England Win • 2.16

I don't buy the theory that England are better off because they lost to Belgium in their final game in Group G.

Forget about them being in what people consider to be the easier half of the draw, because keeping on winning is the best thing you can do at a World Cup - you do not want to risk stopping the momentum you have built up.

So, we will see what effect making so many changes has on England, but I actually think they will be fine against Colombia.

They have some good players, but I don't think they will be able to cope with England's high-pressing game.

Draw • 3.2

So England have dropped into the half of the draw which has an easier route to the final. Well, there is no easy route to the final because there are tough teams waiting at every turn. You ask the Germans now whether they'd like to be in the hard side of the draw and they'd all be nodding their heads.

England will have a very difficult game against Colombia in my opinion. The only thing that gives England a very slight edge is the injury scare to James Rodriguez. If he's out it's a massive blow for Colombia, however, don't be fooled into thinking the South Americans are not a threat. They are a very dangerous side and a very physical one at that.

It's a very tight game to call. I'm going for 1-1 in 90 minutes but England will benefit from resting a few last Thursday and I think the tide will turn in their favour in extra-time. I see one of England's substitutes coming on and making all the difference in the extra 30 minutes.

Draw • 3.2

Colombia fell to a 2-1 loss to Japan in their first match, but recovered well to beat Poland and Senegal to progress as group winners. They haven't been at their best, however, and the absence of James Rodriguez, even accounting for the form of Juan Quintero, is a blow.
England finished second in Group G, which should hand them an easier route to the semi-finals, but they mustn't take Colombia lightly. Failure to take any threat from their South American counterparts seriously will likely result in their elimination from the last-16.
Of the eight upcoming matches, this is the hardest to predict. It could go all the way.

England Win • 2.19

I watched Colombia the other day and there's nothing to be scared of there for England. They are dangerous at set plays but we are as good as anybody at set plays. In truth, they've been poor and they also had James Rodriguez limp out of the Senegal game which is a concern for them.

I was sat there watching the Belgium game and hoping England didn't score. If we don't get to the last four I'd be shocked. At the start of the tournament we were saying that if we'd get past the quarter-finals it'd be great but if we don't get to a semi-final now it won't have been a very good tournament.

England or Draw • 1.28

I don't know what's happened with Lukaku yesterday but he obviously missed his chance to score some goals and get closer to Kane. I expect this match to be a tough game for England. But in games like this real stars should do their magic and decide the game for their team. Kane to score anytime - yes.
