I find this really interesting. For all the complaints about Khan he speaks really well here and is promoting cross faith goodwill, then you read the replies.

Situation where you literally can't win

Unfortunately unfurling a banner at a football match doesn't make the Malvinas 'yours'....gonna take a bit more than that.

Might get a bit of a cheer in that moment but you go back home and reality sets in.

Given the complex history and emotive nature of the subject, I think they have a right to think as the do, given the complexities of British history I can't in good faith be a critic of that. BUT it shouldn't manifest itself at a WC

I'd bet those players have little knowledge of the complex history.
Just the passed down Us v Them rhetoric

Of course, like many Brits who are critics. But thats part of what makes it complex IMO, these are hugely emotive subjects harvested in hugely emotive people and its part of their history. And in fairness its alot closer to home for them than it is for us

I think the French and the Spanish have had their moments of rule there. I'm not sure if Argentina ever have?
It's 300miles from them...why do they think it's important to them?.
There's hundreds of islands 'owned' by various countries around the world that just chug along as they are.

I'm surprised the French have never wanted the channel islands back tbh🤣

Tbh I'd happily, in principle (not considering the logistics), give the Falklands back to whoever....all these things ever stink of is dingdong swinging if I'm honest.
