On the podcast today: Colombia beat Jamaica 1-0 to reach their first ever quarter-final, where they will face England. The panel debate how great a threat Colombia pose.

On Women’s Football Weekly today; England finally look like a side capable of going very far at this World Cup, helped hugely by an amazing performance by Lauren James.

Elsewhere, the USA struggle to a 0-0 draw with World Cup debutants Portugal, meaning they finish second in their group behind the Netherlands to set up a tough last-16 clash with Sweden.

On Friday’s WFW pod: the good news – England are on the brink of qualification for the last 16. The bad news - at what cost?! Another 1-0 win, this time against Denmark, but the sight of Keira Walsh being stretchered off in tears in the first half had us all with our heads in our hands. There was penalty chaos in Adelaide as China are reduced to 10 but found a way to win – meaning all four Group D sides could still qualify or go home on the final match day.
