    If that's what they're saying outwood, but it seems odd to me. Kane looked far more battered and bruised than Vardy, but still managed to take his, Lingard was another PL striker who you'd think might/should be in front of Dier in the queue, and if Vardy was so bad he couldn't take a pen then why was he still on the pitch ? He should have been hooked with Wellbeck or Loftus-Cheek replacing him.

    I'm not complaining, it's just an observation, we won, Gareth's a hero, and that's the end of it. I just can't help feeling he dodged a bullet though.

    He was holding his groin as he ran to celebrate so I will withdraw my cynicism and wish him well. Looks like he could be out.

    I have just been reading that Vardy is doubtful for the Sweden match because he has suffered a thigh (could relate to groin) injury late in the game yesterday and he was scheduled to be a penalty taker but told GS that he was not 100% and Dier got the job.

    Trippier, Neymar and de Bruyne the three most creative players in the World Cup.

    Debruyne puts Neymar in the shade and Brazil out 2-1, joining France who put Uruguay to the sword with a little help from a keepers goof.
    So it’s now an all European competition with the big one tomorrow
    Sweden v England 3pm
    Croatia v Russia 7pm

    If the final is between France and Russia, do you think a guy called Napoleon or Putin will referee it?
