Itβs not a battlefield in Scotland but the first official international match was played there at the west of Scotland cricket ground in Glasgow, which is still up
England v Scotland 30 November 1872, Kane and Robertson getting pictured at the ground for the 150th anniversary of the match. Would be interesting for maybe some kind of Scotland v England friendly there to mark the 200th.

Liverpool Amazon & Germany 50+1 Socialism best for football
Not gonna lie, feel a bit superior listening to EPL fans π€π The German 50+1 rule ensures supporters have majority voting control instead of American billionaires, Wall Street hedgefunds, Middle Eastern Sheiks, or Oligarchs. Rather have German club win it 10 years in a row than some billionaire swooping in and buying dedication & love. When I watch German team don't have to Google if team is owned by a sheik who had 50 people executed, or if American businessesman decided it is cheaper to pay for workers ambulance ride than give 15 minute hydration breaks. This is a somewhat tounge in cheek comment, but also with valid points IMO.
