Chinanews.com, January 14 (Xinhua) On the 13th local time, FIFA announced that the FIFA Disciplinary Committee will investigate the misconduct of the Argentine team in the Qatar World Cup final.
According to the documents released on the FIFA website, the FIFA Disciplinary Committee made five decisions this time, punishing the Ecuadorian Football Association, the Mexican Football Association, and the Serbian Football Association respectively, and announced the punishment results.

It is shown in this document that the FIFA Disciplinary Committee has filed a lawsuit against the Argentine Football Federation because the Argentine team’s actions may have violated Article 11 of the FIFA Disciplinary Regulations (offensive behavior and violation of the principle of fair play) and Article 11. 12 (Misconduct by players and officials).
And during the World Cup final between Argentina and France, the former may have violated the Qatar World Cup regulations on media and marketing work.
Some media analysts said that once the violation is established, the Argentine team may face high financial penalties.
However, the documents released this time did not specifically mention what specific actions of the Argentine team in the World Cup led to the investigation.
Some foreign media said that the investigation may be related to the indecent behavior of the Argentine goalkeeper Martinez at the Qatar World Cup awards ceremony.
The picture shows the Argentine team winning the Hercules Cup.
In the Qatar World Cup that ended at the end of last year, Argentina, under the leadership of Messi and others, won the Hercules Cup again after 36 years.
In the final, they defeated the defending champion France 7:5 after a penalty shootout.
After the news was exposed, it also sparked heated discussions among netizens.

At present, the investigation against the Argentine team is in the initial stage, and the specific results have not yet been known.
I believe that in the near future, FIFA will give a corresponding judgment.
In fact, as early as before the end of the World Cup, FIFA punished teams that violated the rules during the group stage.
Croatia has been fined 50,000 Swiss francs for verbally attacking Canadian goalkeeper Boryan during a group match against Canada.
Serbia was fined 20,000 Swiss francs by the Kosovo Football Association for hanging a controversial flag in the dressing room during the group match against Brazil.
Saudi Arabia received two fines of 15,000 Swiss francs for six yellow cards in group matches against Argentina and Mexico.
In addition, in the announced results of investigations into irregularities during the World Cup, the Ecuadorian Football Association, the Mexican Football Association, and the Serbian Football Association were fined 20,000 Swiss francs, 100,000 Swiss francs, and 50,000 Swiss francs respectively.
The FIFA Disciplinary Committee also announced the launch of an investigation against the Croatian Football Association.
