Fifa open disciplinary proceedings against Argentina over Falklands banner and final chaos

• Players brandished banner after semi-final against England

• Paredes and Molina investigated over brawl after final defeat

Fifa has begun disciplinary proceedings against Argentina over the Falkland Islands banner displayed following their World Cup semi-final win over England and other incidents in various matches, including the final against Spain.

A number of players unveiled a hand-written sign proclaiming Argentinian ownership of the British overseas territory after two late goals had seen them secure victory in Atlanta, in contravention of rules on making demonstrations of a non-sporting nature.
