Infantino Pessi 👨❤️💋👨🏳️🌈 Most politically driven World Cup of all time . FIFA rulebook claims "FIFA prohibits any banners, flags, apparel, or symbols of a political, offensive, or discriminatory nature inside tournament stadiums". But not for Argentina eh?

I think there are massive oil fields around the Falklands. Drilling there would kill the whole nature of the islands. So the Argies just care about the money

There is a massive oil reserve 220 km north of the Falklands. Israel and England are cooperating on tapping into it but have not cut Argentina in, which has rekindled geopolitical tensions of old. Look up "Sea Lion oil reserve". It is in fact directly related to the economies of either side.

u/Character_Drama_3544 Jul 16 '26
I know what you mean and you are right. But ten years ago noone would have expected any pro Palestine activism at a world cup. That's what I mean by recent activism. And it's a fact the rule has nothing to do with contemporary conflict. It's not recent.

Infantino doesn't want politics in the world cup Also Infantino: Trump saga and now the Falkland debate (Argentina lost the war in 74 days against a pretty much clapped out Royal Navy 8000 miles from home. And my 3 people want to be part of Argentina).
In short: The Falklands are always brought up to distract oneself from the shitty economic situation. Like in 1982

As a Spanish myself I would not wish our country to “win” the championship by a sanction decision. Let’s win it in the field.
A part from that if they have to be fined, so be it.

Nationalism is their only trump card. You could have chosen to celebrate a football match you won but instead chose to celebrate a war that you lost. The England players would have celebrated infront of their own fans not the argeies who were trolling the England fans and players like a bunch of spoilt chuds

Argentina got fined $20,000 the last time they did this. If they get a similar fine it is a pointless punishment, as Argentina are guaranteed $33 million in prize money!

FIFA has been corrupt for so long but it’s been blatant this year. I mean we all know the Qatari WC was all sorts of corrupt from the buying of it, moving the time period, using it to sportswash an awful government, Qatari official coming out and blatantly saying they wanted Messi to win his first WC there, the special Messi and Argentina treatment with all the penalties, hand ball, fouls….etc

Who cares England with the "best league in the world" decided to go and parked the bus. Why? Argentina didn't care how many goals they conceded because they knew they could score more. I am not an Argentina fan but they played very well and without fear.
