Argentina are set to face disciplinary action after their players held up a banner about the Falkland Islands after their World Cup semi-final win over England.

Article 34.3 of the tournament’s rules prohibits the display of any political messages or slogans by players before, during or after a match, yet members of Argentina’s squad held up a banner which read ‘Las Malvinas son Argentinas’ which translates to ‘The Falkland Islands are Argentinian’ after the victory in Atlanta.
