Arsenal goalkeeper Ospina hails Colombian support

Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina has hailed the Colombian support during the World Cup.

The South Americans are expecting 40,000 of their fans to be in Moscow for Tuesday's last-16 clash with England.

Ospina said: “The support has been incredible – it's our inspiration. There are Colombians all over the world and they are here for us.

“It has felt like a home game in every game – they make more noise, have more colour and always have more supporters than the rest.

“It shows how much football means to our country. It's not pressure, it's strength, because we know they support us."
