Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Fifa Investigates Argentina After World Cup Final Fracas
Caption: Fifa Investigates Argentina After World Cup Final Fracas. FIFA has opened an investigation into the disorder that followed Argentina's defeat to Spain in the World Cup final. The governing body's disciplinary committee has appointed a prosecutor to examine the incidents with players, coaches and the Argentine Football Association all potentially facing sanctions. Defender Nahuel Molina, midfielders Leandro Paredes and Thiago Almada, along with assistant coach Roberto Ayala, were all reported to have been involved in confrontations as Spain celebrated their victory. FIFA also confirmed that Paredes was not sent off during the incident, despite initial reports, and no disciplinary action was taken against him at the time. The investigation comes as Argentina is already facing separate disciplinary proceedings over a banner supporting its claim to the Falkland Islands after the World Cup semi-final against England.
