Neva is a river in northwestern Russia flowing from Lake
Ladoga through the western part of Leningrad Oblast to the Neva Bay of the Gulf
of Finland. The Neva is the only river flowing from Lake Ladoga and it flows through the city of Saint Petersburg. It is a site of numerous major historical
events, including the Battle of the Neva in 1240 which gave Alexander Nevsky
his name, the founding of Saint Petersburg in 1703, and the Siege of Leningrad
by the German army during World War II. Krestovsky
Stadium officially Saint Petersburg Stadium, also called Zenit Arena, is a
retractable roof stadium in the western portion of Krestovsky Island in Saint
Petersburg, Russia, which serves as home for FC Zenit Saint Petersburg.. this
stadium is set to host today’s semi-finals of FIFA 2018.
London Ambulance Service (LAS) is a National Health
Service trust that is responsible for answering and responding to urgent and
emergency medical situations within London. The service responds to 999 and 111
phone calls, providing triage and advice to enable an appropriate level of
response. It is one of 10 ambulance trusts in England providing emergency
medical services, and is part of the National Health Service, receiving direct
government funding for its role. .. .. .. and it was in news !!
FIFA 2018 is drawing to
closure. France face Belgium while
England play Croatia in their biggest match for a generation. It is England's
first World Cup semi-final appearance since 1990 when they lost to West Germany
on penalties. An unquestionable sign of
world-class quality and international prestige, there are few better indicators
of greatness than when a player manages to score more goals than anyone else at
the World's greatest sporting event. With Eusebio, Garrincha and the original
Ronaldo among its previous winners, the Golden Boot has kept company with some
of the best footballers of all time, and it's England's Harry Kane that
currently leads the way at the 2018 Russia World Cup. Six-goal Kane has proven himself priceless,
scoring in each of the games he's played in so far, demonstrating killer
instinct and nerves of steel on his country's path to the quarter finals. Belgium's
Romelu Lukaku, currently in second place alongside Russia's Denis Cheryshev,
has done his best to keep pace with Kane by scoring four goals of his own.
French sensation Kylian Mbappe also lurks behind on three, alongside Russia's
Artem Dzyuba, and Uruguay's Edinson Cavani.
As expected, a football frenzy is sweeping across the nation as England reach the
semi-finals of the World Cup for the first time in 28-years. Gareth Southgate's
side has already broken a national World Cup record, becoming the first ever to
win a game on penalites against Colombia. In the last few days England fans
have rushed for tickets in Russia, splashing out thousands - while in London,
pubs seats sold out in seconds over the weekend, after England beat Sweden 2-0
on Saturday.
Fans celebrated England’s
win over Sweden .. .. and a woman was pictured dancing on an ambulance service
car .. social media reports identified her as Larissa Bell who had damaged the
emergency service vehicle by jumping on it along with several other yobs
following Saturday's win over Sweden. Miss Bell, 20, who says she is a waitress
at an Italian restaurant from East Kilbride, Glasgow, took it in turns with the
thugs to stand on the car in Borough, south London. Their actions meant the
vehicle, which should be helping those wounded or ill around London, has been
forced off the road for repairs. Asked if it looked like Larissa was attempting
to get off the vehicle in the photograph, the friends who saw it on social
media added: 'Yeah, and the reason that
we know that it is definitely her is that there is a picture on Instagram of
her with another girl and she is wearing the exact same outfit. Police tweeted a photo of Miss Bell wearing
pink shorts as she jumped on the car as part of an appeal to track her down.
Yesterday they revealed they
know who she is, with the tweet: 'IDENTIFIED. Many thanks to all for sharing..
Now it's our turn.' There is growing
concern around the country that some fans are taking their celebrations of
England's World Cup glory too far ahead of the semi final clash with Croatia. After
Saturday's victory over Sweden a group of supporters invaded an Ikea store in
east London this weekend and another man jumping from the roof of a
double-decker bus and smashing through the roof a bus stop in Clapham. London Ambulance tweeted: 'We're delighted
with the result, but this has put a big dampener on the celebrations for us:
while our officer attended a call nearby, this car was damaged in Borough High
Street during the celebrations after the game - it's now off the road to be
repaired.'
Meantime, Croatia defender
Domagoj Vida could face further action by Fifa following the emergence of a
second video of him appearing to shout “Glory to Ukraine!”, as well as “Belgrade
burn!”, after his country’s World Cup win over Russia. The game’s governing
body confirmed today that it was
“looking into” the new footage two days after issuing the 29-year-old with a
formal warning for breaching its rules on political statements by yelling the
first slogan in a separate clip. The former Dynamo Kiev player’s actions were
widely perceived as anti-Russian, prompting the host nation’s fans to pledge their allegiance to England in the
latter’s semi-final against Croatia on Wednesday night. Vida is a key player
for Croatia and has become even more so with Sime Vrsaljko doubtful for
Wednesday’s game with a knee problem. Decrying
the revolution as a “fascist junta”, Russia annexed Crimea and backed
separatists in a grinding war of attrition in eastern Ukraine that continues to
flare up periodically.
Interesting !
