#8. COLOMBIA vs ENGLAND

Tunisia v England: Group G - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia
Can England captain Harry Kane continue his goalscoring form when he faces Colombia

Colombia had a tough group and still finished first. They have a very well rounded squad but one of their key players, James Rodriguez, was substituted just after 10 minutes due to an injury in their last game against Senegal. Whether he will be able to play is yet to see. Even without him, they have enough attacking quality with Ramadel Falcao and Juan Cuadrado leading the front line and also have young defensive talents such as Yerry Mina and Davinson Sanchez.

England have been surprisingly good in this World cup despite losing their last game against Belgium. Their squad is young, vibrant and full of talent and have been convincing in each of their games. They are also a lot more threating from crosses and set pieces as they have players such as fullback Kieren Trippier who is amazing from set pieces and players who have ariel threat such as Harry Kane.

I predict England to go through. With Harry Kane leading the race for the Golden Boot, I expect this to be a goal fiasco.

Predicted Score - Colombia 1-3 England
