Argentina and England played an exciting semifinal that ended with the Albiceleste’s victory and qualification for the grand final, where they will face Spain.

The surprise came after the end of the match, when some players celebrated by raising a flag with the message “the Malvinas are Argentine”, despite FIFA confirming that flags, signs, shirts, or other items containing political or provocative messages would not be allowed into the stadium, a restriction that also covered any reference to the Malvinas Islands.
