The former Arsenal goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez has been immense for Argentina at this summers tournament and people were in awe of the Aston Vill shot stopper. The 28 year old kept more clean sheets than any other goalkeeper, becoming the first Argentina goalkeeper to win the Golden Glove since the award’s introduction. Everyone is talking about Lionel Messi and rightfully so, but you can not un-notice how good Emiliano Martinez was in this tournament, the man is now a national hero and deserves a lot of plaudits

Is this Argentine side good enough to go on and compete for the World Cup in 2022? The tournament will be held in Qatar in December 2022 and we can not wait for the tournament to get underway.
