02:43separate the players players and staff from both benches joined an assistant referee stood next to the
02:48initial incident and witnessed it officials and scaloni pulled everyone apart the situation
02:52calmed within roughly 30 to 60 seconds paredes was shown a straight red card after the final
02:57whistle for his role there were related incidents in the same window a verbal exchange broke out

03:22the trophy up the entire argentina squad stood with their backs turned facing their own supporters
03:27instead of watching the ceremony argentine fans continued singing messi's name and argentina
03:32chants during the spanish awards including rodri's individual trophy the medals followed the trophy
03:37lift spain gave argentina a guard of honor for the runners-up medals rodrigo de paul apologized to
03:42argentine fans while in tears messi was in tears too consoled by supporters and embraced by
03:47spain's lamb and yam how the legends destroyed argentina the most scorching verdict came on
03:53talksport where england legend stewart pierce watched the trophy lift and could barely contain
03:57his contempt he pointed to the moment the whole world had already seen the argentine players as
04:02one spinning their backs on spain's celebration and delivered the line that framed the night pierce
04:06said that as spain were about to lift their trophy the argentinians to a man all stood with their backs
04:10to it and that they had been a total disgrace here today his co-host adrian durham went even
04:15further branding the team a total embarrassment to the game aside with no class whatsoever and
04:20turning his fire on the players and the traveling support alike for their conduct during the ceremony
04:24it was the kind of studio segment that doesn't so much analyze a performance as bury it over on the
04:29bbc
04:29the tone was colder but no less damning and it carried extra weight because it came wrapped around
04:34a compliment for the one man they exempted joe hart the former england goalkeeper drew a hard line
04:38straight down the middle of the argentina squad on one side he placed lionel messi praising the
04:42captain for shaking hands with every single spanish player and carrying himself with grace when the
04:47contest was already lost on the other side he placed everyone else and for them he had a single
04:52verdict disgusting behavior alan shearer sitting alongside on the bbc went to the tape the premier
04:57league's record goalscorer described what he'd seen from pairs in the plainest terms available to a man
05:02watching a fight break out on a football pitch saying the midfielder had thrown two or three
05:07haymakers into someone's face then he widened the lens into something closer to a pattern
05:11insisting there was no place or space for that acknowledging the raw pain of losing a world cup
05:15final but arguing there was a right way and a wrong way to lose and that too many times we
05:20have seen
05:20that from argentina wayne rooney's contribution had the weary tone of a man who felt he'd watched
05:24this exact film before asked whether the scene surprised him the former england captain shrugged the
05:29whole thing off as depressingly familiar does it surprise you it doesn't surprise me he said adding that
05:33sport had seen this with argentina before that it was just sad and that the only dignified response
05:38to defeat was to be graceful and get out of there rooney also reached back to the semi-final pointedly
05:43referencing argentina's behavior after they knocked england out stitching the final into a longer story
05:48of grievance the itv panel piled on from the same direction gary neville's verdict was almost a chant
05:54in its own right it's a disgrace he said before extending the charge across the tournament with it's been
05:58disgrace the last few games lee dixon accused argentina of anti-football and openly questioned
06:04how paireds had ever stayed on the pitch long enough to be involved after the whistle ally mccoist
06:08watching a game in which argentina barely troubled the spanish goal cut to the competitive heart of
06:13it describing spain as the only team trying to win this game craig burley was named among the chorus of
06:18condemnation as well taken together the british broadcast reaction wasn't a debate it was a verdict
06:23delivered by acclamation language spilled off the television and onto the internet where the tone
06:27hardened into something even less forgiving international coverage and social media echoed
06:31the studios almost word for word sore losers shocking no class embarrassing and the commentary
06:36quickly turned from description to demand with calls for fines and suspensions for paireds and broader
06:41criticism of argentina's entire tournament conduct the ny post captured the disciplinary mood
06:46reporting that the incident was likely to grab the attention of fifa's committee and could cost
06:51pairs a longer suspension than just the mandatory one game ban argentine media didn't exactly leap to a
06:57defense some outlets including thai sea sports described the scenes as a fury attack by paireds
07:02that overshadowed the defeat itself a section of hardcore supporters did push back defending the
