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. MESSI SENDS IT INTO TO LAUTARO MARTÍNEZ AND ARGENTINA TAKES THE LEAD IN STOPPAGE TIME 🇦🇷WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT?! 🤯 pic.twitter.com/6JqVAiIL9D— FOX Sports (@FOXSports) July 15, 2026 How Argentina completed the comeback England broke the deadlock in the 55th minute through Anthony Gordon, who volleyed home a long cross from Morgan Rogers to put Thomas Tuchel’s side in front at Atlanta Stadium. 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.
Argentina faces Honduras in a pre-World Cup friendly at Kyle Field tonight, but starting goalkeeper Emiliano "Dibu" Martinez will not be in uniform for the match. Argentina‘s superstar goalkeeper Emiliano “Dibu” Martinez will sit out tonight’s pre-World Cup friendly against Honduras at Kyle Field as he continues to recover from a fractured ring finger on his right hand. The Aston Villa goalkeeper originally suffered the injury during warm-ups for the UEFA Europa League final against Freiburg, though he miraculously played through the fracture to help his club secure a 3-0 victory and the European trophy. Following subsequent medical evaluations, Martinez immediately entered a specialized rehabilitation program, completely ruling him out of action for Argentina’s two-match warm-up slate. Speaking at his pre-match press conference, manager Lionel Scaloni confirmed that Juan Musso will get the starting nod in goal tonight against Honduras, while Geronimo Rulli is scheduled to start between the posts for their next friendly against Iceland on June 9. All good 👍 pic.twitter.com/90Yw5ZmTGo— Selección Argentina in English (@AFASeleccionEN) June 6, 2026 Scaloni also refused to rule out the possibility of giving some playing time to Santiago Beltran. The River Plate youngster traveled with the senior delegation as a developmental fourth goalkeeper and could see minutes off the bench either tonight or in the upcoming match against Iceland. Martinez isn’t the only fitness concern for Scaloni Argentina is navigating a tricky injury landscape just days away from their official 2026 World Cup group opener against Algeria on June 16. In addition to Martinez, several names—including Leandro Paredes, Gonzalo Montiel, Nahuel Molina, Nico Paz, Julian Alvarez, Cristian Romero, and captain Lionel Messi—have been managing varying degrees of physical discomfort. While a few individuals have entered the final stages of rehabilitation and recently rejoined full squad training, others continue to work on isolated, individual programs to ensure they hit peak physical condition by the time the tournament kicks off in North America. Amid these lingering fitness concerns, the Argentine manager was brutally honest with reporters, warning his players that anyone who isn’t performing at 100% physical capacity risks being cut from the final 26-man World Cup roster. “Could it happen? Absolutely,” Scaloni warned regarding potential last-minute changes to his final squad list. “We are entirely clear on the fact that if a player is not physically right, they will be left out. We have no doubts about that“.
With the club preparing for a new campaign and searching for a replacement for Jorge Jesus, attention has turned toward another important question: whether one of the team’s most influential defenders would remain part of the project. For much of the season, Cristiano Ronaldo and Inigo Martinez played central roles in Al-Nassr’s march to the Saudi Pro League title. Now, with the club preparing for a new campaign and searching for a replacement for Jorge Jesus, attention has turned toward another important question: whether one of the team’s most influential defenders would remain part of the project. The uncertainty surrounding Martinez’s future generated considerable discussion in recent weeks. His contract situation, combined with interest from abroad and speculation about a possible return to Spain, left supporters wondering whether the experienced center-back would continue in Riyadh. Martinez arrived at Al-Nassr last summer after leaving Barcelona and wasted little time establishing himself as a key figure in the squad. His experience at the highest level of European football helped him adapt quickly to Saudi Arabia and become one of the first names on the team sheet. Throughout the campaign, the Spaniard played a crucial role in a defense that provided the foundation for the club’s title-winning season. He made 43 appearances across all competitions, started 42 matches, and accumulated an impressive 3,717 minutes of playing time. Inigo Martinez of Al Nassr celebrates with the Saudi Pro League Trophy His contribution extended beyond defending. Martinez also scored goals at important moments and delivered the kind of leadership that helped stabilize the team during crucial stretches of the season. Martinez’s future finally resolved For months, reports indicated that Al-Nassr was eager to activate the extension option included in Martinez’s original contract. The clause would allow the club to keep him for another season if certain conditions were met. Those conditions were comfortably achieved, as Martinez featured in well over the required percentage of matches. Discussions then shifted toward whether the player himself wanted to continue his adventure in the Saudi Pro League. The answer has now emerged. Martinez has confirmed that he will remain at Al-Nassr for another season, extending his stay until the summer of 2027. The decision brings stability to the club’s defensive plans at a time when several other positions could experience change. Inigo Martinez of Al Nassr celebrates after scoring What did Inigo Martinez say about his future? The veteran defender admitted in a recent interview that the move to Saudi Arabia initially came with uncertainty. Relocating to a new country and culture presented challenges for both him and his family. “I signed a one-year contract with an option to extend for a second year, depending on my situation and my family’s situation, because we were moving to a completely different country.” The Spaniard explained that the adjustment period was not always easy. However, as the season progressed, his perspective gradually changed. “I was concerned about how we would adapt, and it was difficult at first. But in the end, after seeing how the year went, we decided to stay for another year.”
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.
