It looks like Evans will have to explain his gesture.

Details: A real scandal erupted after yesterday's Germany vs Curaçao match due to the actions of 38-year-old Australian VAR assistant referee Shaun Evans.

Reports say that television cameras caught Evans making a gesture associated with far-right and racist movements. During one segment, when the VAR room was shown, Evans displayed an inverted "OK" sign, which is known as a symbol of white supremacy among supporters of far-right ideologies and racism.

At the moment, FIFA has launched an official investigation into Evans, and if he is found guilty, he faces not only suspension from the World Cup but a total ban from any sporting activities.
