Argentina Under FIFA Review Over Malvinas Banner After Reaching World Cup Final

Argentina's place in Sunday's World Cup final is secure, but their semi-final celebrations are now under FIFA scrutiny. The federation has opened a disciplinary review into a banner displayed by Argentina players after their 2-1 win over England.

The banner read "Las Malvinas son Argentinas," a reference to the disputed Falkland Islands. The display came moments after Enzo Fernandez and Lautaro Martinez struck late to complete Argentina's comeback over England in Atlanta.

FIFA has strict rules against political messaging inside the stadium and during official celebrations. A ruling is expected before Argentina take the field against Spain on July 19 at MetLife Stadium, where the two sides meet for the first time ever in a World Cup final.

Argentina are chasing back-to-back titles, something only Brazil have managed before. The team will be hoping the probe is resolved quickly so the build-up to the final stays focused on the football.
