He did his best to get into the heads of his opponents, but talkSPORT’s Jordan was far from impressedAdvertisementMartinez’s actions appeared to work as the midfielder missed his spot-kick, but Jordan was not best pleased with how the Argentine acted.
“Martinez’s actions, I thought it was cheating, the holding of the ball and throwing it the other way,” he told talkSPORT. “The goalkeeper’s actions, I don’t think it was gamesmanship, I don’t think it’s part of the game, I think it’s cheating.He later added: “For a referee to allow the goalkeeper to manipulate the circumstances, to heighten the pressure, to increase it, I think was one of the shortcomings in that moment in time.
Martinez saved Kingsley Coman’s penalty before Tchouameni’s miss and was booked for his antics, before Gonzalo Montiel stepped up to win it for Argentine with the deciding kick.in the changing room and back home in Buenos Aires, with Lionel Messi being one of the stars of the show once again.The football legend has finally got his hands on the coveted trophy in what is likely his last appearance at the World Cup, with Argentina now the champions of the world.
El Dibu Martínez decide tirarle la pelota a Tchouaméni al momento de tirar el penal para generarle más presión, el jugador francés termita errando el Penal.
Simon Jordan is becoming a bore!
He got away with it so he operated within the laws. That is why Argentina 🇦🇷 wins things and England never does.
I remember Tim Krul did far worse and people applauded him.
Sad for football enough cheating in football already.
He calls it cheating i call it winning.
I bet Martinez recently crowned World Cup winner playing with Messi is gutted that Simon fucking Jordan doesn’t like him 🤷♂️
Would he be saying the same thing if England won it and we were talking about Pickford here? I think not.
It was unsporting, unprofessional and further proof that the argies STILL feel they have to cheat to win stuff! Disgusting!!
Isn't cheating. But the ref should book him. Not sure why no one can accept penalties can just be missed. No one got into anyone's head. They just missed.
Oh I bet Emi Martinez is sad. Just shut up Simon.
What a load of crap
Great goalkeeping
Should have been booked immediately after he started his antics with a red card warning. Not waiting until after the kick
class from the keeper get it to the heads and it worked 👍🏻
I love Simon Jordan, and normally he’s spot on, but I wonder if the palace team he owned got to an FA Cup final which reached a penalty shoot out, whether he would have minded his keeper doing the same to win the cup for his club 🤔
I bet Martinez is gutted, the elation of winning the World Cup one day and then the very next day he finds out Simon Jordan is far from impressed with him 🙄
Of course he did. He dived off his line for 1 save and none of officials or VAR saw it how strange
He'll be gutted...
Most players taking the PK cheat, hop skip jump giving the keeper no chance, you don’t see them run round the pitch like that, should be a proper run up. So the GK has to try something fair play to him.
I’m sure EMI will sit at home every night bitterly regretting what he did - as he polishes his WC winners medal!!! Question should be why don’t our players do everything they can to win
Bet he's gutted that *checks notes*, Simon Jordon off of the radio is far from impressed 😂
Given that the odds against saving a penalty are stacked against a goalkeeper, it’s legitimate for them to try and gain an advantage to even up- but then then again I’m a former GK so I would say that.
Looks like another dinosaur spouting old opinions
Tbh, I don’t think he gives a shiz 😂🤣
Not impressed with his actions either
Should have red carded him. Now that would have been entertaining.
I’m curious, I don’t recall Simon Jordan calling out Harry McGuire for doing the very same thing at the Euro final shoot out last year. Maybe it’s not cheating if you lose the shoot out. 🤷♂️
Ah, still churning out that hackneyed formula with one of the two presenters taking a ridiculous position on something to get a rise out of the audience. Radio clickbait, nothing more. It's the reason I stopped listening years ago.
I have not listened to Talksport for whole of December and feel better for it. So much rubbish spoken everyday. All and clicks and reaction.
Then it was up to the referee to step in get spot kicks retaken and or issue red cards. He’s called a referee for a reason!
