West Ham United goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski is convinced Colombia can defeat England in their World Cup round of 16 clash.

Fabianski's Poland were on the end of a mauling as James Rodriguez and his colleagues dished out a three-goal lesson during the Group H games.

He said: “England would have preferred to play Japan rather than Colombia.

“They are much better side, much more dangerous.

“They lost the first game against Japan but if you look at their individual qualities, the team to avoid at this stage of the tournament would be them.

“Colombia have so much quality in midfield. In Juan Cuadrado, Rodriguez - especially him - and the guy (Juan) Quintero, who is a very good player with a real confidence about himself - they can hurt you.

“That is a really high-quality midfield. They tore us apart when we played them, so I really think you have to look out if you are England.

“You need to make sure they don't get a grip on the game."
