when a white player does it they get blacklisted, isn't it?

Only covering Martinez's proficiency in penalties is selling him short. He is an incredible al around goalkeeper and leader in general.

I saw Messi being criticized by not being able to win anything with the team while it was obvious that he was doing his absolute best. I remember very distinctly being on a bus on july 10th, 2021 and saying to a friend that Dibu was incredible against Colombia in penalties and that the only similar miracle i could think of was Goycochea. An old man next to me said "Yes, i think it was even better. He's gonna bring us glory". Dibu said many times that he promised Messi the world cup, and he delivered. Now he promised Angel Di Maria a last dance. I hope he gets it too 🥹
