Celebrations have their place in sports. That moment when you try hard and score a perfect goal or basket. The stadium lights up, fans are screaming your name and you jump, punching the air, or just scream ‘Siuuu’. The moment when everybody around you knows you did something important that will contribute to the win. Now, just amplify that feeling a thousand times and you will be feeling exactly how Argentinian players are feeling right now. They are on top of the world, having won the biggest tournament on the planet, the FIFA World Cup. Some just thanked god and fans, some cried, some celebrated with family, and then there was Emiliano Martinez’s way of celebrating that topped off the euphoria of winning the world cup.