I swear British people are such moanbags. Always have to whine and cry about everything.
Shit british media
Cheating ? Jesus open your eyes, football is full of cheating ffs, every game there are Hollywood stars
he should have been sent off, for sure..
Someone should tell him the world is not like the game called “Simon says…”🤡
Its not cheating, happens often when opposition refuse to let team have the ball when they're awarded free kicks. if referee does the right thing and just books him, my guess is he wont do it again.
Simon is that guy that is happy to win the fair play award
Give me a break. As long as players can do these ridiculous stutter run ups and keepers have to keep a foot behind the line. All power to him.
If you want a gentleman’s sport go follow golf or something.
Never Goalie of the Tournement, total fix, the powers that be wanted Argentina to win World cup, pure business, aka messi, the GK couldn't even play for Wednesday 😆
Since when did anyone give a shit what Simon Jordan thinks
If airhead Jordan had the same mentality in business he wouldn't have gone bust,nearly sending Palace to the wall like his phone co.,he really has his head up his arse.
I mean just dark arts. He got the yellow, I guess some ref might give a red. The French kids just simply too inexperienced and let Martinez rent free in their head. They will get better next time, from this experience. Still can't deny Martinez is great of a pk specialist.
Suck it, Simon Jordan.
Maybe this explains England’s penalty’s history don’t rant it enough
Lol he is crying when that was just a form of dark art, what about England winning 2019 cricket world cup in totally wrong way? These englishmen just want others to follow rules in copy book way and they themselves would never do that; same applies with americans.
Imagine being this soft. Imagine not just enjoying it for what it is. The ultimate mind games, the ultimate pressure moments. Ref can intervene any time. Even for that knuckle head this is an awful take
REST!
Wonder if he’d have the same pout had an Englishman did it?
Cheated 😂 nothing wrong with it. A player missing a penalty is on them, no else. Not the manager, not another player, not a goalkeepers antics.
Dark arts. Decades later, people will remember the victors but not these antics or the losing side.
Without his antics Argentina and Messi probably don’t have a World Cup medal. Simon needs to calm down.
Win at all costs. All the best teams do it...in England we try to live by this 'nice guy' bollocks and its part of the reason we will win absolutely fuck all.
He wouldn’t like the grey wiggle then…
At the time I didn't like it , bad sportsmanship. Could you imagine if he done that against England.
Coming from a bitter man, who cares
He won the World Cup, England won the fair play trophy, maybe there's a lesson to be had.
Well he did leave his line too early on all penalties.. So yeah. Cheated!
He was booked for the 3rd spot kick....should have been the 1st. Refs need to stamp on this nonsense. He was allowed to go far....can't blame him....blame the refs!
It’s Argentina so hardly a surprise. Ref shouldn’t have allowed it but did it really cause the penalty miss…
He didn't cheat. He just didn't play nice. Mr Hoity Toity needs to calm his tits.
Cheat or no cheat at the end he is a champion
I wouldn’t call this cheating with all the garbage that goes on the pitch these days. However I would call it a tad embarrassing
It's OK he'll be back to earth with a Premier league bump soon and refs will be waiting for him hopefully
So what, most footballers try to cheat every single game not just the final. They appeal for everything, dive and feign injury, where do you want to draw the line
Making yourself a meal and eating it is so cute
Same for 2 other penaltys he moved off his line no1 said a wird any1 else they would of been retaken it was a fix for cheating argies to win it this year blood money and wearing that arab cloke tital joke
Players have the advantage especially now they are allowed to do that silly hop, jump and skip routine or waiting until the keeper moves. I’m all for shit like this.
As a villa fan I have to agree. We loved it when he played mind games with Ronaldo and Fernandes but if that had been against England the pundits would have been up in arms
Every pro footballer cheats by diving, screaming injuries then running off, trying to get players booked. Part of the game unfortunately
Doubt he broke any rules but 1) keeper should have to walk from a pre marked spot to side of goal, direct to goal line.2) referee should be the only person allowed to touch the ball once a penalty is taken.3) as soon as the pen taker steps in to the area the pen can be taken.
