@thirdrailsports: "I was diving like a zombie." Emiliano Martinez, on his own World Cup. His finger was so swollen he called it a blood sausage. He was crying from pain until midnight every night. He played through all of it. The injury is now permanent. He says he has zero regrets. This is what playing for your country actually costs. Martinez says the finger will never return to normal. Was playing through that injury the right call, or did Argentina's medical team fail him? #ThirdRailSports #EmilianoMartinez #Argentina Photo: BBC Sport
