A profession team representing their country bringing a political protest banner onto the pitch. Really?

After Wednesday's victory, Argentina vice-president Victoria Villarruel posted on X, external, writing "it wasn't just another match" alongside a video of what appeared to be Argentine soldiers.
"The Falklands are Argentine," Villarruel posted. "They banned bringing them to the stadium and forgot that we carry them in our blood and our hearts."
In the build-up to the game, Villarruel had said the semi-final was "about putting the invaders in their place".
Don't give them the Maldives, I like it there. They can have the Falklands though

You might as well include the rest of the world. We know Johnny Foreigner always cheats. The English always play with a straight bat. Which, admittedly is cricket so that's probably why we lost at football.

The England team should have kicked the football betterer than the other team kicked the football into the net at the other end of the field. Then they would have won the game of football.
I know way more than the current England coach, Mr. Ted Lasso
I'll have you know I'm a single parent at the moment, with Mrs. G on holibobs with her dad and sister in Skiathos. I barely had time to watch anything what with the domestic chores, cooking me tea, walking the mutt, sweeping the hearth, scrubbing the front step, etc., etc.Yorick wrote: Thu Jul 16, 2026 3:54 pmDid you and Mrs G spill the Bollly when the dirty Argies scored?gremlin wrote: Thu Jul 16, 2026 2:44 pmPah!

Given the totaly boring football that England played in the last 3 or 4 games I am not surprised. If I wanted to see 3 or 4 blokes kicking a ball sideways to each other, and then giving it back to their own goalkeeper..............Yorick wrote: Fri Jul 17, 2026 1:26 pm Blimey

Yup, I'm not gonna bother watching, who cares.
