England Women's Team Head Coach and Manager Phil Neville were infuriated with Cameroon for the way they conducted themselves during the 3-0 triumph in the Women’s World Cup round of 16 according to MySports Dab.
This should have been a match where Neville praised his players for cruising into the quarter-finals, but dramatically it was the losing side that stole the headlines.
The drama started not long after the first whistle when Nikita Parris looked like she was elbowed by Yvonne Leuko.
There was no use of VAR, but the offender was booked.
Not long after Toni Duggan appeared to be spat on by Augustine Ejangue, although it must be said it seemed unintentional.
Steph Houghton gave the Lionesses the lead from a fabulous indirect free-kick, Ellen White got her fourth World Cup goal on the stroke of half-time.
The goal was at first chalked off but VAR checks ensure it stood to the dismay of Cameroon.
Their players were so angry after watching the replay on the big screen, they refused to play causing a delay to the restart.
“It didn’t feel like football, I’ve got to be honest,” he said to the BBC.
“I know we get these briefs about coming on TV and saying it was a good win.
“We played okay, we passed the ball well, we were ruthless in attack and we are ready to play in the quarter-final.
“But I’ve got to say that wasn’t football for me. That wasn’t a World Cup last 16 in terms of the behaviour I want to see from footballers.”
The previous Manchester United and Everton player clearly felt aggrieved at the Cameroonian team behaviour, claiming it damaged the image of the women’s game.
