They are truly the Scaloneta, Lionel Scalonis troops are a united bunch and when you go after one, you go after all. It was the foundation Lionel Scaloni built upon to take Argentina to a 36-game undefeated run, winners of the Copa America, and eventually winners of the FIFA World Cup.

Still every squad has their player that stands out and Aston Villa netminder Emiliano ‘El Dibu’ Martinez is that player with his showboating and trash talking in goal. That showboating has gotten a lot of former French national teamers upset the latest being former AC Milan defender Adil Rami.

Adil Rami stated that that Martinez was “the worst s$*& in world soccer” on an Instagram post, said post reached the Argentine national team and many of Martinez’s teammates came back hard on Adil Rami.
