The outburst of emotions from England's national team midfielder Dele Alli during the World Cup qualifying match. In the match against Slovakia on September 4th, the 21-year-old Englishman made an indecent gesture, later claiming it was just a joke. FIFA decided that the offense could have been committed to insult the referee or an opponent and punished Alli with a one-game suspension. Furthermore, the player will have to pay a fine of 3800 pounds sterling. "Even if the gesture was not directed at a specific person, it is still unacceptable and unsportsmanlike behavior," FIFA said in a statement.
