FIFA opened an investigation against the AFA (Argentine Football Association) after the controversial events that followed Argentina's victory on penalties against the Netherlands in the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Qatar. The Disciplinary Commission opened proceedings against the Argentines for possible violations of articles 12 (Improper conduct of players and referees) and 16 (Order and security in matches) of the FIFA Disciplinary Code.

What can happen to him? The speculation is that, if the investigation proceeds, there may be some economic sanction against the Argentines. The case of the investigation against Uruguay after being eliminated in a controversial match against Ghana has a substantial difference with Argentina.

Although it has not yet been resolved, the truth is that the FIFA investigation was directed at four players from the Uruguay's national team: José María Giménez, Edinson Cavani, Fernando Muslera and Diego Godín. A Clockwork Orange is also in the entity's sights.

Of course, it's not just the post-match statements by Lionel Messi ("A FIFA referee has to be on another level") and the goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez ("They wanted the game to be a tie", they were very hard on the referee, but also the crosses that occurred during the goal celebration, as in the play by Lisandro Paredes, as well as the provocations by Nicolás Otamendi against the Europeans after the penalties.

Messi in the sights of FIFA

By the way, the Paris Saint-Germain player was pointed out by FIFA to be sanctioned. While he was giving an interview to his country's television, number 10 stared at a Dutchman and began to argue: “What are you looking at, silly?”. For the attitude, Leo can even be punished.
