FIFA Initiates Disciplinary Action Against Argentina Over World Cup Final Conduct

Zurich. FIFA has initiated disciplinary proceedings against Argentina for the defeat in the World Cup final against Spain and the behavior shown throughout the entire tournament.

After being defeated 1-0 by Spain at the New York New Jersey Stadium last July, many Argentine players and officials got into a scuffle with Spanish players as soon as the final whistle blew. FIFA appointed a disciplinary and ethics prosecutor last week to study the incident.
