Argentina Reach World Cup Final After 2-1 Win Over England

FIFA has opened a disciplinary probe into a 'Las Malvinas son argentinas' banner that could result in fines.

Overview

  • Argentina overturned England to win 2-1 in the semifinal, with goals from Enzo Fernández and Lautaro Martínez, and advanced to face Spain in the final on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
  • FIFA has opened a formal investigation into the postmatch display of a 'Las Malvinas son argentinas' banner and has notified the AFA, which will have an opportunity to present a defense and likely face a monetary sanction.
  • Argentina's security minister had ratified a prematch ban on Malvinas-related flags and jerseys after a high-risk assessment that included coordination with the FBI and a 1,600-officer operation.
  • President Javier Milei said he will not attend the final, defended a diplomatic approach to the Malvinas issue, and described personal rituals he will keep while watching from the Quinta de Olivos.
  • The national team resumed training in Atlanta, planned to travel to New Jersey for the July 19 final, and FIFA named Slovenian referee Slavko Vincic to officiate the match.