It may not be gamesmanship but it is game management. Think France did it on us so, what goes around👍👊😉
Simon Jordan is a bell end always has something negative 2 say FUCK UP one of the best world Cup final ever
Should have been sent off.
I do like Simon and agree mostly with his views. The last 6 or so months it feels like he's just disagreeing with the popular opinion to be controversial for the sake of it.
Ask Simon why he isn’t championing the England team winning the fair play award then… playing fair doesn’t win you games I’m afraid. Gamesmanship.
If a professional footballer is put off by someone throwing the ball away then they’ve got some things they need to work on
Refs need to take a firmer stance. Booking followed by sending off if it continues. Would soon stop it.
It’s not cheating. But it’s not very sportsman like. There is 0 pressure on keepers and it’s all on the kick taker. Keepers shouldn’t be allowed to leave their goal line, touch the ball (aside from when trying to sav) or approach the taker. Same a takers shouldn’t stutter/jump
Its the difference between winners and losers, Argentina will do anything to win...
Piss off?! Cheating?! Player taking the pen can do whatever to put the keeper off with stuttering his run up etc but a bit of mind games from the keeper is cheating?! Get in the bin 🗑
If it was Jordan Pickford would you have said the same thing Simon?
The worse thing for me is people celebrating his disrespect for anything but himself. His actions in the shootout plus doing what he did with his trophy. Way of the world nowadays sadly.
based on those standards Players cheat in every match
Not cheating..but disrespect for a young man who was on the biggest stage of his life. A moment he most likely will remember for the rest of his life.
😆
So did the Argentine player who dived to get the first penalty!
I get what Simon Jordan is meaning, on the flip side there is so much advantage in the favour of the striker that a goalkeeper has to do what he can. Would he say anything if the shoe was on the other foot?
Need to change the laws on penalty shoot outs that the referee is the only person who can touch the ball after each penalty is taken and he or she can only put the ball on the spot . If the keeper decides to interfere the goal is given.
Imo he was off his line for the 2nd pen, not that I was bothered 🤷♂️🍀
Normally agree with Simon on most things but his talking absolute bollocks here
Tears
No was not cheating always somebody moaning just shut you gob
You have good views most of the time Jordan, but stop trying to be edgy and have a day off.
cottam_anthony It’s the only way they can win
“Says Simon Jordan” **Files under irrelevant**
TalkSPORT say something controversial and everyone replies. I hate the cnts but the business model is spot on.
You can tell Simon as no idea,no wonder he failed at place
He didn’t cheat he played mind games. All for it, took his booking and won them a WC
Never played the game - so comments over “sportsmanship” Irrelevant
If that was Pickford or Ramsdale it would be “clever,” “cheeky,” and “perfectly fine”
Agreed. FIFA need to get a grip on this penalty pantomime by goalies. New rule-Keeper not allowed to leave 6yd box at any stage during proceedings, including entering/exiting pitch by that box before & after their pens. NO players allowed to retrieve ball from goal net-Lino job.
Say it again this goalkeeper would of done anything to win and it worked
You should not be shocked,Diago's hand ball,drug 's ect but win at all cost's gets you results i suppose.
Not reading this and nobody cares, he's just a hater
Look at all the villa fans who have hooked and bitten 🤣🤣🤣🎣🎣🎣
He should have been booked twice and off. Simple
He did. He should have received a red card. I've gone off Emi. Ever since we sold him, he's become arrogant. Not liking him.
like he gives a shit anyway😂😂😂
Simon as ever trying to be relevant. Me dog knows more about the game
Sjopinion10 just being jealous cuz emi was too good
Sjopinion10 snowflake alert
There's a big difference between unsporting behaviour and cheating
Gamesmanship and cheating are very different
Is Simon new to football?
