Many soccer fans said they cannot wait to see the matchup tonight as Colombia and Portugal are hoping for the top spot in their group. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a tough match. You know, they have James, they have Luis D\u00edaz down the wing. They\u2019re going to have plenty of options. I think it\u2019s going to be a close game in general,\u201d said Derek Coronado, a Portugal fan. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019ll be a good match. Colombia will give Portugal a challenge. Portugal obviously probably has a better team on paper, but Colombia, through the tournament so far, has been gearing up in every game and getting better and better. So hopefully tonight they\u2019ll pull off a surprise,\u201d said Jivan James, a Colombia fan. <\/p>\n
Miami Stadium will be loud tonight, with loyalty guiding soccer fans who want their team to win. <\/p>\n
7News spoke with a couple of soccer fans who were split on who they were rooting for. <\/p>\n
\u201cMy jersey is because Cristiano is the idol of my child, and he\u2019s from Colombia. He wants the two teams to do better today, and that Cristiano make a goal.,\u201d said a soccer fan. <\/p>\n
The Colombia and Portugal World Cup match is the fourth match Miami Stadium has hosted. <\/p>\n
Kickoff for tonight\u2019s game is at 7:30 p.m.<\/p>\n
