Argentina Player Relatives Detained in US After World Cup Final Brawl

New reports say several family members of Argentina’s squad were detained by US authorities after altercations erupted in their spectator box following the World Cup final loss to Spain. Sources claim police arrested at least a dozen relatives linked to the players, though US officials have yet to confirm the exact number or any charges. On the pitch, Argentina’s Leandro Paredes received a straight red card for grabbing Spain’s Eric Garcia by the throat and kicking him during a mass confrontation. Teammates then rushed towards the stands. Spain substitute Ferran Torres later struck the lone goal in extra time, capping a dominant display as Argentina managed only two shots in 120 minutes.
