FURY GROWS over Argentina's Falklands banner and England's National Anthem drowned out by BOOS

Argentina players were shockingly seen holding a flag saying The Falklands belonged to them as they grinned following a heartbreaking win against England. England were left devastated after the South American nation win 2-1 in the semi-final, in Atlanta, and took away the Three Lions' hopes of ending 60 years of World Cup hurt. The match quickly became heated with fights and clashes on the pitch between the two nations. Argentina disputes British sovereignty over the islands and refers to them as Las Malvinas. Political tensions over the territory boiled over into conflict in 1982. The Falkland Islands were uninhabited and unoccupied until they were first claimed by the British in 1765. In 2013 a referendum was held where islanders voted overwhelmingly to remain a UK overseas territory. Some Argentina fans were also branded "disgusting" after booing England's national anthem before their semi-final. England's national anthem went first but was drowned out by the Argentine contingent in Atlanta, sparking a flurry of angry reaction from social media users.
