Neville braced for China challenge

England coach readying for 'tough' potential last-16 clash with Steel Roses

England coach Phil Neville says his team is preparing for a tough battle against potential last-16 opponent China at the Women's World Cup, but warned his Three Lionesses will be off the leash and "ready to attack".

Neville's side cruised into the knockout stage on Wednesday night with a 2-0 victory over Japan in Nice that saw the world's third-ranked team top Group D with a perfect 3-0 record.
