England face Colombia tomorrow, a rough and tough team with a teenage jewel in Caicedo now the Lionesses will need to step up

- NEIL MOXLE

ENGLAND have walked out of one frying pan at this World Cup following their nervous penalty shoot-out victory over Nigeria.

And the Lionesses will be fanning the flames of South American fire at Stadium Australia tomorrow.

With a huge ex-pat backing, a tempestuous coach, players who booted Ireland out of a friendly and then told them to eat s**** for complaining, and a teenage starlet causing chaos on the pitch, Colombia are not ideal quarter-final opponents.

They are an accident waiting to happen, a banana skin, a team you would not want to face with a World Cup semi-final at stake.

Whatever selection tactics Sarina Wiegman deploys, her players will need every ounce of their experience to withstand what will feel like an away fixture.
