FIFA Probes Argentina's Falklands Banner

FIFA is investigating Argentina's display of a Falklands sovereignty banner after their semi-final win, with the United Kingdom demanding action over the political messaging.

The White House defended the Argentine team, with Andrew Giuliani invoking First Amendment rights in the latest tension between football's laws on political messaging and free speech.

Argentina's president Javier Milei said he will not attend the final, citing superstition, while the squad reportedly still has the banner.

The row has also spilled onto the pitch, with an Argentina player's wife labelling Jude Bellingham "useless" after new footage emerged of the England star slapping Valentin Barco following the semi-final.
