The World Cup is not the place for that.

No surprise there. They were punished by Spain at the finals. Let's hope FIFA takes some action on sanctioning Argentina.

Well deserved defeat.

NOT IN SPORTS IN THE USA! Un-Sportsman like conduct is not acceptable! EVER. Karma will fall.

Argentina must be stupid. In 1982, they tried an invasion. They got their arses handed to them by Britain. To come out with a banner that tells the world your military got humiliated is just stupid.😅

Ignorant...they and the rest of Argentina have no idea of history, we, Britain, were on the Falklands a long time before Argentina even existed as a country. They have never, ever, had an Argentine foot on those islands.

They want more land but needed Daddy Trump to bail them out with 40Billion?
@
Not the first time Argentina raised a banner like this....although back in Port Stanley in 1982 there wasn't any writing.
