Arsenal Star Goalkeeper Ospina David Says, Colombia is not afraid of England

Colombia is not afraid of England as they battle each other in the last 16 of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia according to Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina.

José Pekerman’s team were inspired by James Rodríguez before being eliminated by the hosts, Brazil, in 2014 as the Los Cafeteros clash with Three Lions
at Spartak Stadium in Moscow on Tuesday.

The 29-year-old Colombia number one stopper is confident England can be beaten to force a passage into the quarter-final of the competition.

"We are a better team than four years ago," Ospina told reporters. "We are together, more experienced and a stronger squad of players than we were in Brazil. "We have experience and good quality. Our players play in the best clubs, the best leagues, and are used to playing in matches of this size, so nothing will frighten us.

"England are a good team, but we did not mind who it was we would face. We just know we will give everything for our country and take strength from the support. "We always give everything for our country. It's such an honour to play for Colombia."

One of the most notable aspects of Colombia's campaign thus far has been their raucous fans and Ospina is certainly aware, with each match feeling like a "home game".

"The support has been incredible," the Arsenal man said. "It's been our inspiration. There are Colombians all over the world but the support here, in Russia, has meant everything to us.
"It shows the passion and belief that we have in our country. It's just amazing how many people have come here to support us.
"It has felt like a home game in every game for us. They make more noise, have more colour and we always have more supporters than the rest.
"It shows how much football means to our country. It's not pressure, it's strength for us."
