[WBA-Josh]

Awful match and two awful teams on show but England finally break their penalty voodoo. They do need to seriously improve against Sweden.

As for Colombia, the fans have been superb and they were very good in their first two matches but against Senegal and tonight, the style of play seemed to change. Gone was the high pressing possession game and it was replaced by a more defensive style. Overall I’m disappointed in how they’ve done. I think the coach Pekerman needs to retire in peace now, his reactions during the penalty shootout showed a man that could do with a break from the game.

Sweden are a big physical team so it’s going to be interesting to see how England’s players cope. They didn’t fair very well against Iceland two years ago who are similar to Sweden but maybe the players have learnt.

So the quarter finals are:

Uruguay vs France
Brazil vs Belgium
Russia vs Croatia
Sweden vs England
