The White House has defended Argentina’s men’s football team over the controversial Falklands banner waved by players at the World Cup semi-final against England – claiming it as asserting their right to free speech.
Argentina face potential disciplinary action from Fifa after the men’s national team unveiled a banner after beating the Three Lions which read ‘Las Malvinas son Argentinas’, or ‘The Falklands are Argentine’, appearing to violate rules on political statements.
