3 Argentina footballers could face questions over their UK visas after displaying a Falklands banner during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Lisandro Martinez, Cristian Romero, and Enzo Fernandez held a banner saying the Falkland Islands belong to Argentina after beating England in the semi-final. The display sparked criticism in the UK. Some British politicians demanded action and called for the players' work visas to be cancelled. However, an immigration expert said showing the banner alone is unlikely to be enough to cancel their visas. FIFA is also investigating the incident and another clash involving Argentina players after the World Cup final. (PC: AP)
