Downing Street has backed calls for Fifa to investigate whether Argentina players broke rules by waving a banner in support of their country’s claims to the Falkland Islands, and insisted: “The World Cup might not be ours, but the Falkland Islands definitely are.”
An international row was sparked when Argentine players held up a banner that read “Las Malvinas son Argentinas”, which translates to “The Falkland Islands are Argentinian”, in the wake of their 2-1 victory over England in the World Cup semi-final.
