Lisandro Martinez issued an honest response on the "Anti-Argentina" campaign while denying being disrespectful to Spain during the World Cup celebrations. Argentina’s 2026 World Cup run ended without gold following a heartbreaking final loss to Spain, leaving the silver medal as a meager consolation prize. Throughout and after the tournament, the Albiceleste and its players found themselves under heavy fire from global media outlets and social media users. A week after the final, defender Lisandro Martinez pushed back against the so-called “Anti-Argentina” campaign and denied allegations that the team disrespected Spain during postgame celebrations. Four years after their storybook title run in 2022, Lionel Messi and company were cast as the villains of the 2026 edition. Critics labeled Argentina’s style of play as “dirty,” pointing to a string of heavy fouls, yellow cards, and controversial refereeing decisions. However, the online narrative quickly spiraled beyond tactics into an effort to discredit the team’s achievements, with discussions often degrading into broader slurs against Argentine culture and its people. Back in his hometown of Gualeguay, Argentina, Martinez was asked directly about the online backlash and didn’t hold back: “I have quite a few mixed feelings about it. A little bit of anger because clearly they have no basis to generate that hate. Then I also see how my teammates fight on the pitch, how the fans encourage us, how they make us feel at home, and they talk about us being arrogant, about us being this or that… maybe that speaks a bit more about the people who do those things than about us.“ Martinez sets the record straight on Spain trophy ceremony Another flashpoint in the postgame fallout involved the behavior of Argentina’s squad during Spain’s trophy ceremony. As the Spain players stood on the podium celebrating and hoisting the World Cup trophy, camera angles showed the Argentine roster standing near the sideline with their backs turned toward La Roja. Spain lifts the FIFA World Cup Winner’s Trophy while Argentina national team looks at the fans. The moment came shortly after the final whistle, which saw a viral scuffle break out between players from both sides. However, head coach Lionel Scaloni dismissed any notion of bad blood in his postgame press conference, insisting his team meant no disrespect toward the newly crowned World Cup champions. The Manchester United center back echoed his manager’s sentiments, categorically denying any intention to snub Spain. “We were always very respectful of the opponent. It was also said that after the final, we hadn’t acknowledged Spain. We greeted all the players, all the coaching staff, we were there” Martinez stated. Martínez concluded by clarifying the context behind the viral image of the team facing away from the stage after falling short of back-to-back titles: “And then obviously the image that you see where we are turning our backs is when we our people were singing to us, right? So, it was also a show of respect towards our people, staying there in the moment that we had to stay.“
Argentina completed an incredible comeback against England, with a late Lautaro Martinez goal securing their place in the final against Spain. Argentina secured a great 2-1 victory over England in the closing stages and booked their place in the 2026 World Cup final against Spain. Lautaro Martinez was the hero off the bench for Argentina, and he didn’t hold back on the emotion of the moment after the final whistle. “This is huge. I always dreamed of scoring this goal. My mom, from the day I left for Racing, never stopped making my bed. And that means more to me than a goal, than a final. I have my two kids, who have changed my life since they arrived. They made me slow down. Now I’m a man, I enjoy life,” Martinez said. The Inter Milan forward revealed he’d sensed the moment coming even before stepping onto the pitch against England. “I dreamed it, I swear, I told Alexis I was going to score a goal. I told Facu Medina on the bench that I was going to come on and win it. This team keeps showing what it’s made of,” he continued. Martinez also broke down how Argentina managed to turn the match around after going behind. “They got tired, after 60 minutes they had nothing left. They dropped back and we took advantage,” the forward concluded said.

Argentina responded with Enzo Fernandez, who leveled the score after being teed up by Lionel Messi. The game stayed level deep into the second half before Messi turned provider again, setting up Lautaro Martinez for a stoppage-time winner that completed the comeback and sent Argentina through to defend their title in the final against Spain.

