Argentina face action after waving Falklands banner

Argentina face the prospect of disciplinary action from Fifa after their players celebrated the World Cup semi-final win against England with a banner in support of their country's claims to the Falkland Islands...

...Argentina players also sang chants which referenced the Falklands and Argentina greats Diego Maradona...

Beyond a shadow of a doubt, Christopher Hitchens, Sir Bernard Ingham. Sir Winston Churchill and Lady Thatcher are grinding their teeth in Hell.

As long as Milei handed the islands straight over to the blob as part of some 'energy security' pact, im sure thatcher and all would be happy enough.
This seems a more likely outcome than Argentinians seeing any benefit.
In an era of spectucular anti-empire blows this looks like a damp squib.
