The south American side and the European side will battle for a place in the quarter-finals tonight. It will be a tough contest for both the teams and for the fans too.
The Colombian has a difficult road to qualify for the last-16. They lost their first match against Japan but overcomes it and wins their next two matches to secure the top spot in the group.
While England had a relatively easy job to qualify as they won their first two matches to qualify for the last-16. However, they lost their last match against Belgium, so they have to satisfy for the second place. However, many are saying that the second place has made the path easier to the semi-finals as they will avoid the world superpowers if they secure the first position.
However, Colombia is not a weak team to ignore it. The last time quarter-finalist can do it once again with the likes of J.Rodriguez, R.Falcao and Quintero. Anyways, England are the favorites to progress but Colombia can produce a big upset like it did the last time.
The winner of this match will face the winner of the match between Switzerland and Sweden. So, whom will win this match will have a relatively easy path to the semi-finals as they will face either of the two mid-teams. But they have to cross this hurdle first.
Colmbia and England had only a single meeting in the world cup in 1998 where England defeated Colombia by 2 goals to nil.
