Today, England's women's soccer team advanced to the last eight of the World Cup after eliminating Nigeria on penalties in a thrilling World Cup match. However, the match climaxed with Lauren James receiving a brutal red card ejection for inadvertently stamping on an opponent's lower back. After the match, England women's soccer coach Wegman gave insight into the young player's situation.
At that moment, the game was winding down and the players were exhausted," Wegmann lamented. Lauren was a little young for the World Cup, but her performance deserved recognition. However, her emotional outburst brought her to an instant low. She had no intention of hurting anyone, she is the gentlest girl I know, but accidents like this happen and we can't reverse them."
He continued, "It was definitely a lesson learned, but Lauren didn't mean to do it. I have communicated with her and told her that everyone has impulsive moments. It was an incredibly intense game with a mix of emotions, and her emotions were completely out of control in that moment. Of course, she has sincerely apologized and is deeply remorseful, and she in no way intended to hurt anyone."
