England manager Phil Neville has slammed U.S. Soccer for sending operations staff to scout out his team's hotel in case the U.S. defeats the Lionesses on Tuesday in the World Cup semifinal.
FIFA assigns team hotels for the World Cup and the USWNT are scheduled to check into England’s current hotel in Lyon should they advance to the final, with England traveling to Nice for the third-place game.
England personnel were clearly surprised at the sight of U.S. operations staff scouting out their team hotel, with Neville believing it gave off the impression that the USWNT are already planning for a win over the Lionesses.
