Milan, July 16 (LaPresse/AP) — “The World Cup may not be ours, but the Falkland Islands certainly are.” This was stated by a spokesperson for Prime Minister Keir Starmer, referring to the banner displayed by the Argentine soccer players reading ‘The Malvinas are Argentine’ after their World Cup semifinal victory over England. “Self-determination rests with the islanders, and our commitment to the Falklands will never waver,” he added. Starmer supported calls for an investigation by FIFA, the spokesperson said, after British Trade Minister Peter Kyle described the players’ behavior as “entirely inappropriate.”
