I don't want to talk about a certain English player. I don't want to hear excuses or explanations. I obviously don't want that player to receive any abuse, only justifiable criticism. I want to talk about someone else, someone I was just introduced to in the England v. Nigeria game.

This is American-born Nigerian defender Michelle Alozie. She's a first-generation American, born to immigrant parents. She played for Yale and Tennessee in college. She's now a player with the NWSL's Houston Dash.

Oh, Michelle Alozie also has a Bachelor's in Microbiology from Yale and when she's not playing professional football, she does cancer research at Texas Children's Hospital.

When Michelle Alozie was shoved into the ground and stomped on by an opposing player at the Women's World Cup, she didn't react with anger. She didn't jump up and confront the opposing player. She looked to the match officials and allowed them to carry out the process of justice.

And do you know what Michelle Alozie said after the game?

"I was a little bit surprised by her reaction to the tackle. I don’t think it was really needed. I’m fine, my butt is fine from her stepping on it! I was kind of confused initially. I didn’t understand what was going on at first. There’s no hard feelings, it’s just a game."

And do you know what Michelle Alozie tweeted?

The WWC and larger world of WoSo needs players like Michelle Alozie. Let's talk about her.

you sighed as you put your phone down. he had liked your post, something he’d never done before. it wasn’t abnormal, but it was still kind of weird. he hadn’t spoken to you in days and here he was liking your post. you knew he’d be texting you soon.

new message from j.f.🩷: come over?

this wasn’t abnormal either. he’d only text you when he needed you, not when you needed him. it annoyed you, really, that he was so selfish. that didn’t stop you from going back, though.

you ended up at his doorstep, doing your special knock on his door before ringing the bell once. he knew it was you; you were the only one to show up to his house and knock and ring the doorbell. he opened the door and his hands immediately found your waist, pulling you in closer. you put your hands on his arms as he gave you a kiss. you hated that you melted into him so easily.

“i missed you,” he told you with a smile, breaking the kiss. you should’ve slapped him and asked where he’d been, or even punch him in the nose and walk off. but you didn’t.

“joão, we can’t keep doing this.”

you scanned his eyes, trying to read his emotions. six simple words had broken him—but he wouldn’t let you see it. his smile slightly faltered, but he still asked, “keep doing what?”

“this. us. you go missing for days until you feel the need to bring me around. hiding me from your friends and pretending you don’t know me. i don’t wanna live like this where you call me up and we fuck and that’s it. i want something real with you and if that’s not how you feel then i don’t see the reason for me to keep coming around.” you gave him a piece of your mind, but didn’t push him off of you.

he frowned then stroked your cheek. “baby, i…” he didn’t know what else to say. he planted a kiss on your forehead and pulled you in for a hug. “i thought this was what you wanted.”

“all i want is you.”

he pulled you out but didn’t let go. he bit his cheek before responding, a habit you’d grown to love. “i want you, too. hell, i’d even kill a man for you, yn.”

you giggled at his last sentence before sighing. “okay. so where do we go from here?”

“we can start with the question that’s been on my mind forever… will you be my girlfriend?”

Current favorite thing on tik tok is Michelle Alozie geeking over edits of herself

[ceevee5]

I love details like this. Naomi Girma, one of the US centre backs, has a BA from Stanford in symbolic systems and went on to do a master's degree in management science and engineering.

Okay, even for The Guardian newspaper's double standards of morality according to how many woke points an individual or organisation has, this is beyond belief.

No, that was not 'a moment of petulance'.

That was a moment of bare faced thuggery.

And don't you care call it 'Beckhamesque' in an attempt to whitewash what the evil little shit did, Linekar - Beckham kicked out at a player while he was lying on the ground, he didn't tread on another player's body when they were lying on the ground!

Michelle Alozie could have received a serious injury from it - and it is to the Nigerian's credit that she didn't choose to make a meal of it and start rolling around as if she'd been on the receiving end of an MG42 on D-Day.

There is no excuse, no excuse in the world for what Lauren James did - and if England's Women's team wants to have any remaining credibility, they should be sending the little shit home - because if they reach the semis and she's eligible to play again, this tournament's integrity - never mind that of England's - will be in tatters.
