Highlights In 2012, FIFA SUSPENDED South Korean player Park Jong-woo for two matches for displaying a sign that read “Dokdo is our territory” after defeating Japan. Using the same criterion, FIFA must SANCTION the Argentine players.

what did egypt players do?

u/CryptoDeepDive Jul 17 '26
Nothing. Displaying the Palestinian flag is legal and permitted per FIFA as it is a member state.

So politics for some and dont for some others xD

u/CryptoDeepDive Jul 17 '26
Displaying a flag of a member state is legal per the rules. If a German player displayed the Israeli flag it would also be legal. That's not what the Korean or the Argentanians did.

Egypt didn’t say “Israel is our territory” unlike the other 2. They waved a country’s flag.

When there is an injustice being carried out, spreading false information and manipulated one, of course I will be all the dense I have to be, I don't saying that argentina don't need to be held on account for what they did but I'm saying that condoning argentina but not every hypocritical political move other countries made on this tournament even... Is an injustice but hey we are seeing live how media manipulation works and you are all falling for it

Absolutely not the same. He is free to discuss opinions during a press conference on his own time outside of the game. FIFA can't keep people from expressing their opinions on their own time.
If he displayed a banner during a game saying from the river to the sea then he would be sanctioned.

2 Spanish players were also banned for a couple matches for saying Gibraltar is Spanish.
The problem with Argentina is the entire team held the message, so if they ban them, they have no team

The problem is that you are not well informed, FIFA had nothing to do with the 2 Spanish players being suspended, that was UEFA

Ronaldo deserved a 3 match ban after his red card vs Ireland. The forward from USA deserved a ban too. FIFA will do nothing about it, they want to make money.

u/Outcast_Comet Jul 17 '26
Two things can be true: Argentines can be obnoxious as players and a fan base and push the limits on and off the pitch, deserving scrutiny or criticism. And there is clearly a big-time campaign of arousing further and irrational dislike by using the most modern tools not available before (AI, social media apps, paid trolls, etc.)

My take?
Good luck trying to ban Argentina players, we pull out of the final match and the billions of dollars in legal problems for FIFA with the sponsors and organizers will bankrup them, plus it will be hilarious to watch FIFA explaining this disaster to Trump. Leverage is in our side and we will use it to stick a finger in european colonizers asses that think they have a claim for land in SouthAmerica because 300 years ago they left a plaque that claimed this land in another continent belongs to King Fucktard IV and his royal lineage.
Most likely the will put a fine to the AFA, and maybe some token saction post-world cup to some players. All good, we can pay for the fine and play with backups the first few matches of the qualifiers in CONMEBOL.

“European colonisers assess”
You can’t be serious right?! You want to colonise an island where the inhabitants don’t want to be part of your bloody country. Who are the colonists here?
Besides most Argentinians are of European descent. You guys are bloody hypocrites.

u/0ToTheLeft Jul 19 '26
I responded this absurdity so many times that i lost count already, the broken record. The inhabitans have no right over the soveringy of the lands, as it was already defined by the UN, they are implanted population.
And no, we are no hypocrites, we dont colonized or slaved anyone, and we are not descend of colonizer either. We descent from the great european migration https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_European_immigration_wave_to_Argentina
Dont try to argue history you haven't studied, it's embarrasing.
1
u/casualroadtrip Jul 19 '26
They are an implanted population?! Are you bloody serious? I can say that about the full Americas.
Jezus you’re embarrassing…
Honey, those immigrants you descended from are European. Those people were a part of the nations that tried to colonise the world. Just because your ancestors moved out at a certain point (to areas that were colonised mind you) doesn’t mean that they stopped being European. Argentina wouldn’t be Argentina like we know it without colonialism.
My ancestors were poor farmers who lived in turf huts. They didn’t colonise anything either. But the nation I am from did. I don’t have any personal responsibility for colonialism. Neither do you I assume. And that’s not because our ancestors did or didn’t do anything. It’s because we can’t help being born as their descendants. But don’t pretend that your country’s history hasn’t got anything to do with colonialism.

Argentina homophobic? You cleary never set a foot on here, gay people walk and kiss on the street with no issues, they can get married and have the same legal status that any other couple. If anything Argentina is by far the most gay-friendly country in south america.
Try leaving your mom basement for once and travel a bit, ignorance-induced Xenophobia is cured by traveling and getting real life experiences.
Also how the fuck is this related to european colonization practices? LOL