It's being clever
Sadly cheating at the World Cup is all too common. Thuram was booked for a dive, Naymar has an Olympic gold for diving & then there’s this.
Agreed. He should have received two yellow cards.
So there you are. Standing 5 yds from the ball ready to take a pen. Looking at Martinez, who's already given you some verbal shite. And you think: 'He's completely barking and he saves pens for fun. I'm fucked - he's probably gonna save this. Oh well, here goes..... Bollocks'
And it worked..
very...true...off..the...line...in..every...penalty..thatt..he..saved
Apart from feet away from line when saving penalties
Well dah! It was fixed. 🙄
Isn't that what we call Dark Arts and it won then the trophy what did England win... Fair Play trophy as if that matters. I'd rather be a nuisance to my opponents if it gets the job done than be a loser and talk about sportsmanship.
He's a great keeper but he can't helps himself too cocky
Le gardien Argentin a triché, il a dévié 2 penaltys en soufflant sur le ballon.
What a load of crap; of course it's a goalkeeper's mission to mess with the opponents' heads.
Simon Jordan, soft as hell, cry more please.
Quand on perd, on trouve toutes les excuses du monde, ça fait parti du match d influencer les joueurs tout est dans le mental.
Cheated? Behave man. If the penalty taker wants to do something to put the keeper off , his more than welcome to do that too. Just like when a penalty has been scored , if the taker wanted to go up to the keeper and rub it in that he scored, no problem with that either
Cringe + Ratio
If he cheated he risked sanction from the ref- what rule did he break? Cheating would involve hiding your actions from the ref eg maradona hand of God, Emi did everything in plain sight, who cheats in plain sight and gets away with it?
France has shown some of the worst anti-football in history during their world cup games in 2018. Cry me a fkn river
I remember Mbappe's gamesmanship when Harry Kane missed that second penalty. Simon Jordan and whoever thinks Emi cheated are just sore losers
The important lesson for Southgate from this game is how Argentina took the game to France and dominated for the first 80 min
He cheated, he got booked for it. What’s Jordans problem?
Because harry Kane is trophyless
So did Di'Maria when he dived.
Every goalkeeper knows the odds are always against you, it’s the loneliest place in football, so there is no other option but to be a complete shithouse in order to make it, fair play to him
In this game you will meet different types of personalities. Emi is just one of them. Hes clever and expressive. He gets in your head and tries to psych you out. Thats just a part of the game that you have to deal with
Anyone who thinks he’s cheating hasn’t got a competitive bone in their body, win at ANY cost. Absolute loser mentality that
Anything for the win
Why do English hate Argentina so much ?
Jordan the silver spoon fed rat has cheated a living!! For knowing fuckall about fuckall. 🤷🏼♂️
Simon Jordan really is a bell end.
Get over it.
Acts the way he does to a 19 year old kid taking a pen in a World Cup final. Who subsequently misses Then has the cheek to walk round offering handshakes to the French post game. Proper classy.
Who gives a rat's bottom about what Simon Jordan thinks?🙄
Simon hasn't played football before has he. Absolute clown. Cheated 🤣🤣
Ref cheated by not booking him the first time
It is. Next story
How did he cheat? Penalty shootouts are about the goalkeepers and find ways to take the shooter off. He did nothing wrong
Imagine paying someone to come on your radio show & allowing him to broadcast such utter rubbish, blocking you off my twitter.
The dark arts is part of the game
I agree we Simon. I’m all for gamemanship, but what he did wasn’t and made him look a right prick. Should of got booked as isn’t that rule, throw ball aaay you get booked for it.
Did lloris not do the same thing? I remember seeing an Argentina player walking from the left with the ball in his hand before Martinez did it
simon is english! cry baby!! england are crap! your out! hahahahaha cry cry cry! i love it so much! to hear the english cry like little babies! thinking they are good at football
Has Simon Jordan ever had a sensible opinion?!
True tbf, he cheated by being too goddamn good, arrest him rn.
