NICOLA White’s England team’s Rabobank World Cup campaign in Holland went from bad to worse at the weekend.
Having lost their opening two games against the United States and China, Jason Lee’s team lost 4-1 to South Africa on Saturday and 2-1 against Argentina yesterday.
Oldham star White scored the consolation goal against South Africa.
Head coach Lee said: “Some small things didn’t work in our favour and our confidence has been bashed on a couple of occasions It feels like we’re due a heap of luck.
“It’s unfortunate because we deserved more in this latest game.”
England, who had already been eliminated from the World Cup ahead of yesterday’s fourth straight defeat, wrap up their group fixtures against Germany tomorrow.
