I'm trying to find the story about the Egyptian coach bringing out the Palestine flag...Regardless the England V Argentina game there is also politics but it won't happen again. It's just an English v Argentinian thing, not more than that.
Here from Argentina, we are not a dangerous people, we dont have a strong army or political party, we love football and we took this chance to show the world what we are. A lot of people hate us because the way we are, im sorry for that, but its our argentine nature and way to live this life on this crazy world, we could be arrogant and noisy but we are not bad or conflictive people, we have our way to fight against the big elites, its not the euro way, its not the asian way, its our soft argentine power, sorry but this are the small things we can do ❤ to Australia
I wonder what kind of sanctions FIFA will impose. I doubt it will carry much weight. Just follow the money. Serbia when still Jugoslavia, they were getting sanctioned left and right, but not many people cared, they don't draw money like Brazil or Argentina.
As for the Falklands, I hear the residents don't want anything to do with Argentina. Why won't a journalist go down there and take a survey? For the right price, I'll go and be as comprehensive as possible.
On one hand I can see the argument of keeping politics out of the WC.
But at the same time it was great hearing the English fans chanting "Kier Starmer is a wanker!".
A great way for them to make their voices and opinions heard (literally) since most of the establishment media won't do it or will try to downplay it to a small fringe minority opinion.
At a world cup where a host president suggests one of their home players have a red card overturned and FIFA comply? Let's get real it's all about money.
funny that isnt it, they were all for politics when they were forcing players to bend the knee for an american drug dealer

I agree with you, Theo. It was a mistake, but we shouldn't let one lapse in judgment overshadow their talent on the pitch.

Easy there, John! They might have stumbled here, but you can't count them out of the game just yet.
