Argentina's Paredes Banned for 10 Games After World Cup Clashes The recent controversy surrounding Argentina's behavior at the 2026 World Cup final has left a sour taste in the mouths of fans and officials alike.
The punishments handed down by Fifa, including a 10 match ban for midfielder Leandro Paredes and seven matches for Nahuel Molina, are a stark reminder that even the world's best teams can fall foul of sportsmanship.
The most egregious offense was the unveiling of the "Las Malvinas son Argentinas" banner following Argentina's semi final victory over England.
