Colombia has already made history for their program as they advanced past the round of 16 for the first time in their history. It’s just their third-ever appearance in the World Cup, and they’ve been seeing better results each time around. However, they’re about to run into a powerhouse in England, who have a storied history in this tournament.
Although they’ll be missing Lauren James, who will be serving a red card suspension, the Lionesses look to just be too powerful for Colombia to get a result against. Nigeria held England to a scoreless draw before falling 4-2 in a penalty shootout, but the Lionesses have an even more favorable matchup against the Colombian side and will be expected to outplay Las Cafeteras.
England has a clear path to their first-ever final, and I’d take them to comfortably get past Colombia and move on to the semifinal round.