Portugal’s 1-0 defeat to Spain in the 2026 World Cup Round of 16 marked the end of its campaign, but it also signaled the conclusion of an important chapter for the national team. With Cristiano Ronaldo and head coach Roberto Martinez both at the center of attention following the elimination, the result has raised major questions about what comes next, including who will guide Portugal into its next era. The World Cup exit has already triggered significant change behind the scenes. While Portugal now turns its attention toward rebuilding after another disappointing finish at a major tournament, supporters are waiting to learn who will take over the national team and whether that appointment can unlock the enormous potential of one of soccer’s most talented squads. Moments after the Selecao das Quinas’ elimination, Roberto Martinez officially confirmed that his time in charge had come to an end. The Spaniard revealed that his contract would not be renewed, bringing an end to a spell that ultimately failed to deliver the deep tournament run many had expected. Speaking after the match, Martinez said: “My era is over; now it is important to make a fresh start, and it is legitimate for the president to choose his own coach. I am grateful for all the support I received.” He echoed those sentiments in another statement, saying: “It’s the end of the cycle. It’s important to have a new voice, a new leader.” 🚨🇵🇹 BREAKING: Roberto Martinez LEAVES Portugal head coach job, it’s over. 👋🏼Portuguese Federation to appoint new head coach next. pic.twitter.com/zSdJNzTQ74— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) July 6, 2026 Who could replace Martinez? With Martinez stepping aside, Jorge Jesus has emerged as the overwhelming favorite to become Portugal’s next head coach. Reports from Italian journalist Nicolo Shira and ESPN Brasil indicate that discussions between the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) and the experienced manager have progressed positively, with negotiations being close to completion. Jesus recently left Al-Nassr, where he worked with Cristiano Ronaldo, making the potential reunion an intriguing storyline. His familiarity with the Portuguese captain and several of the country’s biggest stars could ease the transition during what promises to be a pivotal period. Cristiano Ronaldo and Jorge Jesus According to the reports, the federation had already begun preparing for a coaching change before the World Cup concluded. Martinez was reportedly expected to remain only if Portugal reached at least the semifinals, making the Round of 16 elimination decisive for his future. Why Martinez’s spell came under criticism Despite overseeing one of the most gifted player pools in international soccer, Martinez struggled to translate individual talent into consistent tournament success. Portugal reached only the Euro 2024 quarterfinals before falling in the 2026 World Cup Round of 16, results that left many believing the team had underachieved. Critics argued that Portugal lacked tactical clarity during key matches. They pointed to conservative team selections, questionable substitutions, and an inability to fully utilize stars such as Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, Rafael Leão, Vitinha, Joao Neves, Pedro Neto, João Cancelo and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Although the veteran forward’s own World Cup future remains uncertain following the heartbreaking exit, the appointment of a new manager could influence Portugal’s direction as preparations begin for upcoming competitions.
After announcing Portugal's squad for the 2026 World Cup, head coach Roberto Martinez dismissed any sort of "special treatment" towards star Cristiano Ronaldo. Cristiano Ronaldo has been confirmed in Portugal‘s official 2026 World Cup squad at 41 years of age, and head coach Roberto Martinez has moved to dismiss any talk of the legendary forward receiving preferential treatment. On Tuesday, Martinez held a press conference at the Cidade do Futebol in Oeiras to unveil a 27-player list for the upcoming tournament, the extra spot accounting for a backup goalkeeper in case of injury. The spotlight, however, fell squarely on Ronaldo, who is now set to appear at his sixth World Cup, a record he is expected to share with Argentina’s Lionel Messi and Mexico’s Guillermo Ochoa. When asked directly about managing a 41-year-old Ronaldo during the tournament, Martínez was measured and clear in his response. “The management will be handled very naturally. We already have plenty of data; we are talking about nearly 40 matches together. Ronaldo is our captain. He faces the same demands as the other players and the same competitiveness to be in the national team,” the Spanish coach said. Martínez also made a point of emphasizing Ronaldo’s value beyond his performances on the pitch. “He is an exemplary captain. He was highly important for us in winning the Nations League, and now we want that same level of responsibility and example inside the locker room,” he added. Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal lifts the UEFA Nations League trophy. It is worth noting that despite being in the twilight of his career, Cristiano Ronaldo remains the top scorer under Roberto Martinez’s watch with Portugal. Across the 38 games Martinez has overseen, the Selecao have scored 109 goals, with Ronaldo contributing 25 of them in 30 appearances, nearly a quarter of the total, having sat out eight games for various reasons. What’s next for Portugal? Martinez announced that Portugal’s World Cup training camp will begin on June 1, with all players granted at least seven days of rest before reporting for duty at the Cidade do Futebol. The PSG contingent of Nuno Mendes, Vitinha, Joao Neves and Goncalo Ramos, who are set to feature in the UEFA Champions League final against Arsenal on May 30th, will miss the start of the camp. Portugal will play two preparatory friendlies during the early June window, the first against Chile on the 6th and the second against Nigeria on the 10th, both to be held on home soil before the squad departs for North America. Drawn into Group K, Portugal will be based in Palm Beach, Florida, opening their World Cup campaign on June 17 against the Democratic Republic of Congo in Houston. They will then face debutants Uzbekistan on June 23 before closing out the group stage against Colombia on June 27.
