England could consider themselves fortunate to be in this quarter-final tie after a thoroughly underwhelming performance against Nigeria. Nevertheless, the Lionesses squeaked through on penalties, but the game did do some lasting damage as one of the team’s stars of the group stage, Lauren James, and sent off for a cynical stamp on Michelle Alozi. James will be suspended for this match and will only return
if England are able to progress to the final after she was given a two-game ban.
Meanwhile, Colombia’s route to this game at the Accor Stadium in Sydney, Australia was a lot less dramatic. The South American side beat Jamaica in the round of 16 with the game's only goal coming from Catalina Usme in the 51st minute. On paper England should present a much sterner test, but the Lionesses have been far from their best at this tournament so far and are missing several key players due to injury and suspension. Colombia could upset the odds in this quarter-final.
This final quarter-final game could be the pick of the round because an underdog win is definitely on the cards. You won’t want to miss the England vs Colombia live stream, and down below we’ll show you how to watch from anywhere, and potentially for free.

How to watch England vs Colombia anywhere
England vs Colombia live streams will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?
The answer is to use a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN will let you tune into your home coverage from wherever you are — meaning that if you're abroad, you can use one of the best VPN services to watch the games live as if you were in your lounge.
Our favorite right now is ExpressVPN, thanks to its combination of superb speed, great customer service and excellent device support. It also offers a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you could check it out without having to sign up long-term.
Speed, security and simplicity combine to make ExpressVPN our favorite VPN service. In our testing, we were impressed by its fast connection times and by its ability to access more than 3,000 services in 160 locations across 94 countries. A 30-day money-back guarantee is another bonus.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.S. and want to view a U.K. service, you'd select U.K. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to ITVX or another service and watch the game.
