Carter feared racist abuse for James after penalty miss in Euros shootout | Football News
England beat Sweden on penalties in the Euro 2025 quarterfinal before going on to beat Spain in the final.
England defender Jess Carter said she felt a sigh of relief when her non-Black teammates missed penalties during their shootout win over Sweden in the Women’s Euro 2025 quarterfinals, fearing Lauren James would suffer “astronomical” racist abuse if the forward had been the only player to miss her spot-kick.
England overcame a two-goal deficit to force penalties in Zurich, eventually triumphing 3-2 in a dramatic shootout that featured 14 attempts.
Sweden goalkeeper Jennifer Falk saved four England penalties, including James’ second effort. Beth Mead, Alex Greenwood and Grace Clinton, who are all white, also missed their spot-kicks for England.
“It’s horrible to say but it’s almost like a sigh of relief when other players that weren’t Black missed a penalty, because the racism that would have come with LJ (James) being the only one that missed would have been astronomical,” Carter told United Kingdom broadcaster ITN on Monday.
“It’s not because we want them to fail – it’s about knowing how it’s going to be for us (England’s Black players) if we miss.”
Carter said in July that she had been the target of online racist abuse since Euro 2025 began in Switzerland and announced that she is stepping away from social media for the duration of the tournament.
“It makes you feel really small. It makes you feel like you’re not important, that you’re not valuable,” the 27-year-old said about the effect the abuse had on her.
“It makes you second-guess everything that you do – it’s not a nice place to be. It doesn’t make me feel confident going back on to the pitch. My family was so devastated by it as well and so sad.”
England, who traditionally take a knee before matches as a gesture against racism, opted not to do so before their semifinal against Italy, following Carter’s revelations about the abuse she faced.
She also admitted to feeling fear when England manager Sarina Wiegman informed her she would be playing in the final against Spain, which England won 3-1 on penalties after a 1-1 draw.
“That’s the first time I’ve ever been scared – too scared to play,” Carter said.
“I think it was a mixture of such a big game, but then on top of that (I was) scared of whatever abuse might come with it, whether it’s football-based or whether it was going to be the racial abuse that was going to come with it because I did something wrong.”

The No. 3 Wisconsin Badgers are taking on the No. 1 Kentucky Wildcats in the Final Four on Thursday, with first serve set for 8:00 P.M. on ESPN.
The Badgers have gone on an incredible run so far in the NCAA Tournament, most recently beating the No. 2 seed Stanford Cardinal and the No. 1 seed Texas Longhorns 3-1 to advance to Kansas City.
Star Mimi Colyer has been on a tear, recording 50 kills in the two wins, including a career-high 27 kills against Stanford. Carter Booth has also come up huge, recording a career-high 14 kills against Stanford as well.
But, the Badgers will be facing a Kentucky team that has won 26 straight matches. They went 29-2 this season, including wins over Texas, Texas A&M, and Louisville.
The Wildcats have dropped only one set in the tournament in the Second Round against UCLA, winning that one 3-1. Apart from that, Kentucky has swept its other three opponents, including most recently against the Creighton Blue Jays.
The winner of Thursday’s matchup will face the Texas A&M Aggies, who swept Pitt on Thursday as well.
Lee University is a private, comprehensive university located in Cleveland, Tennessee, in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. Lee is emerging as a leader in higher education in the southeastern region and is consistently ranked in the “Top Tier” of the Best Regional Universities in the South by U.S. News & World Report.
Over the past two decades, Lee has become one of the largest Christ-centered private institutions in Tennessee and the largest in the Appalachian College Association. During that period, the university has seen a remarkable transformation that has included significant growth in its academic programs, student enrollment, faculty expertise, and diversity, as well as an expanded sense of mission and vision.
Tyus Wilson is grabbing his degree and raising the bar to new heights in his future.
The decorated University of Nebraska–Lincoln track and field athlete is among the December class of 2025 and has his sights set on the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
In August, after he ended his collegiate career with a Big Ten championship and gold medal in the 2025 NCAA Indoor high jump, Wilson won the USA high jump championship, securing a spot on Team USA.
And then, this fall, he had to complete his final assignment before graduation — student teaching fifth graders.
“The first few days are just lots of comments and questions, ‘how are you so tall?’” the 6-foot, 8-inch elementary education major said.
Wilson’s parents are both educators and athletes themselves, and two of his five siblings work in education in some way, even though they started college thinking they’d do something else.
“I started in elementary education, because I did some coaching and things in high school and enjoyed it, but I wondered if I’d find something else,” he said. “When I started doing practicums in the classrooms, it was apparent that I wanted to keep doing it. I really liked being around the kids and helping them learn.
