Argentina beat England and celebrate with "Malvinas are Argentinian" Falklands banner

After their dramatic 2-1 semi-final comeback win over England in Atlanta, Argentina's players celebrated on the pitch with a banner reading "Las Malvinas son Argentinas," referencing the 1982 Falklands War. Argentina had been trailing 1-0 with five minutes remaining before netting twice to reach a second consecutive World Cup final against Spain in New Jersey. The gesture immediately sparked political and media commentary.

Should players make political statements on the pitch during the World Cup?
