He came on as a substitute in all four of their games in the tournament, but sadly the abiding memory of him is the penalty he had saved by Ricardo in the quarter-final against Portugal.

It is a curious fact that Vassell is yet to establish himself in the Premiership, yet he is heading off to the World Cup with a realistic chance of a starting place for England.
Sven Goran Eriksson has proved he is willing to hand a variety of players their chance and Vassell is one who has grasped the moment by scoring a couple of goals in the warm-up games, notably on his debut against Holland.
With raw pace and plenty of tricks on the ball, Vassell provides perfect back-up for Michael Owen or he could become a part of one of the quickest forward lines in this competition.

Darius Vassell loves Aston Villa, I know this as a fact and him scoring against us every time we play against his team just goes to further demonstrate what a muppet O'Leary is.
O'Leary gets rid of Vassell and Crouch for what I thought and still think was far less than they were both worth, in terms of player value and book value to Aston Villa, then both go and rub it in his face at every possible opportunity.
One goes off to play for England the Champions of Europe while the other scores against us every time we play his new team.

OR 5-0-5......I will stop here because I am still not sure, and whatever system was employed last night Baros still couldn't get round Distin, and Dunne was not going to be ''done'' by the long ball.
It was shambolic, and to add to the embarrassment of Darius Vassell scoring a simple left foot tap in (I didn't know he had a left foot, but he does against us apparently), then the genius that is David O'Leary decides to take Baros off for no apparent reason and put Gabby on.
It was almost like Baros knew he was coming off, and it had been planned before the game/or at half time that he was on for an hour and that was it.