“Every single classroom that I’ve been in has been so different in its own little way. I love being around these kids and seeing those light bulb moments. Even on the bad days, you’ll look back and see their success, and that is why you do it.”
Wilson was 10 — around fifth grade himself — the first time he tried high jump. His dad, still teaching and coaching the high school track and field team in his hometown of Sterling, Kansas, recognized his son’s natural athleticism and helped him hone it. Wilson was a standout athlete in football and basketball, too, but his heart was in high jump.
By freshman year, Wilson was clearing a seven-foot bar.
“My dad said, ‘yeah, you’re going somewhere.’”
Wilson began his junior year of high school in 2019 and was being recruited by many Division I schools. In the spring, he’d planned to make campus visits, but the COVID pandemic and ensuing shutdowns scuttled those opportunities.
Wilson worked the phones instead. Recruitment usually includes a lot of phone time with coaches, but Wilson also connected with athletes at the various programs to feel out the culture and communities within the programs.
“That was a turning point for me,” he said. “My parents were checking in and asking me what I was thinking, and getting to talk to some of the athletes, I felt like I meshed with the people in Nebraska better.”
It was a decision that served him well when, during his freshman year, he developed a stress injury in his shin, derailing his inaugural college season. A month later, his dad was diagnosed with stage III lung cancer. The double whammy shook Wilson. He internalized the stress, often isolating himself. He leaned on his Christian faith and started unpacking his “why.”
“What’s my purpose in life? Where do I find my hope and my joy?” he said. “If all my joy and all my hope for the future is coming from how high I’m going to jump over a stick — that’s just not going to be fulfilling. In isolation, by myself, was a good time for me to kind of reflect on my purpose.”
Despite his tendency to withdraw, his teammates, coaches and friends he met in Fellowship of Christian Athletes lifted him up and helped pull him out of the rut. Wilson realized he’d found a community in Lincoln, and that he would come out of the experience a better person.
“It was a very humbling experience, something I definitely needed to get to where I am today, and to handle it the way that I’m handling it now,” he said.
Now a Team USA athlete, Wilson is still training on campus. Following graduation, he will continue training 20 to 25 hours a week while substitute teaching when he can.
“It’s nice that I can continue having training partners, working with the team,” he said. “There’s only so much you can do to your body before it starts to talk back to you, and you can get burned out. I’m going to keep other things going so that my brain doesn’t run with the same thing over and over every day.”
He and his wife, McKenna, a Husker cross country athlete who graduated in May, will stay in Omaha while McKenna finishes her Doctor of Physical Therapy at Creighton University. They hope to keep their home base in Nebraska, while traveling to Wilson’s meets — and to L.A. — for as long as they can.
“As long as it still makes sense to keep going, I will,” he said. “But it’s never promised. James 4:13-15 says to not boast about the future. You don’t even know what will happen tomorrow.”
KANSAS CITY – Pitt Volleyball (30-5, 18-2 ACC) lost 3-0 to Texas A&M (28-4, 14-1 SEC) in the National Semifinal Thursday night at the T-Mobile Center, 27-29, 21-25, 20-25. The Panthers hit .344 and were led by Olivia Babcock’s 22 kills on her .463 hitting percentage.
Set 1: 27-29
A back-and-forth first set went to the Aggies. The set featured 17 ties and eight lead changes, with neither team leading by more than three points the entire set. Texas A&M hit .410 to Pitt’s .366. Olivia Babcock had seven first-set kills and Blaire Bayless added six for the Panthers.
Set 2: 21-25
The second set was a set of runs, as Texas A&M jumped out to an 11-7 lead before Pitt rattled off eight straight to take a 15-11 lead off the serve of Izzy Masten. The Aggies responded with a 4-0 run and 7-1 run. For the second straight set, the score evened at 21 apiece before Texas A&M scored the last four to take a 2-0 lead.
Set 3: 20-25
Pitt led 10-7 in the third set and looked poised to force a fourth set, but Texas A&M responded with a run of 5-0 and 10-3 to jump ahead 17-13. The Panthers scored three straight and evened the score at 18-18, but Texas A&M ended the match on a 7-2 run to earn the sweep.
Brooke Mosher had a double-double with 31 assists and 10 digs.
Texas A&M hit .382 for the match and added six services aces to Pitt’s two.
Pitt finishes the 2025 season with 30 victories and a fifth-straight trip to the final four. The Panthers are one of just four teams – and the first since Texas (2012-16) – in NCAA volleyball history to make at least five straight National Semifinals.
