Phil Neville And England’s Antics Show Three Lionesses Not Ready To Be World Cup Contenders

England’s crusade to knock the USWNT from its perch has ended in failure. 

From the British media’s uproar over the Americans’ nerve to celebrate scoring goals at a Women’s World Cup to Phil Neville’s attempts to motivate his charges by trying to claim the U.S. was spying on the team, the USWNT has been Public Enemy No. 1 in England for some time now.

In between showing that replay of Chile not scoring on a free kick and talking about Hope Solo, we forgot to give Alyssa Naeher her proper due.

Now nobody's gonna talk about anything besides Alyssa Naeher.

USWNT Officials Caught In England’s World Cup Hotel, Adding Fuel To The English Fire

Is this it — the moment we all live to regret? Yesterday, a U.S. team administrator and her boss were apprehended whilst dozily meandering around the private rooms of England’s Fourvière hotel, which the rogue Americans could potentially use as a base of operations should they secure passage to the final at the expense of the Lionesses.
