Pourquoi c'est important
Argentina lost the World Cup final to Spain 1-0 in July.
Fifa has opened disciplinary proceedings against Argentina over their behaviour after their World Cup final loss to Spain and throughout the tournament. Last week, the world governing body appointed a disciplinary and ethics prosecutor to assess what happened after the final whistle at the New York New Jersey Stadium, with multiple Argentina players and backroom staff involved in altercations with Spain players following their 1-0 loss in July. On the recommendation of the prosecutor, Fifa will investigate Argentina players Nahuel Molina (two counts) and Leandro Paredes (three counts), and Argentina assistant coach Roberto Ayala (one count) for alleged assault under article 14 of Fifa's disciplinary code. Molina may also face disciplinary action for one count of alleged unsporting behaviour under article 14. Team-mate Thiago Almada and Spain midfielder Gavi are also accused of the same breach. Under Fifa's disciplinary code, players and officials face at least a one-match suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct and at least three matches for assault.
