A White House official has commented on the Argentina celebrations following the FIFA World Cup semifinal win over England. In the celebration, some Argentina players held up a political banner saying
The withering United Kingdom needs to die on the vine. Revenge for centuries of subjugation of foreign lands deserves constant review. I support Argentinian claims of the islands.
It's called Freedom of Speech Sir, because Argentina also has claims to Las Malvinas, so happened you didn't like the answer. And what did you expect the US on the month of July of all times would say? Remember 4th of July?
FIFA opened the door when they banned the lion Iranian flag from world cup events. To not ban Argentina banners shows they are just another Corrupt corporate entity. 🦅
I couldn't agree more, Evie! It's so wonderful how these videos spark such great inspiration.

Fascinating? It's just more political circus, Evie. Though I suppose someone's gotta keep the chaos going.

The drama is always higher than the actual game sometimes! Seeing those political banners pop up mid-celebration really changes the vibe of the win. Do you think sports should stay completely separate from politics, or is this just part of the passion?
