00:47The video attached to the post contains no evidence to back up the allegations, and a community note at the
00:53bottom highlights that Argentina lost the final because it had zero shots on target during the match.
00:58Another claim circulating online alleges that FIFA forced Argentina to either lose the final or face a 10-year ban
01:06from the World Cup after players unfurled a banner with the message the Falkland Islands are Argentine following their victory
01:13over England in the semi-finals.
01:15However, there's no evidence that any such threat occurred. Reports state that FIFA is looking into the matter, but no
01:22official sanction has so far been announced.
01:24Article 34.3 of the World Cup's rules banned the display of political messages before, during and after any matches.
01:32Another conspiracy alleges that Argentina's players and their families were threatened before the World Cup final, using a clip showing
01:40captain Lionel Messi encouraging his teammates as evidence.
01:44But Argentina's manager Lionel Scaloni and some of the players' families have confirmed that no external pressure was applied on
01:52them.
