UK demands FIFA probe after Argentina parade 'Malvinas are ours' banner at World Cup

Hindustan Times—Argentina players held a fan-passed banner reading 'Las Malvinas son Argentinas' after beating England 2-1 in the semifinal in Atlanta, reigniting the long-running sovereignty dispute over the Falkland Islands. Britain's Business Secretary called the display 'entirely inappropriate' and formally urged FIFA to open an investigation. The banner was passed to players by fans in the stands rather than prepared by the Argentine team. FIFA has jurisdiction to fine Argentina's federation between $5,000 and $20,000; it fined the same federation 30,000 Swiss francs for displaying the same banner at the 2014 World Cup. England coach Thomas Tuchel accepted blame for the 2-1 defeat that sent Argentina to the final.
