Hopefully FIFA applies the rules as strictly to those players who held up the Malvinas flag on Wednesday…

Also banned spanish players for a march for a flag saying Gibraltor is Spanish.
Be very amusing if they maintained the sanction. Assume they will deal with this after Sunday though

Don’t tell me you think that to be unfair? You can have another week by the way.

Depends what time you ask; it would be a lot more 10 minutes later.

So, long drive today*, left Ashford at 5 am and am now at Montmarault. Well now as in after dejeuner and a few glasses of the local brew.
Wrong thread I hear you cry, but actually no.
On said long drive** I had plenty of time to ruminate and ponder.
Thinking about the England result, the argies holding up banners and the general whole winners and losers, nationalist clams and the righteous.
Is there a correlation between the "shame" England feel for their colonial past and their failures*** in sport in general due to not wanting to have have the bad person tag attached to them.
It doesn't seem to bother any of the other colonial powers (not saying any were better or worse than others or that because one did it it was ok for others).
Other countries appear to be able to deal with patriotism hugely better than England.
Is it a factor?
* long drives are bad for your mental health.
** drove down France, through Paris in the time it takes to get anywhere within 40 miles of London. WTF is that all about. And French drive like maniacs, worst still their roads full of Dutch who drive like maniacs on speed. My wife asked why the Dutch have yellow number plates, I told her it was a warning.
*** yes, yes, yes the Scots and sporting failure, I know.

It will be a two match ban, suspended for a year, on the condition they don't show that banner in another world cup in the meantime.

So plenty of sabre rattling from the Argentinian President the last couple of days.
I think he might be pushing the 'urgent' narrative as I think he sees Trump as potentially onboard with him. The 'urgency' angle comes from Trump facing the mid terms soon and maybe not as powerful post those results
In truth, Trump is just being a man baby about us not fully supporting him with the mess he's created with Iran. Probably as shallow as just wanting to 'get us back'

Hasn't he plundered them into a financial slump? Good distraction if so....learning off the best

I think they've been in a financial slump for ages...
Look at the 10 year inflation and peso/dollar currency exchange chart and you'll wonder how they keep going.
But it's a wealth inequality story....so you might have to do something if you want to be re-elected if you've squeezed more and more of the middle classes into not liking you as they're skint... and lost their vote as a consequence
