England coach Phil Neville irked by U.S. staff scouting hotel for World Cup final

LYON, France — England coach Phil Neville took issue with staff members from the United States women’s national team scoping out his team’s hotel as it prepares for Tuesday’s World Cup semifinal clash.

The U.S. will move into that hotel if it advances to the final. FIFA assigns teams hotels for each round. The loser of their 3 p.m. ET match will go to Nice for the third-place game.

“It’s not something we’d do, send somebody around to another team’s hotel,” said Neville, who added that the team was at training when the U.S. staffers were there.
