Liberal Democrats leader Ed Davey has called on FIFA to ban the six Argentine players who celebrated with the "Falklands are Argentine" banner from playing in Sunday's final.
Ed Davey has told Sky News he has written to the president Gianni Infantino.

When a South Korean player held up a political sign about his country's territorial dispute with Japan at the 2012 Olympics, FIFA decided to suspend him for two matches.
Will FIFA punish the Argentine players who waved a political banner after their match against England?
🚨🇦🇷El futbolista sudafricano Themba Zwane fue expulsado por un manotazo en la nuca a un futbolista mexicano. Se requirió la revisión del VAR para apreciar la mala intención de la acción.
En cambio, Enzo Fernández dio un codazo en la nuca a un futbolista inglés al minuto 3, sin la más mínima posibilidad de jugar el balón y con toda la intención de hacer daño. No hubo amarilla. No hubo revisión en el VAR.
Ambas jugadas son muy similares.
La diferencia es que Sudáfrica no vende, no tiene a un Messi, no representa un gran negocio para la FIFA y no lava dinero en Miami.
Spain had players banned when they protested over Gibraltar.
England were fined when we wore poppies for our veterans.
Argentina were allowed to wrestle, elbow drop and foul our players at will all because this is Lionel Messi’s swan song and final World Cup.
@FIFAcom is a corrupt and disgraceful organisation.
If you hate England so much, why do so many players fight to play in the Premier League or the Championship? Why do so many dream of living and building their careers here? You don't have to support England, but constantly disrespecting the very country that has given so many footballers the biggest platform in the world is pretty classless. Just saying. 🏴⚽
Simeone has committed FIVE fouls in the opening 40 minutes of the game and hasn't been carded. Elliot Anderson committed 1 foul and got carded..
Make it make sense 🤦🏼♂️
