England boss Mark Sampson upbeat following France defeat

England head coach Mark Sampson says that he was pleased with his side's performance during their defeat to France.

England head coach Mark Sampson has defended his side's performance during their 1-0 defeat to France in the Women's World Cup.

A Eugenie Le Sommer strike settled the match, but the Lionesses boss believes that his team were competitive right up to the final whistle.

"That was a strong England performance," BBC Sport quotes the 32-year-old as saying.

"You have to understand the level of competition. I would suggest fans stick with us. We have taken a top team right to the last minute."

He added: "Of course we are disappointed with the result, but from the objective to give ourselves a platform to build on we have achieved."

England are next in action on Saturday when they take on their Mexican counterparts.
