The round-of-16 World Cup fixture between England and Colombia is anticipated by football fans all over the United Kingdom. However, some of them, particularly in Scotland, feel conflicted about their 'fan endorsement' of the England team.

Gareth Southgate's team has been hailed following their 6:1 victory against Panama, which saw the Three Lions pass the group stage — one step closer to realizing the dream of England fans. The backing of the team by supporters at home has hit an all-time high, fueling nation-wide confidence that "football is coming home."

However, the team's success so far, has left some Scotsmen conflicted about their feelings over England winning the championship. 

With the quarter-final place at stake, the England team will face Colombia at Spartak Stadium in Moscow at 19.00 (BST).
