FIFA faces calls to probe Argentina's Falklands banner after 2-1 win

What's next: Any FIFA disciplinary case would likely come after the tournament, with no threat to Argentina's place in the final.

Argentina could face FIFA discipline after players displayed a banner backing the country's claim to the Falkland Islands following a 2-1 World Cup semifinal win over England in Atlanta. The banner read, "Las Malvinas son Argentinas," reviving a sovereignty dispute that led to the 1982 war between Britain and Argentina. Downing Street and British Business Minister Peter Kyle urged FIFA to investigate, arguing the display breached rules barring political messages on the field. FIFA had not commented. Argentina was previously fined in 2014 over a similar banner before a friendly against Slovenia. BBC reported there is no prospect of Argentina losing its place in Sunday's final against Spain.
