'I think my players were examples' - Cameroon boss denies team are bad role models

Cameroon Women’s team head coach Alain Djeumfa has refused to criticise his players amidst controversy surrounding the Indominable Lionesses behaviour in their World Cup game against England.

The Cameroon side reacted angrily to England’s second goal in a 3-0 win, scored by Ellen White. White was adjudged offside but VAR overturned that decision, prompting complaints from Djeumfa’s players and a meeting on the half way line before they’d take the ensuing kick-off.

Early in the second period Cameroon thought they had scored, only to see Ajara Nchout’s effort marked off for a marginal offside, again by VAR.
