WORLD CUP | Argentina Players Hold Malvinas Banner After Win Over England

Argentinian players celebrated their 2-1 World Cup semi-final win over England in Atlanta on Wednesday by holding a banner reading "The Malvinas are Argentine," a reference to the Falkland Islands, according to Yahoo Sports. Tottenham midfielder Giovani Lo Celso was among those holding the sign as teammates danced on the pitch. Tension over the sovereignty of the Falklands, a British Overseas Territory since 1833, had built before the match, with Argentina's vice-president Victoria Villarruel calling England "invaders" and "usurping pirates" on social media.
