Summary
A Fifa spokesperson said: “As is standard procedure, Fifa’s independent Disciplinary Committee is currently assessing the match reports and considering the relevant circumstances before deciding on potential further steps based on the Fifa Disciplinary Code.” The Argentine Football Association (AFA) was previously fined £20,000 by Fifa in 2014 after Argentina’s players held up a banner with the same message. After the final whistle, Argentina players held up a banner reading "Las Malvinas son Argentinas", which translates as "The Falklands are Argentine". Fifa will assess whether Argentina players broke rules after displaying a banner in support of their country’s claims to the Falkland Islands following their World Cup semi-final win over England .
Furthermore, Self-determination rests with the islanders and our commitment to the Falklands will never waver. A bad-tempered first half included 19 fouls and a series of contentious incidents before Anthony Gordon put England 1-0 up, only for Argentina to strike twice late on. The Falklands, a British overseas territory in the south-west Atlantic Ocean, remain the subject of a sovereignty dispute between the UK and Argentina.
In addition, Argentina fans have chanted songs referencing the islands throughout this World Cup. The governing body said the actions, which followed a friendly win over Slovenia, had breached rules on political action and team misconduct.
