Fifa, world football’s governing body, usually suppresses political displays in stadiums. A spokesman told The Telegraph that its independent disciplinary committee was assessing the match reports and considering the relevant circumstances before deciding on potential further steps.
The deputy spokesman for Sir Keir Starmer, the outgoing prime minister, said on Thursday, in response to the post-match goading: “The World Cup might not be ours, but the Falkland Islands definitely are.”
Peter Kyle, the Business Secretary, said on Times Radio: “I think the way the England team acted is the perfect contrast, and really shows them for their own behaviour. And when it comes to the rest of it, Fifa needs to take the action that needs to happen.”
