Why you should back Colombia
The Colombians are a strong mix of veteran leaders that manager Nelson Abadia has supplemented with talented youngsters. Catalina Usme, 32, and Linda Caicedo, 18, are the embodiment of his approach, and they have three of the team's four goals in the tournament. Caicedo, who plays for Real Madrid and is a blossoming star on the world stage, scored in the first two matches. Usme, the nation's all-time leading scorer, converted a penalty for her 51st in a 2-0 victory against South Korea.
The Powerpuff Girls were disappointed by the loss to Morocco, but they held the ball for 60% of the match. Captain Daniela Montoya and Leicy Santos control the middle of the field and pace the creative attack. Colombia face a Jamaica side that hasn't conceded a goal but has given up a ton of shots. The Reggae Girlz have allowed 45 in the three games, 17 of those on target. See who to back at SportsLine.
Why you should back Jamaica
The Reggae Girlz should be confident after advancing from a group that included eighth-ranked Brazil. They held both the Brazilians and No. 5 France scoreless, and while they had just one goal against Panama, they recorded 20 shots. Only four of those were on target, but captain Khadija "Bunny" Shaw will do all she can to assure that's not an issue Tuesday. The 26-year-old Manchester City forward has an astonishing 56 goals, most on the nation's all-time list, in 38 international matches.
Goalkeeper Rebecca Spencer, 32, has a lot of experience in the English Women's Super League. She has 17 saves in the tournament. Defender Allyson Swaby is a key piece on the back end, especially on aerial duels. She scored the goal against Panama on a header off a corner kick. Jody Brown, 21, had eight goals and 10 assists for Florida State last season and has 13 goals in 29 games for Jamaica. See who to back at SportsLine.
