Colombia are 6/4 to go through. It would hardly be a shock if they do.

All fair points. But, James (yes, I know) / Quintado / Cuadrado / Falcao is attacking threat MILES above what either of the others pose.
On the flip side, they are the least organized at the back, of the three sides, so anything could happen...

I am EXCITED!
I shall be staying up until 3 a.m to watch our brave heroes swashbuckle their way to the the next round.*
*Or freeze like we did against Iceland. Or just be plain shit like we were against Germany the last time we were in a world cup knock out match.**
** Just so long as it's not like the Italy quarter final in Euro 2012 which was one of the most boring games I've ever seen, defending a 1-1 for 75minutes, then all 30 minutes of extra time before the inevitable defeat. And that was Hodgson's best tournament... Why couldn't we have just conceded a second goal in normal time and got it over with?

Immensely looking forward to it here on the Isle of Arran with last week's indigenous Panamanian community magically converted into Columbians! Great banter though and there are a load of Scots here who genuinely want England to do well, although not necessarily to win the WC 
.
They have St Austell's Liquid Sunshine on draught at the pub next to my cottage and it will be flowing well tonight, guaranteed.
Come on England!

On the Scottish ABE thing...
I was unfortunate enough to be working in Glasgow through June of 2002, and had to watch the fantastic victory over Argentina, with one English mate, in a bar full of bitter Scots in Argentina shirts. 90 minutes of anti-English abuse shouted at the screen constantly. Plenty of not-quite-friendly banter aimed our way through the game.
In a kebab shop that night, some pissed up Jocko stumbled across to us, after hearing our accents, and we thought 'here we go again', but were surprised to hear "Ah hope Englund wen yer next game, too" (against Nigeria)
"Oh. Cheers"
"Aye. Ah hate they f***ing ni**ers, even more than ah hate Englund"
"Oh. Righto"
Lovely city. Lovely people

I had a dream last night that Jesse Lingard is introduced in the Man Utd line up at the Amex as 'the player who learnt his trade at Brighton and now a world cup winner Jesse Lingard' at which point the entire ground erupts into a frenzy.

Kane will know all about D. Sanchez's weaknesses. If we keep it tight at the back and defend well, I think we'll win.
Pretty sure we played well in that match, and were unlucky to lose after that nasty deflection off Paul Parker.
Oops, forgot about 2010, when the linesman knocked us out, and goal line technology had to be introduced.

Well obviously I can't speak for all English people but I certainly won't be shedding any more tears. Sure they'll be more 'if onlys' if we get knocked out in the semis (same as there were in 1990), but even if some people DO cry more they'll soon dry their eyes as they'll know that reaching the semi-finals for only the 3rd time in our history will be a magnificent achievement for this young side.

'Oooh, Colombia have 40k fans here'
'Oooh, they're so colourful, so noisy'
'Oooh, they're just so wonderful compared to England'
'Oooh, they outnumber England 500-1'
Tell you wot Colombia, we're gonna shut your noise. This is England now, not one of your banana republic neighbours. As the song goes, "It's nice, it's nice to know you're here...now **** off!"

Oh yeah.He did well to be selected still in 2010.
That story can't be true.
Because not a single one of the Scots that it includes brings up "fookin' 1966".
In my experience, most English fans rarely if ever refer to 1966, whereas all Scots are utterly obsessed with it, banging on and on and on and on about it, in the most blatant example of pot-kettle-blackism ever.
Colombian pal just sent me this..............will send them over to console us if we lose apparently.
Stupid boy............and don't tell 'em your name Pike!
I'm supporting Colombia
