The despicable British journalist Piers Morgan once again sparked outrage after the historic victory of the Argentine National Team against England in the semifinals of the 2026 World Cup. The communicator, known for his fanatical support of Cristiano Ronaldo and his fierce criticism of Lionel Messi, did not take long to react violently on social media.

It all started when the Argentine players displayed a flag reaffirming national sovereignty over the Falkland Islands at the end of the match. That image, which filled fans with emotion, provoked Morgan's fury, who shared the photo and wrote a message filled with anger.

“Classless cretins,” the Englishman exclaimed, adding that he hoped Spain would crush Argentina in the final just as the United Kingdom did in the Falklands War.

The flag that ignited everything

The white cloth with the inscription “The Falklands are Argentine” became the star of the celebration. According to Gonzalo Montiel after the match, the flag appeared almost by chance and the players took it with pride. A fan had managed to bring it in despite the prohibitions and handed it to the stars.

It was later revealed that the makeshift flag was painted by a relative of a user on a hotel sheet. Giovani Lo Celso brought it to the center of the field, and Leandro Paredes, when asked about the matter, was clear: “They will always be Argentine. We couldn't let the Argentine people down.”

Morgan, who has also shown enthusiasm for controversial causes such as support for Hamas, received responses reminding him of both the historical theft of the islands and the current reality of the United Kingdom. “Before the war, you stole them,” “pirates cannot give lessons in class,” and mentions of the defeat in 1982 were some of the most shared replies.

Between football and history

While Argentina dreams of another star in the World Cup, Morgan tried to tarnish the moment with a very distasteful war reference.

Tabloid journalism was once again exposed, as mixing a football match with the memory of those fallen in the Falklands generated rejection even among neutrals. Argentines celebrated the victory on the field and also the opportunity to reaffirm the just claim over the sovereignty of the islands.
