# England Forward Lauren James Apologizes for Red Card and Promises to Learn from Experience
England forward Lauren James has apologized for her red card during the Women’s World Cup last-16 win over Nigeria and says she will learn from the experience. James will be suspended for Saturday’s quarter-final against Colombia.
“All my love and respect to you. I am sorry for what happened,” she said on social media to Alozie. “Also, for our England fans and my team-mates, playing with and for you is my greatest honour and I promise to learn from my experience.”
## Lauren James: A Rising Star in Women’s Football
The 21-year-old was one of the stars of England’s group games, with three goals and three assists. She has been a rising star in women’s football since making her debut for the national team in 2019.
James has been praised for her skill, speed, and creativity on the pitch. She has also been praised for her leadership off the pitch, as she was named captain of the England Under-21 team in 2020.
## Red Card Suspension Could Last More Than One Game
Fifa could extend her ban to more than one game – which could see her miss the rest of the tournament even if England go all the way. Nigeria’s Alozie, who plays for Houston Dash in the US, had posted: “We are playing on the world’s stage. This game is one of passion, insurmountable emotions, and moments. All respect for Lauren James.”
After the game, England boss Sarina Wiegman said: “She is inexperienced on this stage and in a split-second lost her emotions. It isn’t something she did on purpose. She apologised and felt really bad. She would never want to hurt someone. She is the sweetest person I know.”
