Arsenal goalkeeper Ospina: Colombia players classy enough to handle England

Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina says Colombia's players can handle England in their World Cup round of 16 tie.

Ospina does not expect his side to freeze in the spotlight when they face England.

He said: "It has gone well for us so far and we feel confident because this our second World Cup together. We're a bit more experienced. Things went well for us in Brazil in 2014 and we have the same ambitions but we have also learned a lot.

"We feel we've got a good team and we're excited about what we can achieve. We've got lots of players who play at big clubs in Europe and are used to these kind of matches.

"All that I can promise is that I will give everything for my teammates, for my country, to go as far as we can. We all will."
