FIFA Investigate 'Provocative' Argentine Banner​

FIFA said Saturday it has launched an inquiry into Argentina's "provocative" unfurling of a banner laying claim to the Falkland islands at a friendly game just before the World Cup.

The head of FIFA's disciplinary committee said the gesture was an "apparent breach" of regulations on "prevention of provocative and aggressive actions," according to a FIFA statement.

Argentina could be fined at the end of the inquiry, officials said.

Argentine players displayed the banner proclaiming "Las Malvinas Son Argentinas (The Malvinas are Argentinian)" to the crowd before a friendly against Slovenia in La Plata five days ahead of the World Cup.

The Falklands, which were at the centre of a 1982 war between Britain and Argentina after an Argentinian invasion of the South Atlantic islands, are known as Las Malvinas in Spanish.

England's players at the World Cup have been ordered not to answer questions on the Falklands whilst at the tournament, media reports said.

FIFA said the Argentina Football Association has been "invited to provide its position" to the world body's disciplinary committee.

Chile player admits cheating against Socceroos, claims Tim Cahill​

A Chilean player admitted to cheating as star-struck Australia suffered stage fright in a galling opening World Cup loss. Australian striker Tim Cahill says Chile's 3-1 win in Cuiaba came down to respect: the Socceroos showed their opponents too much and their opponents showed football none.

Cahill claims his Chilean marker Gonzalo Jara admitted to cheating in a feisty fixture at the Arena Pantanal. The pair tangled behind play in a first half incident which led to the Australian receiving a yellow card.

"The left-back kicked out at me when I was trying to run past him for a cross and I pushed him away - and I got the yellow card," Cahill said. "I called him a cheat. And he said 'yes, I'm a cheat, so what'. That is not gamesmanship ... this needs to be out of the game."

The Australians opened with frayed nerves on football’s biggest stage and conceded two goals in three minutes. Inside a quarter hour the Socceroos were 2-0 down and on the ropes.

Chilean fans, who dominated the 40,275-strong crowd, were soon taunting the Australian players with a mocking 'ole' chant as Chile held a string of possession. But Cahill, so often the saviour, again came to the rescue.

The expert marksman pegged a goal back with a trademark header in the 35th minute to revive the flagging Socceroos. And he was a central figure in a second-half Socceroos rally.

Cahill netted another header only to be correctly called offside. And he had an appeal for a penalty rejected after having his shirt obviously pulled. Both Cahill and Australian coach Ange Postecoglou believed a penalty should have been given.

"We should have probably been awarded a penalty because the only way they could stop him was by holding on to his shirt," Postecoglou said, before conceding his players were "overawed" early. But he praised a spirited fightback which only ended in injury time when substitute Jean Beausejour scored Chile's third goal.

"The players are very disappointed because they sensed that the game was there for them and they thought they could get something out of the game," Postecoglou said. "So to walk off and cop that late goal, it's very deflating."

The defeat came at a cost, with defender Ivan Franjic suffering a left hamstring strain which is set to end his World Cup. And three Australians - Cahill, captain Mile Jedinak and Mark Milligan - must tread carefully: all got yellow cards and will be suspended for a match if they receive another one.
