WHY I’M WORRIED ABOUT . . .

THE World Cup. As I, along with millions of others, urged the England team to victory on Saturday, I had a thought: how are the A&E departments going to cope after this?

My heart was pounding — a study has found that sports fans experience a significant quickening of their heart rate while watching their teams. Predictably, the rates peak when scoring a goal or point is likely and it’s in extra time. So come Wednesday’s semi-final, my advice would be to try to keep calm and remember it’s only a game — albeit a very important one.
