Unsavoury scenes marred England’s win over the African nation, which once again put the continent's football in a bad light
“I've got to say, that wasn't football. That wasn't a World Cup last 16 in terms of the behaviour that I want to see from footballers. This is going out worldwide. I can't stand here and say i enjoyed it, my players didn't enjoy it.”
That's how Phil Neville described England’s 3-0 victory over Cameroon at the Women’s World Cup, which was marred by the African side’s mindless on-field actions.
The Indomitable Lionesses were left livid by several calls from referee Qin Liang over the course of the game, although, in reality, she actually let them off on several occasions at the Stade du Hainaut, Valenciennes when they could have been penalised more sternly.
