      No apology needed. They are adults. They knew what the banner says and knew what it means in the wider context. Revoke their visas and it doesn’t matter whether they apologise or not

    2. This will never happen as there’s too much money involved. The same way FIFA will do nothing about it.

      Clickbait from the Express and won’t happen, but it also shouldn’t because a) it looks insecure as fuck, and b) the Argentine players in the squad contributed £20m in income tax last season, or about a third of the £60m defence costs of the Falklands.

      Just remind them their tax is helping to guard the Falklands.

    4. Despite the headline, even the Express spends the entire article explaining that it obviously wouldn’t happen.

    5. Not a chance I’m reading that garbage from that site. Guarantee this is literally all from empty hearsay for clicks.

    6. Get GCHQ to hack the screens in the stadium and show an image of the Belgrano for the whole match instead.

      This is a non story and never going to happen. Dont believe the shite and don’t let it wind you up.

    8. “She added that against this legal threshold, „it is highly unlikely that displaying the ‚Falkland Islands are Argentine‘ banner would, by itself, justify cancelling a Premier League player’s visa“.”

      So if you actually read the article, the random lawyer quoted here literally said the opposite of what the headline says

      Funny how the free speech at any cost brigade get all butt hurt whenever people express an opinion they dislike.

      Argentinian players comments about the Falklands is distasteful, but so what?

    10. Good, do it. If England players did anything like that there’d be a witch hunt.

    11. I wonder how long into the PL season it’ll be, before somebody gets sent off for making a Falklands comment to an Argentinian player…

      What a headloss / meltdown there has been over the last couple of days. Sensational.

      Instead of doing that, on their tax returns make sure you highlight „Falklands defence contribution“ in big, bold lettering.
      That would be lovely.

    14. I’m not British but…play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

      You can have your political disagreements as an Argentine, but like…what the hell were they thinking?

      It’s concerning that even some UK politicians support revoking their UK visa. This amounts to limiting freedom of speech.

    16. Didn’t they hold the same flag up 40 odd years ago, but without the writing.

      I’m Argentinian. I don’t know much about the context of who was holding the flag since I’m not following this world cup, but my opinion is thar they should be punished by FIFA any other punishment would be out of place.
      The world cup is already very diluted and its not about futbol anymore so adding politics its not only against the rules but also shows lack of sportsmanship.
      The other thing I want to add is that, probably not many people understand the context of that text, and I’m not trying to justify but we are literally raised around that narrative. You see that message in the TV, books, cars, graffiti and it’s what we learn at school. The maps that we use at school have the islands. It’s extremely difficult to escape that narrative because most of the information we have access to in Argentina is very partial (at least that was the case when i was in school), and it’s also use by political parties to put the criticism away from local authorities. I’ve literally never heard anyone in my life that has said that islands are not Argentinian, because if you say that you are a traitor, it’s basically inconceivable.
      I don’t expect people to understand but the reality is that most people dont have the resources to form their own opinions so they rely on what the tv and politicians say.

      Distasteful, but the UK is really running free speech into the ground. Embarrassing.
