COLOMBIA VS ENGLAND

England suffered to eliminate Colombia. Both teams drew 1-1 in the

knockout stages of the 2018 World Cup in Russia. In the penalty
shootout, the English won 4-3 against James' injury undoubtedly
affected the style of the team's game, which had to defend itself but had
no arguments to counterattack and only with Mina at the last minute
found the option clearer. In the back area was firm and the rival
generated little. It was a strong match that showed the delivery of the
National Team in each ball. The changes in the second half gave him an
air to assume the extension for that reason the face of James describe
the pain when he view the lost of their team and in the finally time
Colombia experimented a sensation of sadness of Colombia that said
goodbye to the World Cup leaving once again an image of struggle, self-
love and showing that it is for great things.

I personally believe that soccer is a type of religion that can bring out the
worst or the best of people by losing or winning so that there are several
depressive or intense pictures of joy and we could see it in Colombia's
game against England.
URUGUAY VS FRANCIA

Uruguay came to surprise France in the first minutes, but did not have
the necessary presence in the attack to go ahead. However, the South
American dominance was only things of the first ten minutes, because
then things were paired and the Gauls had more opportunities, although
it was a cut and hard match.

At 40 minutes, Varane nodded in the Uruguayan area and punished one

of the strengths Charrúas: football. Those led by Óscar Washington
Tabárez tried to tie, but Martín Cáceres's header was brilliantly blocked
by Hugo Lloris. The 1-0 for France was a prize for the Europeans and a
blow that Uruguay did not know how to recover.
The minutes were consumed and Uruguay did not find the way to
discount; France, on the other hand, did show tranquility when they
managed to get the goals they wanted by bringing a win to their country.
