Fresh for her shock red card in Monday's crunch match against Nigeria, England Women's player Lauren James is contemplating what could turn out to be her tournament-ending deliberate stamp on defender Michelle Alozie. Ultimately, the Lionesses ran out as winners thanks to cool heads across the penalty shootout, but when they face Columbia in the World Cup quarter-final on Saturday, they'll be without one of the finest talents. However, a further sucker punch may materialise if FIFA's disciplinary committee choose to extend Lauren's ban to three games, which would render her ineligible for the remainder of the tournament.
Her team-mate Lucy Bronze said of Lauren, 21, in a post-Nigeria interview: "Obviously she’s going to be disappointed in herself. I went straight off the pitch after the game to make sure she was OK. "Obviously she was a little bit upset and rightfully so and more than anything she just feels bad for the team.
I said to her, 'We’ve made it through. It’s a team, it’s not just one player.'" Lucy, 31, who plays as a right-back for Barcelona domestically, went on to further reflect: "Although LJ is the youngest in the team, she’s had to mature from a young age because she’s been thrown into the spotlight, whether that’s to do with her brother (Chelsea star Reece James) and her family, or that she’s a fantastic player on her own. "In the last game, everyone put the spotlight on her.
She deals with it very, very well. She likes hanging around with the older players, myself, Jordan (Nobbs), Alex Greenwood, we are the three that she comes to asking for advice. "LJ didn’t start the first game, she didn’t feature at all during the Euros.
