Ambulance calls rise after England World Cup games

There was a 54% rise in Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Shropshire compared with a week earlier after Wednesday's 1-0 win over Slovenia.

West Midlands Ambulance Service reported nearly 60% more calls than average in the region after England's first World Cup game on 12 June.

Much of the rise is being put down to increased drinking.
