She will now miss the quarterfinal match in opposition to Colombia in Sydney on Saturday, and a doable recreation within the semifinals.

James has been one of many stars of the match, scoring three targets and offering three extra assists as England superior as Group D winner.

She has apologized for her conduct in getting a pink card.

“Obviously she’s disappointed with what happened on the day,” England ahead Beth England mentioned. “It was a cut up second, emotional second that occurred. We’ve bought round her. It is sweet that she’s acknowledged that and put her apology out and now we simply wait to see what FIFA do and we simply transfer on from it now.”
