    After all that drama, I almost forgot to remind you that it is Norway that England will play in the quarter-finals.

    They came through that dramatic penalty shoot-out against Australia yesterday.

    England 3-0 Cameroon

    That 3-0 win for England was their second-biggest margin of victory in a Women’s World Cup game, only behind their 6-1 win over Argentina in the 2007 group stage.

    Laura: Shades of Sir Alex Ferguson from Phil Neville in the post-match interview - glad he's willing to stick up for his players and give an honest assessment in a difficult moment.

    Huge credit must go to Steph Houghton and the rest of her teammates. They dealt with the situation really well in a professional sense.

    Their play became sloppy - again - and that's something that needs addressing. But they should be proud of the way they conducted themselves.

  6. 'We remained calm'published at 19:03 British Summer Time 23 June 2019

    England 3-0 Cameroon

    England captain Steph Houghton:

    "I think as England players we remained calm, we didn't get involved in anything and we're through to the quarter-finals.

    "For the goal, I saw a little gap, tried to use the technique that I've got - and practice every day in training - and I got it through."

    Cameroon head coach Alain Djeumfa's press conference is yet to start. It's running much later than any of the other three post-match press conferences I've attended at this same stadium earlier in this tournament.

    If and when he emerges, we're expecting to hear from Djeumfa shortly.

  8. 'I didn't enjoy the game'published at 19:01 British Summer Time 23 June 2019

    England 3-0 Cameroon

    More from England boss Phil Neville, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "I didn't enjoy the game because of the behaviour of the opposition.

    "At times we probably didn't know whether the game would continue. It's not football.

    "My daughter wants to be a footballer and if she watches that she will think 'no, I want to play netball'."

    Lee: Well done Phil Neville for calling out Cameroon’s behaviour.

    Russell G: Yes Phil Neville. Absolutely agree. Well done for having the guts to be frank on TV.

  11. 'Unacceptable behaviour'published at 18:56 British Summer Time 23 June 2019

    England 3-0 Cameroon

    BBC Radio 5 Live

    BBC Radio 5 Live to Phil Neville: Have you ever been involved in a more eventful match than that?

    Neville: "Not really. I want to stand here and say brilliant things about my players - the way they kept their concentration and some of the quality of passes. But there's something bigger happening at this World Cup.

    "We are trying to promote the women's game - we're trying to make it bigger and better. When images like that and behaviour like that goes out world wide, that's not good.

    "Win, lose or draw - I'd never expect my players to do that. You have to accept the rules are the rules, that the referees make the right calls and get on with it.

    "I'm afraid today we saw behaviour that was unacceptable on the football field."

    Phil Neville will be looking at little tweaks, there were lapses in concentration.

    The back four were skew-whiff at times and lapses against France and Norway will be punished.

    The positive thing is they won 3-0 and they kept their discipline.

    Tony Greaves: Amazing self control by the England team. Really impressive. Put this game behind you and now concentrate on the quarters.

  15. 'No sympathy for Cameroon' - Nevillepublished at 18:51 British Summer Time 23 June 2019

    England 3-0 Cameroon

    Asked if he had any sympathy for Cameroon, Phil Neville said: "None.

    "The rules are rules. for the second goal, Ellen White was onside, deal with it.

    "We are spoken to by Fifa about 350,000 times and in the end, the referee took pity on them. They should count their lucky stars that it wasn't five or six. A team that are refusing to play... I'm proud of my players for playing a game of football."

    England played well. They moved the ball around quite nicely but in the end it was not a complete performance.

    After hearing so many of Phil Neville's interviews, it seems he wants them to peak at the right time. So we have still not seen a complete performance by England.

    Had these emotions gone that way against a better side and a more experienced side like Norway, I'm not sure we saw enough leadership from the England players on the field to calm the play down.

    The only way you can overcome those emotions is by putting the ball on the floor and moving it around and keeping possession.

    When we are talking about the development of women's football and we're proud of it, we now need to think about the level of the referees

    This is going out worldwide but we are being let down by the officials. There are some good ones but not enough.

  18. Neville - 'that wasn't football'published at 18:46 British Summer Time 23 June 2019

    England 3-0 Cameroon

    England manager Phil Neville speaking to BBC Sport: "It didn't feel like football. I know we get these these briefs about coming on TV and saying it was good game, but that wasn't a last-16 tie in terms of behaviour from footballers. This is going out worldwide

    "I didn't enjoy it, the players didn't enjoy it and my players kept their concentration, but those images are going out worldwide and young girls are seeing that behaviour and it's not right.

    "There has to be a standard of behaviour that you have to do, and my players did that."

  19. Postpublished at 18:44 British Summer Time 23 June 2019

    Sadly, that's a good point from Tom. As a keen follower of women's football, I really hope people new to the game were able to see some of the levels of skill and ability on show.

    Lucy Bronze was excellent as always and Ellen White showed her goalscoring abilities once again with that terrific finish for England's second goal.

    The Cameroon players have now gone over to applaud their fans and they're being applauded back, as their World Cup run ends.

    At least three times, their level of enragement and protest today was extraordinary and you fear it's how many people around the world will remember their tournament.
