At the summit of world football, where billions watch and every gesture carries meaning, Argentine midfielder Leandro Paredes has been handed a ten-match ban by FIFA following an altercation during the World Cup final. The governing body extended its judgment beyond the individual, fining Argentina as a nation — a signal that collective culture, not merely personal failing, is now under scrutiny. The punishment arrives as a quiet but firm reminder that the sport's grandest stage demands its highest standards of conduct.
