Argentina is at risk of being sanctioned by FIFA after its players celebrated with a Falkland Islands banner following its semi-final win over England on Wednesday. After the team’s dramatic comeback victory at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, midfielder Giovani Lo Celso appeared on the field with a banner saying, “Las Malvinas son Argentinas,” which translates to “The Malvinas are Argentine.” ‘Las Malvinas’ is the term used in Argentina for the Falkland Islands, a British dependency which lies around 300 miles (480 km) off the east coast of mainland Argentina. In 1982, Argentina’s military government invaded in an attempt to take the territory from the United Kingdom. Full story from @Dan_Sheldon bit.ly/4poUg3f
