One of the reasons the Scots follow the news so closely is because Scottish football is buying books about football. In Europe, only Albanians more than Scots watch matches involving club teams. Football is the passion of many Scots, and for them it is truly a national game, which golf could not become to buy goods for sports and recreation. One Scottish football coach even said: “It is generally accepted that football is a matter of life and death. I declare responsibly: football is much more serious. ” And during international matches, when the Scottish team plays against England, the Scots turn into violent nationalists; they seem to be reliving the battle of Bannockburn when the king of Scotland Robert Bruce defeated the English army of Edward II, or the battle of Flodden, in which their ancestors were defeated by Henry VII.
