Lauren James, England Star, Restricts Comments on Instagram Account Following Red Card

Limiting comments on her Instagram account, Lauren James, the England star, has taken action amid potential backlash following her red card in the Women’s World Cup.

The Chelsea player stamped on the back of Nigeria’s Michelle Alozie during the last-16 clash, resulting in her dismissal after a VAR review.

With the Lionesses playing with 10 players through extra time, they eventually advanced to the next stage after winning 4-2 on penalties.

Immediately after the game, the 21-year-old James restricted who could post comments on her Instagram account, which has 568,000 followers.

It seems that the forward was anticipating a possible flood of negative comments regarding her actions on the field.
