FIFA launch investigation into Argentina and Emiliano Martinez after World Cup final

FIFA have confirmed they are opening an investigation into the Argentina football association in relation to the actions of their players and staff around the World Cup final.

Argentina beat France on penalties after a dramatic 3-3 draw at Lusail Stadium in Qatar in December. Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez saved a penalty from Kingsley Coman in the shoot-out, while Aurelien Tchouameni was also off-target after being distracted by the Aston Villa stopper.

The tense game had a number of flashpoints both before and after the penalties, with Martinez also attracting criticism for his antics after the victory. Now, nearly a month on from Argentina's victory, further punishment could be on the way.
