What are FIFA playing at? Report from BBC:
"It was initially reported by FIFA that Paredes had been sent off by referee Slavko Vincic after he pushed Spain's Eric Garcia by the throat.
Paredes' red card was removed from the record shortly afterwards and FIFA has confirmed to BBC Sport that no disciplinary action was taken at the time."

Argentina's behaviour was disgustingly pathetic after the final whistle. People should not let it slide, as we have for so much that went on during the tournament. I just saw a video of Infantino's reaction after Spain's goal. We know it all starts at the top.

Remember when Van Dijk bodied him into row Z. ?

Yet again, raw game's world governing body has brought the game into disrepute. There is just way too much money in football. Havelange, Blatter and Infantino - 50 years plus between them in a golden age for money grabbers.
Like I said, let's get the World Cup up to 64 teams with increased representation from the Emirates, along with China and Russia - loads of money.

You can introduce as many teams as you want from whatever cash-rich region, but it won't change the fact that, when it comes down to the business end of the tournament, the vast majority of the teams will be European. FIFA without UEFA is nothing. I'd be ecstatic if UEFA chose to break away.

'Raw' is code for 'the' - No idea how that happened.

Despicable conduct indeed, ArAy1969. But as some have said, FIFA will let this shambolic showing of unsportman-like conduct slide.
As much as Argentina love being the villains, they can be a bunch of whiny, spoiled brats whenever they lose. Can dish it out but can't take it. The main quality of a bully until he gets punched right back in the mouth, something Spain did with honour, class and dignity.
