FIFA opened an investigation against Argentina
In fresh days we have described the unpleasant incidental that occurred after the planet Cup football finals. Unfortunately, the representation of Argentina showed up on the worst side. We wrote: “As the dailymail.com portal states The ugly behaviour of the South American squad intensified after the final whistle, erstwhile Leandro Paredes – who was highly fortunate that he did not fly out of the field during the final – sparked a mass fight during the celebration of the Spaniards.
The helper was furious after the defeat; it was seen grabbing Erik García by the throat. A minute later, waving his hands, he pushed Gavi to the ground. Nahuel Molina besides struck with a fist against the torso moving alongside Rodrigo, and Thiago Almada was active in the struggle.
But that is not the end. Roberto Ayala, a associate of the Argentine staff and assistant coach Lionel Scaloni, hit Dani Olmo with an open hand to the neck. The punch looked very aggressive. Where was Messi at the time? He watched the full incidental and did not intend to intervene. As captain of his team, he stood aside and did not react. These are truly shocking moments."
Interestingly, Ayala later regretted his behaviour and even attempted to apologize to Dani Olmo, claiming that his reaction was the consequence of words he allegedly had to hear from the victim. As a result, Dani Olmo gave a very strong interview to the Catalan paper “Diari de TerrassaIn which he accused Ayala of a brazen lie, criticized the deficiency of actual repentance, and categorically rejected an apology based on untruth.
All this scandal has caused initiation of an investigation by FIFA. Will it end with severe penalties? Time will tell. So far, the Disciplinary and Ethics Prosecutor has been appointed. On his hands were sent reports of judges, documentation prepared by both teams and recordings depicting the full event. The minimum punishment is to suspend the guilty for 3 consecutive games. However, if the consequences were to be only such, FIFA would not alternatively wait for their announcement. So you can anticipate something bigger.
The seriousness of the situation is further demonstrated by the fact that everything happened in front of millions of people from many countries of the world, and this could undermine FIFA's reputation. The FIFA Disciplinary Code itself in Article 13 refers to the imposition of sanctions for "objective conduct and violation of fair play rules". This article besides prohibits "use of sporting events for non-sports demonstrations". It's just a shame they weren't punished for rainbow armbands and kneeling to suck up to BLM.
All fights and physical assaults are in turn governed by Article 14, which states a ban on beating, strangling and pushing another players. That's why the charges were filed against Paredes and Molina.
And although the tournament itself has already ended in accordance with FIFA rules on penalties and disqualifications – possible sanctions imposed for gross behaviour on this year's mundial – will apply from the next authoritative matches of the Argentina team.
It is improbable that the full squad will be punished and thus suspended representation for respective games. usually penalties are imposed individually, as shown by erstwhile cases – specified as a four-month ban for Luis Suárez, who received in 2014 for biting Giorgio Chiellini during a Uruguay match against the Italians in that mundialu.
The banner thread with which the Argentines stood on the turf after their triumph against England in the semifinal will besides be explored. He proclaimed the Falkland Islands' membership of Argentina. This case is besides subject to Article 13 (remembered non-sports manifestations).
On the another hand, it is simply a pity that the poisoning of Brazilian footballers by the Argentines on the mundial in Italy in 1990 was not investigated due to the fact that these others were expected to give them water in bottles, to which they added Rohypnol (a strong sedative). The full case is no secret, due to the fact that in 1 of Maradona's tv interviews, he spoke of this open text.
He even laughed that they drugged rivals in the 1/8 final, which allowed them to win 1:0. “The hand of God” felt so impunityless that during this conversation Branco was mocking (actually Cláudio Ibrahim Vaz Leala) – a player who was to tempt himself with the water offered to him. As you can see, Argentina has not changed much since then. The methods are different, but only 1 thing matters – the end justifies the means. All that matters is the cup, even if it's the dirtiest way.
