No English player is world class
But Wayne Rooney scored against San Marino, so...
Age doesn't really matter. Sometimes a player - having played at a lower level early on in his career - simply has more miles on the clock when they get to 29/30. Other players, who maybe make their debut at 16 and rely on blistering pace or brilliant technique (Walcott, Rooney, Owen etc.) sometimes suffer injuries because they've been exposed to too much football too early.

If he was world class he wouldn't have needed to score for 10 games in a row before anyone asked whether he was world class.
Edit oh ,on the way to world class?
Well,the poster who pointed out he's 29 has already answered that surely?

Strikers are judged on goals, so if he starts scoring goals, people are going to make the world class comparisons.
Antonio di Natale didn't become world class until he was in his thirties, so the age argument is nonsense.

He isn't world class and he will never be world class.
Obviously he's a good player, he's got great pace, is tidy with the ball at his feet and is a good finisher, but there's a big gap between good and great, and he doesn't cross that gap.
He's extremely lucky that he's playing in a system that suits him perfectly, a system where they are constantly looking for the ball that will allow him to stretch his legs to get behind his defender, and he is the focal point for the entire team.
Put him in a different club, where he'll have to play in a different way, and he's just another player rather than being the most important player on the pitch, and I would put money on him looking nowhere near as good as he has this year.
How many times have we seen players who have a great season for a relatively small club, be picked up for a vastly inflated price by a big team, only to go on to do absolutely nothing? Time and time again we see players who thrive in a very specific system but are exposed as being a decent, but not great, player as soon as they're expected to play in a different system.

So in other words, don't play someone to their strengths and they won't look as good? That doesn't really say anything about their quality - play Ronaldo or Messi at LB and they'd look pretty average.
11 not out. Ruud who?

Okay.
Vardy could not do this in La Liga I think we need to accept the Premier League is declining in terms of quality it is not what it used to be
Fair play to him, it's a Premier League record (much like Fowler's for quickest hat-trick) that I didn't think would be ever be broken and certainly not from Vardy (a player who only managed 5 goals last season and 20 goals in 60 games at Championship level). Ranieri deserves credit for getting the very best out of him, wonder how long he will genuinely keep it going for.

I love how after the man has scored for 11 games in a row, people are still trying to make excuses.
How about you just give him a little credit for making history and it not even being at a bloody major club?
One of the most refreshing things I've ever seen in the Premier League to date.

The PL isn't what it used to be, but how do you know he wouldn't score goals in La Liga? If Carlos f*cking Vela managed to get 16 goals and 12 assists at Real Sociedad in 13/14, I'm not going to say Vardy couldn't hack the Spanish League. Atleti, Real and Barca are a class above, but the other clubs I wouldn't be so sure on.
Costa and Sanchez were no more prolific moving from La Liga to the Prem, for instance.
