The young team from England exorcised great ghosts from other generations (who almost scared the present) and beat Colombia on penalties (4 to 3) after succeeding a 1-1 draw in the 90th minute. The selection came back to win a victory (either the World Cup or Eurocopa) after 12 years. The British have not reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup since 2006, when they eliminated another South American wearing yellow: Ecuador.
Mina almost ended the dream when the 1-0, goal of Kane, already gave way to the Europeans. More than that: England won for the first time in history, after three eliminations (90, 98 and 06), a shootout in the cups. Dier charged the final penalty after Pickford defended one and Colombia missed another (the English lost one): "God save the Queen" was the last corner of a house painted yellow.
England is now turning to Sweden on Saturday to attempt a semifinal spot that has not been in place since 1990 – the winner will face those who will pbad the duel between Russia and Croatia .
Gareth Southgate said on the eve of the match that he had been impressed at the 2014 World Cup when he saw the number of Colombians in Brazil's stadiums.
Crossing the Atlantic was also not a problem for the South Americans, who made the Spartak stadium a piece of Bogota. At the rhythm of the song the Army of the Seven Nation, which touches the entrance of the selections, only was heard "El Tigre Falcao, El Tigre Falcao" from the mouth of the Colombians. The anthem was sung with force, chills. The yellow color eclipsed the red of England and the Russian team home chairs. "We are local again," they sang. And they were even …
On the field
Having the loudest scream in the stands does not always mean the advantage with the rolling of the ball. Pekerman strengthened the score in the middle with the trio Carlos Sanches, Lerma and Barrios, since James Rodriguez was vetoed by injury. Missed. Quintero had problems in the frame, with Squad still loose on the right side. The mission was to reduce the intensity of English, with Lingard and Dele Alli open, more centralized Sterling, but still with quick exchanges of positions, working with Kane, leaving much of the region with a high quality.
with an imprint sometimes excessive and little chance of purpose. The British kicked twice as many balls as the Colombians (8-4). But each team only gets a certain final, being Colombia at 45 years old.
Who screams more?
And it is in order that the English fans concentrate that the Europeans open the scoring at the start of the second half. Carlos Sanchez messed with Kane and knocked out the Englishman in the penalty area. The screams of "VAR" Colombian supporters have not changed the marking. Copa's top scorer hit in the middle and reached his sixth goal in the tournament for an English minority party in Spartak.
Another cry
The Colombian team began complaining about faults and exaggerating simulations: it was clearly pissed off. Pekerman got up from the bench to ask for calm. And also took the Lerma marker to put attacker Bacca. Even though he lacked creativity, the yellow team gained strength in the attack. Who happened to simulate, complaining of waiting until the end of the game was England. The Colombian striker plays at the back and calls Mina. The tall 6 feet tall man punished the English when Ospina was in the area. He came monstrously to hit the ball in what was the first corner of the team in the game. The cold summer night in Moscow has become a hot fashion in South America. The 30-minute stretch was as intense, dramatic, until shots on goal …
