British broadcaster 『BBC" reported on the 2nd (Korea time )"The UEFA has launched an investigation into Bellingham's gestures.'
The BBC is investigating gestures taken by England midfielder Bellingham in Sunday's Euro 2024 round of 16. UEFA said Bellingham may have broken the rules on keeping dignity.
Bellingham took the lead in a 2-1 victory against Slovakia in the round of 16 of Euro 2024 in Germany on the 1st.
Bellingham saved England from elimination with an overhead kick in second-half stoppage time, trailing 0-1. England, who went to extra time thanks to Bellingham, won the game with a come-from-behind goal from Harry Kane (Bayern Munich). England will face Switzerland in the quarterfinals at 1 a.m. on the 7th.
However, the joy was brief, and Bellingham's ceremony became a problem. After scoring, he made a move that looked like he was clutching his crotch with his right hand. It could be interpreted as an insult to Slovakia.
The BBC showed Bellingham grabbing a crotch at the Slovak bench. If found to have violated the rules, Bellingham could face suspension or fine or both,' it noted.
The BBC reported 'The problematic rules are the provisions on ethical behavior, loyalty integrity and the principles of sportsmanship. It can be applied to anyone who violates the rules of offensive or polite conduct'
The Associated Press reported 'UEFA appointed a disciplinary investigator to identify the incident. If UEFA decides that Bellingham has broken the rules, Bellingham risks failing to make it to the quarterfinals against Switzerland. However, given similar cases in the past, he predicted that the fine is likely.

Bellingham is an internal joke directed at his close colleagues. I have nothing but respect for Slovakia, he has evolved.
According to the Associated Press, Cristiano Ronaldo paid a fine of 20,000 euros (about 30 million won) five years ago for making obscene gestures in the Champions League during his time at Juventus.
The BBC reported that Bellingham and England manager Gareth Southgate faced a nervous wait. It takes a few days for the investigation to be completed. Bellingham is more likely to be fined than suspended. It depends on how Bellingham explains it and how Slovakia accepts it.
