WORLD CUP
RUSSIA 2018
As a result of disappointments, English arrogance lost its strength in the World Cups . The memory of his coronation in 1966 is already too far, and the last time that they transcended in a World Cup, reaching the semi-finals of Italy 1990 the games were been recorded on video recorders. That is why a Russia 2018 England despite its prestigious Premier League arrived almost on tiptoe without being involved in any list of candidates to the throne. At this moment the goals of Harry Kane allowed England to pbad the group phase without shake – in Brazil 2014 he was eliminated in this round – and to settle among the 16 best national teams with a bigger protagonism. To continue to progress, we will face Moscow this evening to Colombia, another team that tends to say goodbye to the World Cups before things go bad.
This will be the last match of the 16th, which will emerge Sweden or Switzerland in the next round. After the duel, only eight selections will continue to dream of raising the cup.
With very different styles, both teams have aspirations to qualify for the quarter-finals. The two English teams, who fell to Belgium (0-1) and Colombia, who started the game with a defeat against Japan (1-2), have already shown in Russia that they are not invincible, but still delivered good football moments.
If the goals of Kane can boost England, the midfield talent James Rodriguez -doubts to appear today- and Juan Fernando Quintero is the engine of the coffee growers, who are not as good it lacks goal in definitive zone, beyond which Radamel Falcão is not in full of faculties.
The story marks that Colombia has never been able to win in England, since in the five occasions that they have faced, between friendly and official duels, there was three victories for the British and two draws
For the Argentine strategist José Néstor Pekerman the match represents the possibility of qualifying for the quarter-finals for the third time in his history in the World Cup, and what Argentina beat Mexico in Germany in 2006, and the same Colombia beat Uruguay in Brazil in 2014.
On the other hand, Gareth Southgate who has been leading his national team since 2016, […] England back to the quarterfinals, which does not happen since Germany 2006, when the team was led by Sweden's Sven- Göran Eriksson, the coach who also became a Mexican coach almost ten years ago.
