Emi Martinez on his viral photo at the World Cup: ""I should have not really done it. That's the only thing I'm not proud of."

Those pictures are a bit ruined for me by Di Maria confessing that Messi was holding a fake trophy while he had the real World Cup trophy. He'd noticed 2 FIFA people following close behind him and asked them why, they told him he was holding the authentic up, so Messi was carrying the fake one that the players had procured from a friend of Paredes who'd brought a replica - it looked so real that the players wanted to take photos with it. Messi ended up parading the fake cup instead of the real one.
