Football fever has swept this nation like never before, writes Sky's RobHarris
"We have had such a warm welcome here and we really enjoying our time here in Australia and I actually really like the people here, but that doesn't mean there's no rivalry, so we'll see that Wednesday."England are certainly in familiar surroundings now, having spent five weeks in Australia - a time that has seen every previous former champion be knocked out.
The forward said:"I think you're in those moments a lot as a striker, it's kind of what you train for. "You have a split second to take a shot and I knew I wanted to go across the goalkeeper with as much pace as I could and fortunately it went in." Resilience was demonstrated in holding onto the lead, particularly given the fervour of the Colombian support in front of more than 70,000 fans.
But there will be a wariness about facing Australia who have progressed further than ever before at a World Cup.While the England fans are already singing"Football's coming home" in Sydney, there's a long way to go to bring this World Cup home for the first time.Related Topics
