Argentina's VP mocks England with video of Falklands invasion after World Cup semi-final
Argentina's Vice President shared footage of soldiers invading the Falkland Islands and claimed the archipelago was Argentine after the World Cup semi-final.
Victoria Villarruel, deputy to Javier Milei, shared what appeared to be a segment of documentary footage from her country's failed invasion of the Falklands.
The clip featured Argentine soldiers waltzing onto the British Overseas Territory in 1982, while a voiceover is heard saying: "The British wanted to send them home."
Ms Villarruel shared the video with the caption: "Thank you Enzo, Thank you Lautaro, Thank you Argentina National Team for giving us one more joy! It wasn't just another match!"

She went on to continue her anti-English crusade with another post declaring: "The Falklands are Argentine... They banned bringing (flags) to the stadium and forgot that we carry them in our blood and our hearts."
On Tuesday morning, Ms Villarruel branded England "usurping pirates" as she issued a rallying cry to her nation on their quest to the World Cup final.
She wrote: "Tomorrow we play against the usurping pirates. This isn't just another match. I'm not going to be politically correct or cold-hearted; against the English, it's always something more.
"It's the Malvinas, it's Diego, it's Leo's last one, and it's putting the brakes on the invaders.
"Go Argentina! Because until our last breath, we're going to claim what's ours!"
Her own boss Mr Milei was forced to distance himself from her remarks as pre-match tensions came to a head.
"We must not fall into cheap, populist and stale nationalist slogans," the President declared.
He then insisted on "not mixing things up", saying: "I understand that it is difficult, but the Falklands are recovered with wise diplomacy and not with cheap and tawdry gestures of patriotism which, if one were to take that to the international level, would be truly of poor and very bad characteristics."
