Lionel Messi and co came from a goal down to beat England 2-1 and book their place in the World Cup final against Spain on Sunday (July 19).
After the game, however, Giovani Lo Celso appeared on the field with a banner saying, “Las Malvinas son Argentinas,” which translates to “The Malvinas are Argentine.”
Cristian Romero and Lisandro Martinez, who both play in England for Tottenham and Man United respectively, were among the players holding the banner.
The International Football Association Board (IFAB), football’s lawmakers, and FIFA have a clear stance on political flags, slogans and symbols being displayed.
“Equipment must not have any political, religious or personal slogans, statements or images. Players must not reveal undergarments that show political, religious, personal slogans, statements or images, or advertising other than the manufacturer’s logo,” IFAB’s rulebook states.
