« Les Malouines sont argentines » : Londres réagit à la provocation des joueurs de l’Albicéleste
Argentina defeated England on Wednesday in the semi-finals of the 2026 World Cup. The Albiceleste overturned the Three Lions in the dying moments of the match. Final score: 2-1 in favor of Lionel Messi and his teammates.
As they celebrated their victory at the end of the match, two Argentinian players unfurled a banner that read: "The Falkland Islands are Argentinian." This was their way of asserting the ownership of this remote archipelago in the South Atlantic to their country.
"Our commitment to the Falkland Islands will never waver."
On Thursday morning, Downing Street (the British Prime Minister's office) responded to this provocation. The deputy spokesperson for the head of the British government declared that "the World Cup may not belong to (England), but the Falkland Islands certainly do."
"Our position remains unchanged. Self-determination belongs to the islanders. Our commitment to the Falklands will never waver," he added.
It must be said that the British have been running the Archipelago since their victory over the Argentine army in June 1982.
