Emi Martinez

[eamonn]

I'm sure he's mellowed as he's gotten older... 

Yes, he's got a personal chef who takes out any aggressive ingredients now.

[Brazilian Villain]

The Irish pundits bigging up Emi by describing him as 'the best goalkeeper in the tournament'.

[kippaxvilla2]

When I see Pickford flailing around trying to play it out from the back I’m so grateful for emi and the fact we’ve always avoided Moyes’ pub football.

[Concrete Tom]

I too was worried that he would take centre stage in some way (good or bad). But in reality he had very little to do all game - a damning indictment of the feeble mentality England had once going ahead.

[Duncan Shaw]

 Did he concede from the first shot on target again?

The new laws on time-wasting preclude Emi's previous exploits.

He did have one attempted lie down late on, where he started to grab his leg, but seemed to realise...'oh, I can't do that anymore' so got back up

With a big fuck off grin on his face, the bastard.

I couldnt even be angry as we had been abject

It was already long gone by then.

I laughed when he did that, as yes we'd been terrible, and apart from everything else the tactic of smashing the ball high into the box towards not only the best keeper in the world, but the far and away the best coming off his line and claiming high balls was peak 'Stupid England'.

[Somniloquism]

It was funny how England pressed to "force Emi to play long" which led to the Argies best chance of the whole game at that point and a goal saving  tackle from Spence.

[olaftab]

Pleased that Emi is in an another World cup final. Did not have much to do last night other than the goal.

That's what I was pointing out also earlier. For all the England were the better side, and they were marginally pre subs, there was no goal threat at all. So lots of the ball, and a bit more possession but Emi didn't have to do much at all.

[frank black]

Is he still pushing for his dream move?

[SteveN]

There was a difference between Emi’s long accurate clearances and Pickford’s mainly hit and hope clearances
