Cameroon coach Alain Djeumfa (right) encourages his team to continue after Ajara Nchout's goal was ruled out for offsideCameroon's behaviour during their World Cup last-16 defeat by England "reflected badly on African football", says an African football chief. Isha Johansen, chair of the Confederation of African Football's women's football committee, wants an investigation to be opened. In a statement, she said: "Whilst remaining proud of our African teams that participated in the Fifa Women's World Cup, yesterday's match between England and Cameroon reflected badly, not only on African women's football but African football on the whole. Speaking after the match, England boss Phil Neville said he was "ashamed" by Cameroon's behaviour, adding it "didn't feel like football". Through more live women's sport available to watch across the BBC this summer, complemented by our journalism, we are aiming to turn up the volume on women's sport and alter perceptions.
