Super Falcons’ Michelle Alozie has expressed her dissatisfaction with Three Lions of England forward, Lauren James for not reaching out to apologise to her after she stepped on her buttocks at the 2023 Women’s World Cup.
Recall that James was sent off in the 87th minute after she brought Alozie to the ground and stepped on her.
Despite the England international tendering her apology via twitter handle for her action, Alozie, however, in a chat with Channels Television, stated that Lauren James is yet to reach out to her personally contrary to speculations.
“No, she did not reach out to me but the apology was on Twitter and Instagram,” the Houston Dash star said.
However, since the incident, Alozie’s photos have become regular memes for many social media users, a development she described as “funny”.
“I think it was kind of funny how it all came about. After the game, obviously, I was really upset and wasn’t really looking at my phone,” Alozie, who was featuring in her debut World Cup, said. “So, some of my teammates were like ‘Michelle, you have to see this photo of you maybe it would make you smile a little bit’ because I was kind of upset.”

The apology on twitter is enough.
Expect insults next
The public and open apology on Twitter is even better, move on Alozie and show her what you gat next time on the pitch.
This girl is seeking too much attention instead of moving on and focusing on her career. It’s becoming disgusting seems like we don’t have news anymore!!!
Considering the fact that she missed 2 chances should make her pipe down lol…
Ladies world, she miss two very good chances and even penalty yet nobody scode her, aiyegbeni still Dey collect wotowoto since 2010 till now for that his miss, we praise the falcon like the Spanish that won the cup have two head. Make she cool down joor.
Scold
In fact ehn, some fans even nicknamed him MISSISSIPPI.
Na wa for fans ooo!
Notice me girl, how much did you apologise for your mumu penalty, you want to be unnecesarily noticed and stupidly opted for your left leg to take a crucial penalty, it shows how disconnected you are to our national dream. A very careless display, there after you where smiling with ur opponent when your team mates are crying, a team that is supposed to be finalist or even possible champion you ruined it becos you dont know where we are coming from, all you knew is showcase your different colour boots cosing you to replace Your left leg for your rightleg, i like you and your contributions, but you are indeed a yeyelic,
You are even bidding to go and finaly showcase your i too know in bigbrother naija, my advice for you is to obtain your high level degree because you are wizy in academics, and dominate your football carear, start perfecting your rightback position both in club( tell your club coach you are not a good striker) and country, be the best of that position, the world will remember you for these sports and science professionality if you make impact in both, you dont need BBNaija, be satisfied, we already know you, you dont need to be a beach for us to appreciate you, madam Alozzie
I don’t know why you guys are just troubling yourself for how someone wants to be reached out to. That’s how she wants her apology and mental closure from the whole incident. She has every right to show her displeasure and say it out. If you don’t like it, go to hell. That’s what she wants and nobody can take it away from her. She has a right to be noticed and improve her brand by being on the news all the time. It’s her choice. You guys should let her be. She is already a celebrity and a popular loved one for that matter.
Thank you oooo
Too much NOISE upandan.
Did DEBORAH ABIODUN apologize for that CAREER ENDING tackle against the AUSTRALIAN player in our first match??
I don’t recall anyone making it a FUSS
ALOZIE everywhere
Which “career ending tackle” abegi?! It was a poor mistimed challenge rightly deserving of a red card upon VAR review but we’ve all seen much worse. Let’s not buy into this “physicality” BS narrative often being pushed upon African teams. Canada’s #5 had a very poor studs-up challenge on Oshoala that didn’t even warrant a warning.
And she don link up with davido now, dnt be surprise to see big tommy soon.
Her business, not yours.
Am I missing something here?
Michelle did not express dissatisfaction. The interviewer asked if James reached out to her.
See her reply for yourself. Watch from 19:00. Maybe she expressed dissatisfaction elsewhere, but based on this clip, she did not.
Indifferent better describes her reaction to James not reaching out personally. Not dissatisfaction.
Nowadays, your options for reaching out to someone are face to face, phone, email, and social media. James chose to utilize social media.
Is an apology on social media sufficient? The answer of course differs from person to person. An older person might expect James to go to Alozie’s residence in Houston TX and prostrate for her. Others may expect a phone call at a minimum. For most young people today however, millennials, Gen Z and Gen Alpha, their reality is inextricably tied to social media. To these young people, an apology in person or on phone is perhaps inferior to an apology on social media. For a simple reason. Apology on the phone or face to face is private, but apology on social media is public, in front of the whole world.
