England (-500)
Colombia (+360)
England is projected to have the easiest path to the semifinal.
The reigning European champion takes on a Colombia side in the WWC quarterfinals for the first time.
England can draw on all of its knockout-round experience over the last few years, and it should be motivated to put in a better performance after it was forced into penalties by Nigeria.
The Lionesses will be without Lauren James due to a red card, but they have plenty of other attacking talent that can shoulder the pressure in the final third.
Any combination of Rachel Daly, Chloe Kelly, Alessia Russo, Lauren Hemp and Beth England can put a ton of pressure on the Colombian net.
Colombia will have a few chances to knock off, but it must be precise in its counter-attacking movements to do so. Linda Caicedo, who recently signed for Real Madrid, will be the key player in those movements.
England should move on to set up a semifinal with Australia or France, but Colombia can at least make things interesting if the Lionesses are not accurate in the final third, or can't create a ton of chances without James.
Prediction: England 2, Colombia 0
