Alex Moss 2,166 Posted June 3, 2021 That Argentina v Chile is live on Premier Sports 1 at 01:00am GMT tomorrow morning (Friday!). Don’t know if Emi will start the game but we might see him replace Messi or whomever in the second half. A historic moment for Norwich City Football Club in a couple of hours if so! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambridgeshire canary 7,465 Posted June 3, 2021 'but we might see him replace Messi' Â You know the fact that we are talking about a Norwich player in that sentence should fill all of us with pride Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex Moss 2,166 Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) I’ll be really pleased for him, but at the same time, you just know Emi Martinez will be on full on ‘move to Villa’ mode, and that kind of pi55es me off. Not to mention I’m sure he’d be asking Messi himself for advice on how to handle his career path, and I’m fairly sure it wouldn’t be the kind of advice that would make us Norwich fans happy. I’m not usually a pessimistic type but I do feel so in this particular situation. I so hope we can keep him for one more season, but Farke and Webber would have to work all the magic if that were to happen and you’d need a wizards sleeve the size of Pamela Anderson’s for that to come off (disclaimer - not seen video, just heard about it).

Yeah, sounds like code for 'Just got on the nearest flight' Edited June 3, 2021 by cambridgeshire canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,166 Posted June 3, 2021 Just now, cambridgeshire canary said: Yeah, sounds like code for 'Just got on the nearest flight' I hate being pessimistic, Cambridgeshire, but as football fans we’ve been here before. Flying straight back to England seems crazy but at the same time I don’t think Webber will let this one drag on, it may even be at his insistence that it’s sorted pronto. Make no mistake he’ll want this solved quickly if Emi has instructed him with a desire to move on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 4,455 Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) For all of the conspiracy theorists, it was a 32-man squad and they can only name 23 on a matchday so it isn't really a massive shock that an uncapped player fails to make the squad when you consider the depth of talent they have in that position.

kick it off 2,033 Posted June 3, 2021 Yeah I don't buy him getting on a flight when he's got a chance to mix with the national team for the first time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems quite reasonable to me if he’s about to sign a life changing contract - he could still be back in time for the start of the Copa on Monday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,306 Posted June 4, 2021 Like England, probably called up a few extras to have some time training with them etc, Buendia might still feature but either way it's a good experience for him to show them what he can do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
