Martinez was accused of shithouse celebrations
Emiliano Martinez went viral for his wild celebrations during a post-match interview after Argentina’s game against Colombia on Tuesday night.
Lautaro Martinez’s goal was enough to give Argentina the win – leaving Colombia in real danger of missing out on qualification for the 2022 World Cup.
Argentina, who have already qualified, relied on goalkeeper Martinez to win them the game and prevent Colombia from scoring in a seventh straight qualifier.
The result leaves the Colombians seventh in the table and four points off a play-off spot with only two games left to play. In the South American World Cup qualifiers, only four of the 10 clubs will automatically qualify, while a fifth will contend the play-offs.
After the game, the Aston Villa ‘keeper was keen to celebrate and in the background of Colombia goalkeeper, Camilo Vargas’ interview could be seen running around the pitch with the Copa America trophy.

It’s unclear if the 29-year-old was celebrating it on purpose however many believed Emiliano Martinez – who has been renowned for his shithousery in recent times – was doing so on purpose.
Many Argentinian supporters took to Reddit to express their love for Emi Martinez, praising him for his antics.
“With Martinez we have reached the peak of Argentine sh*thousery,” one supporter said.
Meanwhile another supporter said: “With Dibu Martinez we have reached the peak of Argentine shithousery.”
One user claimed that he wanted to see Argentina go all the way just to see more of Martinez’s antics. They wrote: “I want Argentina to advance every knockout round only with penalty shootouts just to see what this guy will do lol. Peak shithousery.”
