Phil Neville launches savage attack against 'disgraceful' Cameroon 🤬 | OneFootball

England Women’s manager Phil Neville has launched into an incredible attack against Cameroon after their 3-0 win in Sunday’s World Cup last 16 clash.

The Lionesses romped to an easy victory to qualify for next week’s quarter-final but the match was marred by VAR decisions and some terrible challenges from the African side.

Cameroon were lucky not to have three sent off while it looked in the first half as if Lucy Bronze was spat on.

And after the game Neville savaged the opposition and their behaviour during the game.

“I want to speak first. One: Steph Houghton was player of the match and can’t be here as she’s on the treatment table, from the tackle that everyone saw. She needs to recover, she’s in a lot of pain. It’s not Fifa’s fault, this time,” he told reporters.

“Secondly, I came to this World Cup to be successful and to play a part in making women’s football globally more visible. We wanted to put on a show. I sat through 90 minutes of football there and felt ashamed.

“I was proud of performances, under circumstances I’ve never seen before. And I am completely and utterly ashamed of the opposition. I didn’t enjoy the game. My players didn’t enjoy the game, apart from getting to the quarter-finals.

“All the young boys and girls watching…and we’ve had five, six and seven million people watching back at home against Cameroon with that kind of behaviour. That’s pretty sad.

“I’ve got to tell the truth to everyone. I’m so proud of their behaviour. It takes you back to times when you went home crying with your ball.”

“When I started in football, a team mirrored a manager – and their team mirrored their manager. If my team played like that they would never play for England again. I thought they were disgraceful today.”

England will now face Norway on June 27.
