Before her two-match suspension, Lauren James was emerging as one of the world's biggest stars. Can she lead England to a World Cup title in her return?
, the infraction was instantly reminiscent of similar moments of madness that torpedoed England’s men at multiple World Cups past, with one notable difference: while thelost on penalties after David Beckham saw red against Argentina in 1998 and after Wayne Rooney was dismissed for stomping on Portugal’s Ricardo Carvalho again eight years later, theJames still got suspended for two games, though — a major blow to the title hopes of a squad already decimated by injury.
Despite quickly apologizing to and being forgiven by Alozie — and despite the fact England won the match – James braced herself in anticipation of a similar deluge, disabling comments on her Instagram feed. None of it would've been nearly enough to protect James had England gone on to lose its quarterfinal toin the semis without her. James would've spent the next several years, maybe longer, being reminded of the worst moment of her professional life at every turn. Careers have been ruined over less.
