U.K. urges FIFA to investigate Argentina over Falklands banner at World Cup

During post-match celebrations, Argentine players held a banner handed over by fans in the stands, reading 'Las Malvinas son Argentinas' – 'The Malvinas are Argentine.' Argentina refers to the Falkland Islands as Islas Malvinas. The team could face disciplinary action from governing body FIFA for violating rules banning political messaging on the field.
