In the 87th minute of the round of 16 match between England and Nigeria at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, Lauren James was sent off for stamping on Nigerian defender Michelle Alozie. The incident occurred as the two players were jostling for position in the box. James's foot made contact with Alozie's back, and the referee immediately showed her a red card.

The red card left England with 10 players for the remainder of the match, and they were forced to defend for their lives in extra time. However, they were able to hold on to a 0-0 draw, and they eventually won the penalty shootout 4-2.

James's red card was a major talking point after the match, and it is likely to be reviewed by FIFA. If she is found guilty of violent conduct, she could face a lengthy ban
