By the look of things, it's going to be a pretty interesting game. Colombia have their centre-back pairing of a Tottenham Hotspur and a Barcelona player Davinson Sanchez and Yerry Mina. In addition, the main attacking threats of James and Quintero cannot be overlooked. James' magic took Colombia into the quarterfinal last time and they'll be hoping for the same this time around.

England have Harry Kane in prime form and the side have been a pretty cohesive unit though they've only beaten Tunisia and Panama.

Prediction: England to win 2-1


Belgium vs Japan

Japan having qualified for the Round of 16 is itself an achievement and there is not much they can do about this match. Romelu Lukaku will have his best chance to get past Harry Kane in the race for the Golden Boot. Only way Japan can get through is if they give 10/10 defensive performance and do well on set pieces otherwise Belgium seems too good for them.

Prediction: Belgium to win 3-0
