* ABOUT ENGLAND: Coach Glenn Hoddle is under immense pressure to start 18-year-old striker Michael Owen today.
* ABOUT COLOMBIA: Colombia must win to advance, which could be asking too much of an aging side that went more than 170 minutes without scoring before Leider Preciado’s late winner against Tunisia.
* OUTLOOK: Needing a draw to advance, England should get at least that. But barring an improbable Tunisia defeat of Romania, England will finish second in the group--setting up an unenviable second-round matchup with longtime nemesis Argentina.
