@GeoffreyBoycott is correct.
That’s put a dampener on things because somebody told me earlier the last time it happened was 1966.

Not looking good for us here, the team who topped our group and whose reserves beat us last week are getting schooled by minnows Japan
I haven’t seen Colombia play but I believe they’re formidable. We’re going to be really up against it.

The come down is going to be cruel.
Well James be fit? Himself, Falcao and Cuadrado could destroy a back three if England line up that way - Maguire on the left will be roasted like a Colombian medium brew.
It promises to be one of the great world cup occasions.
My Colombian sources* tell me that James is OUT and Pekerman in reverting to a more defensive 4-1-2-2-1 with Quintero and Cuadrado behind Falcao. Carlos Sanchez will be patrolling in front of the back four.

They just can’t help themselves 
Are they any good without this James fellow? I’ve heard that they are formidable. What a prospect Tottenham Hotspur clubmates Harry Kane and Davinson Sanchez going head to head.
He’s a massive loss for them. Be like England losing their talisman, Harry Kane.
a midfield of Henderson, Dele Alli/Lingard and Loftus-Cheek will be absolutely rinsed here tonight. They won’t see the ball, giving Colombia a platform to launch attack after attack on a back three of Walker, Stones and Big Harry Maguire. I predict a goal in the first 10 minutes for Colombia, Followed by 2 more after the break. England to score from a set-piece