07:06passion or claiming spanish provocation and there was to be fair that i'll die a report of spanish
07:10players verbally goading molina first but even at home the dominant note was damage not justification
07:16the rap sheets to understand why the pundits reacted with recognition rather than shock why so many of
07:23them said in one form or another we've seen this before you have to open the files on the men
07:28at the
07:28center of the storm start with the central figure lindro paireds is the name attached to the throat
07:32grab the punches on gavi and the straight red and none of it was out of character there is a
07:36long
07:36record of physical intensity and disciplinary trouble across a career at boca juniors paris saint
07:41germain roma and the national team littered with red cards and yellow card accumulations there is
07:46history with the ugly side too back in 2020 he was involved in a headbutt incident with manchester united's
07:52fred in the champions league an episode in which fred somehow escaped a red and there's the other
07:56almost contradictory strand of his reputation with theatrics in a 2025 europa league tie with roma
08:01he was accused of play acting so blatant it was branded pathetic clutching his face after being struck
08:06in the chest and getting an opponent sent off this is a player who can hand out punishment and perform
08:10victimhood in the same breath even at this tournament he'd been in the thick of it locked in a heated
08:15teeth-gritted duel with england's jude bellingham in the semi-final then there's nahuel molina the man who lit
08:20the fuse with that strike on rodri his disciplinary trail is its own cautionary tale
08:24on his very atletico madrid debut in august 2022 he was sent off with a straight red for smashing
08:29alex bina in the face with his forearm while the ball was out of play a debut that lasted
08:33barely long enough to leave a mark his record carries multiple red cards and suspensions at
08:38this very world cup in the round of 16 against egypt he was accused of a hand strike to an
08:42opponent's
08:42face that many felt merited a red and somehow escaped one and this isn't even his first world
08:46cup melee he was in the middle of the chaos in 2022 too when a pen was hurled at him
08:50from the
08:51dutch bench during the notorious quarterfinal molina in short has a habit of being exactly
08:55where the trouble is thiago almada placed in the scuffle near garcia and pairs carries the
08:59heaviest off-field baggage of the group in 2020 while at vela's sarsfield he was accused alongside
09:04others of sexual abuse at a party charged in 2021 under aggravating circumstances and later
09:09absolved by argentine courts in 2022 the case also documented in brazilian press led to a
09:15temporary club suspension before the acquittal his disciplinary cv isn't clean either in mls with
09:20atlanta united in 2022 he was suspended for aggressive behavior and physical contact with
09:25a match official after a game and zo fernandez already off the field but back on it to confront
09:30gabby verbally arrives with the most politically charged history of all his name is permanently
09:35tied to the 2024 copa america racist and transphobic chant a moment he inflicted on himself
09:40by live streaming teammates singing a derogatory song targeting the ethnicity of french players
09:44the fallout was enormous his chelsea teammate wesley fafana called it uninhibited racism his
09:49club opened an internal disciplinary process and the french football federation filed a formal
09:54complaint with fifa he apologized and the storm eventually passed without a major sporting ban
09:59nicolas atemendi the man joining at rodri after the whistle is a walking disciplinary ledger the metro
10:04reported his post-match complaint accusing rodri and imeric laporte of crying to referees all
10:10tournament it's a rich accusation from a man whose own record is this colorful a straight red
10:14against ecuador in september 2025 for denying a goal scoring opportunity that carried over and
10:19made him miss the start of this very world cup and a 2021 incident in which he elbowed rafinha escaped
10:24a card on the field and saw conmebol later suspend the officials who missed it the spanish side of the
10:29ledger reads very differently mostly as victims rather than aggressors eric garcia the man pairs
10:34throttled is no brawler his handful of red cards are the tactical kind professional fouls denying clear
10:40goal scoring chances collected for barcelona against the likes of athletic balbao and atletico
10:44madrid gavi who threw himself into the fray to defend a teammate is the one spaniard whose
10:49combustible streak is genuinely well documented his career is stitched with yellow cards the byproduct of
10:54a fearless all-action style that treats every 50 50 as a personal duel he's had his flashpoints
11:00too a training ground challenge on rodri so ferocious that his own coach had to publicly defend it
11:05minor internal friction at barcelona and accusations of stray elbows and gestures in
11:09the heat of big games against atletico and even vinicius jr rodri the composed captain caught by
