Story summary

Argentina's national football team celebrated their World Cup semi-final win over England on July 15, marking a significant victory that came 40 years after a previous big win over England at the 1986 tournament. In a tense match played in Atlanta, England took an early lead through Anthony Gordon's goal in the 55th minute, but Argentina scored two late goals to secure a 2-1 win and move on to bid for their first World Cup final since 1966. The victory was marred by controversy as some Argentine players celebrated while holding a banner that read "Las Malvinas son Argentinas", which translates to "The Falklands are Argentine". This slogan is a reference to the long-standing sovereignty dispute between Argentina and the UK over the Falkland Islands, a British Overseas Territory in the south Atlantic.
