England vs Colombia preview
It's do or die for England when they clash with Colombia for a spot in the final four of the 2023 Women's World Cup on Saturday.
The Lionesses were extremely fortunate to progress after a lacklustre display against Nigeria on Monday.
England scraped through via a penalty shootout victory over their unfancied opponents despite Lauren James' 87th-minute red card.
England were given an almighty scare but perhaps that will jolt Sarina Wiegman's into life against Colombia, who are making just their third appearance at a World Cup.
Colombia topped Group H, beating South Korea and heavyweights Germany in their opening matches before losing to Morocco.
A 1-0 victory over Jamaica courtesy of Catalina Usme's cool finish was enough to send Colombia into the last eight for the very first time.
England will enter the contest as favourites against their opponents, who are ranked 25th in the world. A semi-final clash against hosts Australia, France or Morocco awaits.

England vs Colombia in the knockout stages of a World Cup? This feels familiar… The men's side overcame Colombia in the 2018 World Cup on penalties, and now it's the turn of England's women in what will no doubt be a similarly tetchy affair.
Colombia are an extremely combative outfit and will look to suffocate England with a physical press and plenty of aggressive tackles. The Lionesses will need to keep their cool and use all of their experience to navigate their way through to the semi-final stage.
The noise at full-time in Colombia's win over Jamaica was deafening, and that was with just 27,000 supporters in attendance. Saturday's clash will be more intense at the 80,000-seater Stadium Australia and bookings look the smart play.
A 0-0 draw at 6/1 with William Hill - CLAIM HERE
Sarina Wiegman has plenty to ponder ahead of Saturday's clash, not least the absence of Lauren James. The Chelsea forward has been England's most productive player with three goals and three assists in the competition.
Aside from the 6-1 win over China, the Lionesses have scored just ONCE from open play in their last SIX matches - and that was a sublime strike from James.
Manchester United playmaker Ella Toone is likely to replace James on Saturday, but she only managed three league goals in the 2022-23 season.
Nelson Abadia's side have managed three clean sheets in their last seven, and have only conceded 2+ goals once in that run. England's struggles paired with Colombia's energetic and aggressive style will likely see goals at a premium.
