Several Argentina players waved a banner which read ‘The Malvinas are Argentine’ after their victory over England in the World Cup semi-final

Giuliani, that name sounds familiar…

Of course the players can say what they want, nobody is saying they can’t. It just so happens that they are voluntary members of an organization that has a set of rules which is not related to the US constitution.

This is prime political shithousery

        It should, but FIFA makes the rules for the leagues and its players, not for themselves.

          FIFA has no integrity and of course they can’t police themselves. That doesn’t mean it’s appropriate to cash in.
