Someone at the FA had the horrible idea to interview a devastated Laura Bassett

A mere 24 hours after England defender Laura Bassett endured the worst moment of her footballing life by scoring a last-minute own goal to eliminate her team from the Women’s World Cup semifinals, someone at the FA decided to put her in front of a camera and make her talk about that awful experience.

Lowlights include a clearly distraught Bassett saying, “I wouldn’t want anyone to know my name” and the interviewer ending with the gut punch of a question: “How can you move on from what’s happened?”

For once, the top comment on YouTube accurately sums up one’s feelings after watching this.
