It turns out his racist abuse of fellow casino patrons isn’t the only “old school” thing about England hero Jamie Vardy. The Leicester City striker, who came off the bench to spark England’s comeback against Wales, has discussed his unhealthy practices after being pictured with a Red Bull and a tin of smokeless tobacco at England’s training base in France.

Belgium very nearly murdered Shane Long
Belgium recovered from a poor performance against Italy to beat Ireland with three goals and Shane Long with everything they could throw at him.

Andrea Barzagli helps save a ladybug on the pitch
Prior to Italy’s match against Sweden, Andrea Barzagli spotted a ladybug on the pitch as he warmed up. Most people wouldn’t think twice about a little bug in the grass, but Barzagli takes his job as a defender very seriously.
Croatia fans throw flares on the pitch, halting match against Czechs

And when Cristiano gets frustrated, he smiles. A lot.
Austria lose to old man wearing sweatpants
Austria became a popular dark horse to win Euro 2016 after their undefeated qualifying campaign, but that has come to an end after losing their first match of the tournament to a lowly Hungary side that started the oldest man in the history of the competition — 40-year-old sweatpants wearing goalkeeper Gabor Kiraly.
