Former Premier League teammates Faustino Asprilla and Alan Shearer have placed a friendly barbecue wager on Colombia's World Cup round of 16 clash with England.
"England vs Colombia in the round of (16). Should we bet a barbecue or do you fear we win? Finally the rematch of France 98, now our turn came!" the ex-Colombia international tweeted to Shearer this week.
"Bring it on!" the English former striker replied.
"If Colombia Wins you come to Colombia and cook barbeque with me, if England wins i will do the same with you in New Castle. Are you in?" Asprilla then asked in reference to the match, which will be played on Tuesday in Moscow.
The two became good friends during their time as Newcastle teammates from 1996 to 1998.

Both players were selected for their respective teams during the 1998 World Cup in France.
England beat Colombia in the group phase that year 2-0, a match Asprilla did not play because he had been dismissed from the Colombian team for criticising the head coach after a previous game.
