Argentina's World Cup heroes reignited one of football's most politically charged rivalries by unfurling a "Las Malvinas son Argentinas" flag moments after knocking England out of the tournament.
As jubilant players celebrated their dramatic 2-1 semi-final victory, television cameras captured several members of Lionel Scaloni's squad posing with the banner, which translates as "The Falkland Islands are Argentine."
The slogan reflects Argentina's long-standing claim over the Falkland Islands – known in Spanish as Las Malvinas – and is certain to spark controversy among England supporters after a fiercely contested encounter.
The scenes came after England's hopes of reaching a first World Cup final since 1966 were dashed by a ruthless Argentine display that combined clinical finishing with resolute defending.

Following England's World Cup semi-final loss to Argentina, reporters discuss the emotional aftermath for fans and condemn the Argentine players for displaying a political banner claiming the Falkland Islands. The segment also features a brief discussion on financial freedom and the risks of state-controlled fiat currency.
Yeah, I think it was just a bit of fisticuffs. I don't know what was going on. It seems quite calm now.
I don't know if we can pan, bend down. We've taken to the rooftop so we get a decent bird's-eye view.
Everybody seems well-behaved. All the Argentina fans walking past this England pub.
We've been at the Hudson Grill. England supporters drowning their sorrows. It seems fine.
I mean, the one bit of controversy post-game is the celebrations from the Argentina players in the stadium.
I'm not sure if you've seen the pictures yet,
but they held up a banner saying that the Falklands, or as they call it, the Malvinas, are Argentinian.
They held that banner on the pitch. Maybe we can get a picture for you shortly.
I mean, they're vile, aren't they, really?
They had a war in 1982. They tried to invade. The picture's on screen now. You can see it.
They tried it on in 1982. They failed.
There was a referendum some years ago, and everybody on those islands,
apart from I think it was two or three, said they want to stay part of Britain.
They're not Argentinian. They never have been. The Argentine people have never been on those islands.
If that's how they want to celebrate winning a World Cup semi-final, that's up to them.
But it makes them look very small, small-minded, petty people,
kind of like an inferior football team who just has a chip on their shoulder.
Celebrate the game. I don't know. They can do what they want.
But that's Argentina for you. That's Argentine fans. They've done it decade after decade.
Well, Argentine players in this case.
Javier Mele, the president, has been banging on about it for months on end.
The foreign minister has been talking about the Falklands as well.
The Argentine players have been singing Falklands songs in their dressing room.
They've had – sorry, I'm just looking at some action going on down there.
They're an inferior country whose currency is in the gutter.
If that's the one thing they want to focus on after winning a World Cup semi and a tightly-fought contest,
it just says more about them than us. But the Falklands will never be Argentinian.
They can try it on again if they want, and we'll see what happens.
Just on a slightly different note, Ben, the World Cup, for you out there,
you were following this England team around pretty much everywhere they went.
What was that like for you? Because you were in amongst it with the England fans.
You were getting stuck in. You must have had some tremendous memories.
I know it's gutting now, but you must have had some absolutely tremendous memories from this World Cup.
Yeah, it's been really special. I speak on behalf of me and Ben, the cameraman.
We've been travelling together for the last six weeks or so. It's just been incredible.
It's been actually one of the most memorable, most enjoyable times of my life.
I know people watching this who maybe don't enjoy sport as much as I do.
Maybe you can't comprehend that, but it has. It's been amazing.
I liked international football before, but I was always club before country.
I was always Arsenal ahead of England.
Just being out here following the fans around, you meet people at the first venue in Dallas.
Then you go on to, say, New York, Atlanta, Miami, Mexico, back to Atlanta.
You recognise them from cities before, and it becomes such a travelling family.
It's so enjoyable. You learn about people. You share the nerves and the enjoyment and the jubilations together.
You follow each other on social media. It's been amazing.
What an opportunity for me, actually.
Thank you to GB News for allowing us, Ben and I, to do this. It's been incredible.
I hope my enthusiasm for this World Cup adventure has relayed itself to viewers and listeners back home.
It's been amazing. A time I'll never forget.
Just a disappointing end, but let's just remember how far the squad got and how well they played,
not least in the Azteca in Mexico.
It made me feel so happy and proud to be English,
seeing the grit and the determination and the fortitude that the squad played,
especially in that Mexico game.
One man down, penalties that never were, red cards.
That's the great thing about sport.
I love sport so much because you can take so many lessons from that kind of performance
and what you see on the pitch.
It's such a mental challenge and you can transcend that into real life as well.
And hopefully, England as a country, the United Kingdom as a whole,
hopefully we can take something from that bravery and the patriotism we've seen from the past six months.
Because we've shown that we've got it.
We've shown that when we want to come together in unity and remember who we are,
we're English, we're brave, we can...
Hello. Now, do you have concerns that the government want to impact every area of your life?
