Good spirit Michael Alozie my favourite Super Falcon. Even though you missed the penalty and the other scoring chance. You are still greatly loved and respected. Ride on girl.
Lauren James should have apologised to Alozie there and then on the pitch if she was sorry. James is hoping these apologies on Twitter will influence FIFA to reduce her ban.
If England had lost and eventually crashed out…….James would have cursed the day she first wore an England Jersey….LMAoooo.
She is already being slagged off. Give those idiots a step, they take a mile. She is indeed so so lucky England progressed.
@CHIMA E SAMUEL tell your FRIEND FOOL MARSHALL that am ready for him now..am not like others who are probably scared of his STINKY MOUTH he should come out and lets go to the GUTTERS
Game recognise game.
But please Lauren, don’t do that again, it’s very unprofessional. Just like your physical lookalike in the world of tennis (Naomi Osaka), the latest mom, who’s currently struggling with getting back to the top of her game on court after all her needless “press meltdowns”; these “little things” could make or mar one’s career, if taken very lightly……so, please, learn from this whole episode, and be a better young woman, going forward
Omo, the incredible resemblance of James to Osaka is something else.
Doppelganger stuff.
One can easily be a stunt double for the other.
I don’t know for how much longer Africans will suffer from Stockholm Syndrome.
