England lost its World Cup semi-final match against Japan on Wednesday in the most heartbreaking way possible, especially for 31-year-old Laura Bassett.
Bassett scored an own goal in the 92nd minute (stoppage time) that allowed Japan to take a 2-1 lead and punch their ticket to the World Cup final against the United States. Bassett actually made the right play on the ball, as she somehow managed to get her foot on a beautiful cross from Japan that may have resulted in a goal, anyway.
Right play or not, the ball couldn’t have come off Bassett’s foot any worse.
