The 31-year-old went to see the Chelsea striker after the final whistle, as England celebrated their hard-earned win. Bronze told James: 'We've made it through. It's a team, it's not just one player.' James went on to apologise for her actions on Tuesday, with the 21-year-old at risk of missing the rest of the World Cup. Alozie tweeted a message of support, writing: 'We are playing on the world stage. The game is one of passion, insurmountable emotions and moments. All respect for Lauren James.' James replied: 'All my love and respect to you. I am sorry for what happened. Also, for our England fans and teammates, playing with and for you is my greatest honour and I promise to learn from my experience.' HAVE YOUR SAY! What should be England's starting line-up against Colombia? Comment below. James will serve an automatic one-match ban, which could be upgraded to three games. The young star is being supported by her parents and England 'family', while the FA will make a case to FIFA in a bid to prevent an extension of her ban. 'Lauren is really sorry for her actions which led to the red card and is full of remorse. It is wholly out of character for her. We will be supporting Lauren throughout and will be putting forward representation on her behalf," the statement rea){kind=link}
