Argentina's squad mocked England after their World Cup semi-final victory, staging a 'minute's silence' for Thomas Tuchel's side in the dressing room. The defending champions came from behind to win 2-1 in Atlanta, with Enzo Fernandez and Lautaro Martinez scoring late goals after Anthony Gordon had given England the lead.
Match details and celebrations
England looked on course for a second World Cup final when Gordon scored in the 55th minute. But Tuchel's defensive substitutions backfired as Fernandez equalised in the 85th minute and Martinez headed home Lionel Messi's cross to give Argentina the lead. Scaloni's side held on for a famous victory, setting up a final against Spain.
After the match, Argentina's players celebrated with fans and later in the dressing room. Social media footage showed them holding a banner reading 'Las Malvinas son Argentinas' (The Falklands are Argentine), which could face FIFA punishment. Nicolas Otamendi then led a mock 'minute's silence' for England, with players singing: 'A minute of silence for England, who is dead.'
England's next match
England will face France in the third-place playoff on Saturday, while Argentina prepare for Sunday's final against Spain. The video of Argentina's celebrations has spread widely online, drawing criticism from some England fans.
