Argentina defeated England 2-1 in a World Cup semi-final held in Atlanta. Players Lisandro Martínez and Giovani Lo Celso displayed a banner reading “Las Malvinas son Argentinas.” FIFA rules prohibit political banners in stadiums, and the 1982 conflict over the islands resulted in 649 Argentine and 255 British deaths.
