England's Lauren James had an incredible performance during the Women's World Cup match against China, leading her team to a resounding 6-1 victory with two goals and three assists. Her outstanding performance left her beaming with pride. Unfortunately, a VAR review denied her a hat-trick, as one of her goals was ruled offside due to Lucy Bronze's positioning during the build-up.

Despite the disappointment, James remained resilient and focused, highlighting her team's success. Speaking about the game, she expressed her joy for the team and their progress to the next round of the tournament.

In the first half, James assisted Alessia Russo and Lauren Hemp before netting her goal, bringing the score to 3-0. Her spectacular shot into the top corner was disallowed after the VAR review, but she didn't let that dampen her spirit. In the 65th minute, she scored again, showcasing her impressive skills. Furthermore, she set up Chloe Kelly for England's fifth goal, contributing significantly to their dominant victory.

When asked about her incredible performance, James attributed her success to playing with freedom, enjoying the game, and feeling confident on the field. She expressed her desire to maintain this momentum and carry it into the next round of the tournament.

England's coach, Sarina Wiegman, was quick to commend the team's collective effort and connection on the field, steering the discussion away from James' individual brilliance. Wiegman highlighted the team's enjoyment and unity, which played a crucial role in their outstanding performance.

Wiegman also addressed the tactical and personnel changes made in the final group game, emphasizing that opponents will analyze and predict their strategies. However, she remained confident that the team is well-prepared to face any challenges that lie ahead in the tournament.

As a result of their impressive display throughout the group stage, England secured three victories and topped Group D. They are now set to face Nigeria in the last-16 clash, scheduled to take place in Brisbane on Monday. With their cohesive teamwork and players like Lauren James in top form, England looks poised to make a significant impact in the upcoming matches.
