Falklands Fallout: What's at Stake for Argentina, FIFA, and the Politics of Soccer The Argentinian soccer team's provocative banner displayed after their semi final win over England has reignited a long standing dispute between Argentina and the United Kingdom over the Falkland Islands' sovereignty.
The banner, which reads "Las Malvinas son Argentinas" ("Malvinas are Argentinian"), is a reference to the contentious issue that has been simmering since Argentina's failed invasion attempt in 1982.
The incident raises questions about FIFA's ability to enforce its rules across all member nations.