11:15molina's swing is largely a disciplinarian's dream the metronome at the base of both city and spain
11:19though not entirely spotless in 2026 he was fined 80 000 pounds by the fa without a ban for implying
11:25referee bias after a tottenham game and earlier at this very tournament he named a brief post-match
11:29taunt at former teammate bernardo silva during spain's win over portugal an act he later walked back
11:34with an apology world cup era wls since 1930 the world cup has been a theater of violence since
11:42the day it was born and argentina has been at the center of a startling number of its ugliest chapters
11:46it started quite literally at the beginning at the very first world cup in 1930 the tournament's
11:51inaugural sending off went to peruse captain in a match riddled with scuffles and a broken romanian
11:56leg and argentina announced itself in the most brutal fashion imaginable in the semi-final against
12:00the united states an american suffered a broken leg inside 10 minutes another had teeth kicked out
12:05a third was hospitalized and the american trainer charged onto the pitch only to smash a bottle of
12:10chloroform and be overcome by his own fumes argentina won six one amid what the chroniclers
12:15of that first tournament describe as relentless brutality the final against uruguay was worse still
12:20off the pitch argentina's luis monte received death threats fans were searched for weapons and
12:24after uruguay's four two win the argentine players were stoned as they fled to the port under police
12:29escort while riots erupted back in buenos airs the decades that followed produced a hall of infamy
12:34the 1938 battle of bordeaux between brazil and czechoslovakia broke a leg and an arm and required
12:39a replay the 1954 battle of burn between hungary and brazil spilled into the dressing rooms left a
12:45coach needing stitches and prompted english referee arthur ellis to famously label the players animals
12:50the match against which all football violence is still measured is the 1962 battle of santiago chile
12:56against italy featured the first foul after 12 seconds ascending off inside eight minutes that
13:00required police to drag the player away a broken nose delivered by an unpunished punch and four
13:05separate police interventions it was so lawless that referee canistan later invented the yellow and red
13:10card system partly because of argentina meanwhile kept authoring its own chapters and many of them
13:15were wrapped in the bitter rivalry with england the 1966 wembley scandal saw captain antonio raton
13:21sent off for descent refused to leave for nearly eight minutes sit on the carpet reserved for the
13:25queen and crushing english corner flag after which argentine players assaulted the referee and
13:29officials and england manager alf ramsey branded the argentines animals and refused to swap shirts
13:34it's the match widely seen as the genesis of the entire england argentina feud two decades on came
13:40the flip side of the coin maradona's 1986 hand of god the illegal goal he later described as revenge
13:46for the falklands war followed minutes later by the goal of the century and then the nadir the 1990 world
13:51cup final a cynical ill-tempered west germany win in which argentina became the first team to
13:56have a player sent off in a final two of them pedro monzan and gustavo desati with maradona booked for
14:01descent and the whole spectacle described by the telegraph as a disgrace the modern era only added to
14:06the file the 1998 round of 16 against england delivered the david beckham red card after diego
14:12simone's provocation a night still woven into every england argentina preview then came 2006 and one of the
14:19clearest precedents for what happened in new jersey a post-penalty shootout mass brawl against
14:23germany in which substitute lindro kafre kicked per mertesacker maxi rodriguez threw punches
14:27including at bastion schweinsteiger and officials from both sides piled in that same 2006 tournament
14:33gave us the card record the 16 yellows and four reds of the battle of nuremberg between portugal and
14:38the netherlands and in 2022 argentina were front and center again in the ferocious battle of lucille
14:43against the netherlands a quarterfinal of 17 yellow cards messi accusing wout weghorst of
14:49provocation and emiliano martinez's vulgar gestures after the shootout on the very run that ended with
14:54them lifting the trophy the file doesn't stop at the fists either it bleeds into the shadowy off-pitch
14:59corners of the argentine story there's the lingering holy water mystery of 1990 when brazil's branco
15:04alleged that argentina had handed him a bottle of water laced with a sedative during their round of
15:0916 clash an accusation never proven but never quite forgot there's the long grim thread of
15:14bara brava violence organized fan groups whose history of fights deaths and political infiltration
15:19has trailed the national team across tournaments for the best part of a century and there's the
15:23flip side that complicates the villains portrait in a 2023 qualifier at the americana when the stands
15:28erupted into violence it was messy and his players who waded into the crowd to shield supporters