There was a time when the state did what it needed to do,
took a little bit of our money from our income and provided good public services.
And that was pretty much the remit. Not anymore.
It can feel like we're living in an age of increased censorship in two-tier policing.
And this can also play into the freedoms that we have with our money.
You might be worried that the government could debank you if your face doesn't fit or you say the wrong thing.
So is there potentially a solution?
I'm joined now by the founder and CEO of Tally Money, Cameron Parry.
You know, we've been in just over a 51-year experiment now with fiat currency
where our monetary systems that have been at national level haven't been anchored to anything.
So there's no accountability in the number of units of currency that can be issued
because there's no asset anchoring it to anything.
And also the people making those decisions don't bear any consequences to their decision-making.
And so they can arbitrarily inflate the money supply,
maybe support fashionable policies that are at least fashionable in Westminster
but don't make a lot of sense to people outside of that bubble.
I think of a couple off the top of my head.
We need to have a choice.
We need to be able to be in something else because up until now, pretty much for all of our lives,
we've had a singular state-run currency that we've relied on.
Unfortunately, I feel for the last couple of decades at least,
that reliance and the credit of that has been used up for purposes that aren't necessarily to do with our benefit,
being the earner of the money.
I've already paid my tax.
When my money goes into my bank account, I shouldn't be getting taxed more through inflation.
And it certainly shouldn't be in some form weaponised against me through debanking or through programming money
and what I'm permitted to spend it on.
You can forget that for an idea.
Couldn't agree more.
Cameron Parry, good to see you.
Thanks, Beth.

Winston Marshalls here, musician, podcaster.
Hi, mate. You're in the stadium.
Yeah, we were in the thick of the Argentina fans,
which I would say were mostly well-behaved.
And it was actually not a bad atmosphere.
But they were certainly, at the beginning of the game,
singing their Malvinas songs that they call the Falklands.
And now, I don't know if you've seen this.
Just talking about it, the banner, the players are wearing.
What do you make of that?
Well, you know, I'm sort of sick of this,
where it's basically the Argentinian version of Palestinianism.
And they're all doing their politics.
It's kind of a woke thing all over again.
Remember, it's with BLM.
They're taking the knee forever and all this trans stuff.
It's all political.
And it's the same thing again.
They make it completely political.
Obviously, those islands are not Argentinian.
They're British.
And it's not a bloody joke.
A lot of British servicemen and Argentinians died in that war,
an illegitimate war of conquest.
They have absolutely no right to do it.
And, by the way, it wasn't just British boys and girls
who were left fatherless by that war.
Many Argentinians.
I mean, what are they doing?
What are they playing at?
What is the vice president of that country doing,
stoking like this and aggravating?
I thought it was really gross.
But anyway.
It is gross.
They didn't remember their white flag of surrender like last time.
They don't remember they lost that war.
And should it come to it, we would win again.
Yeah, I was just saying that as well.
It's been a great adventure with you in this World Cup.
I've seen you in many cities.
Ben, you've done a great job.
It's been good fun.
The people love this guy.
Every time we're in Miami, here in Atlanta, following around,
we find Ben and all the England fans, they come up to him.
They grab him.
They love him.
They say, thank you.
We love GB News.
Thanks for everything you're doing.
He's a bloody legend.
And there's a lot of people who are like, I can't go on GB News.
But thanks, thanks.
I watch secretly.
We know that some of the players' families are watching secretly.
Won't give away which players.
Yeah.
Pretty big players.
Yeah, we spoke to Patrick.
Again, we won't say it.
I promised him I wouldn't.
But we spoke to some players' auntie and uncle who said,
massive fans of the channel.
They said actually, oh, I won't say it because they'll give it away.
But yeah, massive fans of the channel.
And they said that the player in question.
And a group of the players, they enjoy GB News, which is great.
Well, Patrick, the fact that I can hear you, I think,
just speaks volumes, doesn't it?
You know, if it had stayed 1-0,
I would not have been able to hear a word you were saying
because the atmosphere in here was just absolutely unbelievable.
I think up until about the 70th minute,
every single person in this room had faith.
Everyone believed that it could indeed have been coming home.
And I have to say, you know what?
I'm more than just a reporter today.
I'm going to try and not get upset.
I'm an England fan and I really do care about this.
And I am absolutely heartbroken.
I think we really did think it was coming home.
We really did have the faith.
And it's all just come crashing down around us.
The look of disappointment is on every single face here.
10,000 fans in here in Manchester.
And the look of disappointment, there you go.
Sir, do you mind if I just ask you, how are you feeling?
I know we saw you dancing on the stage earlier.
You were embodying that atmosphere.
How are you feeling now?
I'm going to have to get my tattoo, but I'll be joking about it.
Oh, dear.
You can't see that, Patrick, but he's got on his leg
England World Cup winner 2026.
So that's going to need lasering, isn't it?
