ANTHONY TAYLOR was reportedly barred from taking charge of Argentina's World Cup final win over France.<\/strong><\/p>\n Last year's Qatar final saw Lionel Messi triumph over then-PSG teammate Kylian Mbappe in a thrilling penalty shootout.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Instead, Szymon Marciniak of Poland was chosen to take charge of the showpiece event.<\/p>\n And the Times claims Fifa made its decision to avoid any conflict between an English referee and Argentina due to issues regarding the Falkland Islands.<\/p>\n As a result, Taylor was never in the running to be selected.<\/p>\n Fifa maintains a policy of neutrality in matches, with an Argentine ref also unable to officiate games involving England.<\/p>\n There are no suggestions a referee could be influenced in their decision making.<\/p>\n But Fifa's policy comes so there's no chance of a situation arising regarding claims of bias.<\/p>\n Animosity around the Falklands War was displayed following Argentina\u2019s semi-final win over Croatia.<\/p>\n Players were heard singing a chant popular with their fans called Muchachos – which references the Falklands War and aims insults at England and Brazil.<\/p>\n <\/picture>SAUDI SANCHO <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>TERRY’S AL GOLD <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>WREX BOMB <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>GET WELL STEVE <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n Nicolas Otamendi was filmed shirtless as Argentina players sung "Ingleses putos de Malvinas no me olvido", which has a rough translation of "f***ing English in the Falklands, I don't forget".<\/p>\n The full chant goes: "Brazilian, what happened, the five-time champions screwed up.<\/p>\n "Messi went to Rio and he left with the cup [in reference to their Copa America win on Brazilian soil]. <\/p>\n "We are the Argentine band and we will always cheer them on, because we have the dream of being the world champion.<\/p>\n "I'm like that, I am Argentinian, f***ing English in the Falklands, I don't forget. I'm like that, I encourage you, I follow Argentina everywhere."<\/p>\n Taylor did eventually get a chance to referee a major final as Roma faced Sevilla in last season's Europa League showpiece in Budapest.<\/p>\n The Spanish side won and Roma's Jose Mourinho raged over some of his decisions.<\/p>\n The Portuguese manager was so fuming with Taylor's officiating that he waited for him in the stadium car park before unleashing an X-rated rant. <\/p>\n Taylor was then confronted and abused by angry Roma fans at the airport in shocking scenes.<\/p>\nMost read in Football<\/h2>\n
