The English national soccer team, led by head coach Gareth Southgate, came from behind to win 2-1 against Slovakia in the round of 16 of Euro 2024 at Arena Aufshalke in Gelsenkirchen, Germany on the 1st (Korea time).
England were taken away by Ivan Schranz in the 25th minute of the first half, but they succeeded in advancing to the quarterfinals with Bellingham's dramatic score in the second half and Harry Kane's come-from-behind goal in the first half of extra time.
In particular, Bellingham opened the Slovak goal with a fantastic bicycle kick in the game, sending fans into a frenzy of excitement. Bellingham, who was named the most valuable player (POTM) after the game, did not hide his joy of victory.

After the scene became controversial, Bellingham said it was a prank and respected the opposition, but some media raised the possibility that Bellingham might miss out on future schedules, saying that `UEFA could consider Bellingham's actions to be a problem at the level of disciplinary action.'
For England, if Bellingham, the core of the team and a superstar, is lost, the team cannot avoid weakening its power in the schedule after the quarterfinals. Moreover, Bellingham's departure is more painful at a time when he has not completely overcome the poor performance that has continued since the group stage. However, UEFA may not discipline Bellingham right away, so it seems that the situation will have to be watched.

The Daily Mail in England said 'It's not clear exactly whether Bellingham said it to Kane or Kieran Trippier. Bellingham's eyes were not fixed in one place during the swearing-in, he said, adding that he did not know if Bellingham's swearing-in was directed at anyone.
Bellingham became the center of controversy with his hot personality and behavior as much as his ability. There was also a victory out of his desire to win, but caution is also needed for the rest of the tournament for a steady performance.
