SheBelieves Cup crucial in a World Cup year
The tournament kicks off in the United States tomorrow as England aim to pick up some momentum on the road to France, writes ASIF BURHAN
ONE hundred days before the start of the Women’s World Cup in France, Phil Neville’s Lionesses take part in the fourth SheBelieves Cup in the United States, once again taking on the hosts and world champions but this time also Brazil, who they defeated four months ago in Nottingham, and Japan, who they will face in the finals group stage in Nice.
On announcing his 23-player squad last week, England manager Neville said: “The SheBelieves Cup is a fantastic tournament and I’ll never forget my first game in charge against France a year ago.
“All four nations are among the top eight in the Fifa rankings so we know we’ll be tested and need to be at our best in all three matches.
