It hasn't been the easiest of roads for the England National Team. But they've done enough to earn a quarterfinals spot after a shootout win against Nigeria in the Round of 16. England didn't score a goal in that game.
As a matter of fact, England has scored one or fewer goals in three of four games in the World Cup.
They'll take on Colombia in the quarterfinals. Colombia defeated South Korea, upset Germany but lost to Morocco in the group stage. However, in Round 16, Colombia escaped Jamaica 1-0. Colombia is now a top-eight team in the World Cup.
All of Colombia's games have been low-scoring. Meanwhile, England has had just one game where they score more than one goal.
And as a reminder, Lauren James got a red card in the 87th minute against Nigeria. Therefore, one of England's best players will be unavailable for this one.
Does that mean the Under is the play?
