England manager Phil Neville has said his team had shown how close they are to the top of the women's game despite a 2-1 loss to the United States in their World Cup semi-final on Tuesday. The Lionesses have now lost three straight semi-finals following defeat to Japan in the 2015 World Cup in Canada and the loss to the Netherlands in Euro 2017. After a relentless game in which England captain Steph Houghton missed a late penalty, Neville chose an upbeat assessment, saying 'there is no need for tears ... we should just be proud.'
