The time for talk is over. Now Colombia and the U.S. will settle their differences on the field at the women's World Cup.
The winner of Monday's match in Edmonton, Canada will move on to face China in the tournament quarterfinals Friday in Ottawa while the loser will go home.
The U.S. beat Colombia in group play at the 2012 Olympics and in the last World Cup, winning each game 3-0. But the South Americans are still smarting from the last one, claiming the U.S. doesn't respect them. That led to harsh words over the last week, with Colombia's Lady Andrade predicting an upset win.
