Why you should back England
With the United States eliminated, the betting market believes England is the favorite to win the tournament. The Lionesses have finished in the top four in the last two Women's World Cups and won the European championship in 2022, defeating Sweden, Spain, and Germany along the way. England have lost only one match in well over two years, and the qualifying run to the World Cup was utterly dominant with a combined score of 80-0 across 10 matches.
England won the only previous matchup against Colombia at the 2015 Women's World Cup, and manager Sarina Wiegman has a loaded roster with tremendous balance. England have allowed only one goal across four matches in the tournament, and the only goal was yielded in a five-goal blowout victory over China. Six players have both scored goals and generated assists in the tournament, and England's roster has strength and depth at every position. See which team to pick here.
Why you should back Colombia
Colombia's run is a tremendous story, with the team reaching the Women's World Cup quarterfinal for the first time. The squad deploys a charging, aggressive style, and have yielded only two goals across four matches. Colombia defeated Germany in a stunning upset during the group stage before a 1-0 win over Jamaica in the Round of 16. Catalina Usme scored in the 51st minute to win that match, and Colombia's roster has intriguing depth.
Colombia also stands to benefit from England's potential shortcomings. Star forward Lauren James will miss the match after a red card in the 87th minute against Nigeria, and James is leading England with three goals and three assists in the tournament. England's offense also struggled in the Round of 16 win, needing penalties to hold on for the victory, and the club was already missing Beth Mead and Keira Walsh due to injury.
