Anyone waking up with a bit of a sore head this morning? Well just in case you thought it was a dream...it certainly wasn't. England won a game on penalties, just that little bit sweeter for this man who 22 years ago missed a penalty in '96...we've ended 22 years of hurt, how about  52?

INJURIES

It may have been an historic evening as England won on penalties last night (yes I'm going to keep on saying it because it's never getting old), but has it come at a cost?
