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.
