Falkland Islands Government Issues Statement After Argentina Players' Banner Display

The Falkland Islands Government condemned Argentina’s post-match banner after the World Cup semifinal win over England, saying it was “disappointed” but “not surprised.” The statement said the “Las Malvinas” message politicized a game unrelated to the islands, was insensitive after the 1982 invasion, and urged FIFA to enforce its rules by sanctioning political behavior in football.
