England captain Steph Houghton feels momentum is building nicely for the Lionesses heading into the last 16 at the Women’s World Cup.
The centre-back says it is a good thing that while Phil Neville’s side won all three of their matches in Group D, “we know we can play better.”
Already qualified for the next round and needing a point to cement top spot in their pool, England did so with a 2-0 victory over Japan in Nice on Wednesday, having already defeated Scotland 2-1 and Argentina 1-0.
