FIFA ‘assessing match reports’ over Falklands banner
FIFA is "assessing match reports" before deciding whether to punish Argentina after players celebrated their World Cup semi-final win against England with a banner in support of their country's claims to the Falkland Islands.
After the final whistle, Argentina players held up a banner reading "Las Malvinas son Argentinas", which translates as "The Falklands are Argentine".
FIFA usually take disciplinary action for general breaches of regulations by players or a country's supporters in the weeks after a tournament, although this could be taken more seriously because it occurred in a World Cup match between the two countries.
