It means James can’t be selected for Saturday’s quarterfinal against Colombia in Sydney and will also be out of commission if the Lionesses advance to the semis. “Lauren is really sorry for her actions which led to the red card and is full of remorse.

After a review from the video assistant referee (VAR), the punishment was upgraded to a red card, leaving England to finish the match down a player. England's Lauren James has been banned for two games after she was sent off for a stamp on Nigeria's Michelle Alozie.

Alessia Russo gave the European champions the perfect start with a goal in the fourth minute and Lauren Hemp and James added two more to give England a comfortable lead at the break at Hindmarsh Stadium. Without the injured Keira Walsh as the holding midfielder, England shifted to a 3-5-2 formation and caused havoc for China with balls into the box from the flanks. "The team showed that they're really adaptable ... that we can change shape very easily, that's what we showed tonight." It was a record World Cup defeat for Asian champions and 1995 semi-finalists China, who exit in the group stage for the first time in eight appearances at the global showpiece. "It's very unfortunate that we had this terrible loss," said China coach Shui Qingxia.

"Again, another day of what dreams are made of," James said as she left the field. However, after a VAR review Lucy Bronze was found to be offside in the build-up, and the goal was chalked off. "Yeah, I was disappointed in the moment obviously, but that's football for you, and in the moment I just had to refocus for the game to continue," James told a press conference. True to form, England coach Sarina Wiegman gently steered the discussion away from James' individual brilliance and back to the collective performance. "I think you could see it from the whole team, that we were enjoying ourselves, you could tell that we were really connected," Wiegman told reporters.
