Argentina's Shocking Sportsmanship: Why FIFA Must Act

The behaviour of Argentina at full time last night was nothing short of a disgrace. That is some of the worst sportsmanship I have ever seen. And FIFA need to sanction them heavily. Not just the individuals, but the team as a collective. Paredes grabbing the throat of Eric Garcia, then scrapping Gavi, who'd not even come on as a sub. Molina throwing a punch at Rodri, who was simply running past him, trying to celebrate with his own teammates. Roberto Ayala throwing a punch at Dani Olmo a It wasn't just one individual losing their head, this was multiple players. And the irony here is that the reason for doing it was that Spain were daring to celebrate, daring to celebrate winning the World cup on the pitch. And actually the Spanish players were keeping to themselves. They were simply trying to celebrate amongst each other. Unlike Argentina in the semi final when they equalized and Romero went up into the face of Jordan Pickford screaming in his face when they scored the winner. And Barco came running off the bench not to celebrate with his own team, but to go up to the England players and scream, scream in their faces. And yet that didn't prompt the sort of reaction we saw from Argentina last night at full time in that game. Romero screaming in the face of Jude Bellingham. These were the sort of actions that deserved a reaction, but they didn't get it. But last night, that is what Argentina did. It is an absolute disgrace. They then went on to turn their back against Spain when Spain were lifting the trophy for seemingly no reason. Spain did nothing wrong during the game. They were actually on the receiving end of a lot of pretty disgraceful challenges. It's. It's unbelievable what we've seen there. And like I said, FIFA need to sanction them. They won't. They won't. That is the reality. Paredes might get a ban, Molina might get a ban, but that'll be it.
