Women's World Cup Roundup: England See Off Hostile Cameroon as France Leave it Late Against Brazil

Another day, another round of World Cup fixtures.

There are now just two matches to sink your teeth into each day, but things are getting increasingly exciting in France. Sunday saw England defeat Cameroon 3-0 in a game overhsadowed by controversy, whilst hosts France secured their progress with an extra-time 2-1 victory over Brazil.

The Lionesses kept alive their hopes of winning a maiden World Cup trophy with a hard-fought victory over Cameroon. The Africans were far from walkovers as they took on the side ranked third in the tournament, though their behaviour in the encounter has been widely condemned.
