Argentine President Milley recently commented on the national team players holding up signs for the Falkland Islands, saying the action was "understandable."
According to British media reports, on the eve of the World Cup final against Spain, Millay responded to the players' previous placard-raising behavior. He stated clearly: "The Falkland Islands belong to Argentina, and we will reclaim them through diplomatic channels." Millay also confirmed that he would not travel to the United States to watch the final live, but would remain in Oliveros to continue watching the game, calling it his superstition.
Millais believes that players expressing their emotions is "completely valid and legitimate" and should not be misinterpreted. He said, "This is how all Argentinians feel. The players wanted to express themselves, and they did, so I don't think it should cause any misunderstandings or misinterpretations."
He also revealed that FIFA might fine Argentina $30,000, but there would be no further consequences. "What happens on the field is not a matter of diplomacy. The worst-case scenario is that Argentina will be fined $30,000 by FIFA, and there won't be any more serious consequences than that."
