The supporter, identifying himself only as Santiago, said he used his hotel bedsheets and a £7 pot of black paint to make the sign, which sparked a diplomatic row between London and Buenos Aires. Downing Street issued a ‘hands off’ warning, with the prime minister’s spokeswoman saying: ‘The World Cup might not be ours, but the Falkland Islands definitely are.’ Ahead of the World Cup final between Argentina and Spain on Sunday, she said: ‘The PM wishes both teams well for the final, especially Spain.’ Argentina’s defender Nicolas Otamendi (left)
