FIFA and its decision to pull Argentina out after Messi stepped on Mexico's jersey

The match between Mexico and Argentina left an interesting image once the game was over. It turns out that during the celebration of the Argentine team in the dressing room of the Lusail Stadium, a video was revealed where you can see the Mexican team's shirt on the floor and Lionel Messi giving it, presumably unintentionally, a little kick with his right boot.

This act has been strongly criticized by a sector of the Mexican fans and they are sure that it is an act of disrespect towards a nation and that Lionel Messi has damaged a national symbol and has cleaned the floor with it. In view of this situation, FIFA would analyze the specific case in order to make a decision.

FIFA has been very clear during this World Cup about its possible sanctions to teams that attack against the culture, rules or disrespect towards other nations. Such is the case of the rainbow armbands that could not be worn by Germany and Belgium in this World Cup.

What will FIFA do to Argentina after the video?

The first thing that must happen to analyze the action is a complaint by the Mexican soccer federation regarding the action of the Argentine player. From there, and if it is proven that there really is an intention, FIFA could apply a strong economic sanction to the Argentine federation and Lionel Messi. The reality is that it is very unlikely that Argentina's participation in the World Cup is at risk.