15:33including children argentina's story on the biggest stage has always been this exact
15:37contradiction breathtaking football and ugly aftermath tangled together in the same shirt
15:43what fifa has done and what comes next fifa's framework treats a scene like the 2026 final
15:49under the headings of assault violent conduct and team misconduct and the punishments have followed
15:54a fairly consistent shape across the years match bans fines occasionally probation and much more rarely
15:59federation level penalties to gauge what pairs is facing you look at the precedents and they are
16:04instructive go back to the 1966 wembley scandal ratten was banned for four international
16:09matches two teammates got three match bans for assaulting officials and the argentine federation
16:14was fined a maximum at the time sum that the press mocked as powder puff the single most relevant
16:19precedent is 2006 because it is almost a mirror of 2026 a post whistle argentina brawl reviewed on video
16:26after the fact the sanctions that followed the germany scuffle are the numbers everyone is now reaching for
16:31lindro kaffray who kicked out got a four match ban and a fine maxi rodriguez who threw punches got
16:36two matches in a fine and germany's torsten frings caught on video punching julio cruz was hit with a
16:42one match ban that cost him the semi-final plus a fine in six months probation crucially fifa reached for
16:47the video even after initially signaling there'd be no german sanctions proof that being off camera to
16:53the referee is no protection at all other cases fill in the range when an individual act of violence is
16:58severe the band's climb zinding zitting's 2006 final headbutt brought a three match ban and a fine
17:03and luis suarez's bite in 2014 famously earned nine matches when the offense is collective in
17:09discipline rather than a single assault fifa tends to reach for the checkbook instead after the 2010
17:14final it fined both federations for their players cards the netherlands more heavily than spain without
17:19handing out extra individual bands the battle of nuremberg for all its record-breaking card count drew more
17:24criticism of the referee than of the players the through line is clear fifa rarely reaches for
17:29multi-year bans or federation exclusions for a straightforward player brawl those weapons
17:33are reserved for match fixing racism and political interference most of the time the answer is a
17:38short to medium ban served in the next competitive window plus a fine there's a federation level dimension
17:43too and it's one argentina should watch closely when the disorder is collective or when it drags
17:48supporters and staff into the mess fifa has historically reached past the individuals to
17:52fine the association itself after the fan violence at the 2023 brazil argentina qualifier
17:58at the americana the brazilian fa was fined a five-figure sum the argentine fa a smaller one
18:03and argentina were additionally ordered to invest in anti-discrimination projects and close a section
18:08of seats for a future match given that the 2026 scenes combined a brawl a mass trophy snub a foul
18:14heavy performance and a squad that had already drawn a malvina's banner complaint the team misconduct
18:19and failure to control players articles are very much in play and hovering over all of it is the
18:24oldest complaint in the fifa disciplinary story that the punishments never quite match the crime
18:28the 1966 sanctions were mocked as powderpuff the 2006 frings ban delivered via video after an initial
18:34hands-off signal was decried in germany as selective enforcement the battle of nuremberg produced more
18:40criticism of the referee than of the players time and again fans and media have argued that post-whistle
18:45violence the cold unnecessary kind committed when the ball is dead and the result is settled
18:50deserves a heavier deterrent than a mistimed tackle in open play that argument is being made again now
18:55louder than ever and fifa knows the whole world is watching to see whether it listens so what does that
19:00mean for the men of the 2026 final as of the day after fifa had issued no formal sanctions but
19:05a
19:05disciplinary committee review is widely expected and the confirmed on-pitch actions give it plenty to
19:10chew on pareds is the headline the throat grab and open hand strike on garcia the wrestling and face
19:14shoving of gavi the ripped bib all after an earlier yellow set against the precedents that
19:19looks like far more than the automatic single game kafre got four matches for a single kick
19:23frings got a ban plus probation for one punch a throat grab layered on top of multiple aggressions
19:28points reporters toward a two to four match ban or more with a fine likely molina could face a one
19:33to
19:33three match ban if the video confirms his strike on rodri the assistant coach reported to have struck
19:38danny almo could be barred from the technical area and the argentine federation itself could be
19:43defined for team misconduct and failure to control its players especially given the
19:47collective nature of the scenes and the tournament long criticism of argentina's approach thank you for
