Newspaper article about the match

The first match between the association football teams of Scotland and Wales took place on 25 March 1876 at Hamilton Crescent, Partick, Scotland. The fixture was organised by Llewelyn Kenrick, who had founded the Football Association of Wales only a few weeks earlier. The Welsh team was selected after trial matches were held at the Racecourse Ground in Wrexham, Wales. Scotland, the more experienced team, dominated the match and had several chances to score in the first half. They had a goal disallowed after scoring directly from a corner kick, before taking the lead after 40 minutes through John Ferguson. In the early stages of the second half, Wales attempted to play more openly to find a goal, but the Scottish side took advantage of their opponent's inexperience and scored two further goals. Scotland added a fourth through Henry McNeil and claimed a victory in front of a crowd of around 17,000 people, a record for an international fixture at the time. (Full article...)

Ulysses S. Grant

Ulysses S. Grant (1822–1885) was the 18th president of the United States, in office from 1869 to 1877. He graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and retired after serving in the Mexican–American War. When the Civil War began in 1861, he rejoined the U.S. Army and won major victories at Shiloh and Vicksburg, and in the Chattanooga campaign. After promotion to Commanding General, Grant confronted Robert E. Lee in a series of bloody battles in Virginia in 1864, trapping Lee's army in the siege of Petersburg. Lee's surrender to Grant at Appomattox on April 9, 1865, ended the war. After the war, he implemented Congressional Reconstruction. Elected president in 1868, Grant led the Republicans in their effort to remove the vestiges of Confederate nationalism, protect African-American citizenship, and support economic prosperity nationwide. In foreign policy, Grant sought to increase American trade and influence, while remaining at peace with the world. His presidency has often come under criticism for tolerating corruption and, in his second term, leading the nation into an economic depression. After an unsuccessful attempt at nomination for a third term in 1880, he completed his memoirs, garnering critical acclaim and financial success. This line engraving of Grant was produced by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) as part of a BEP presentation album of the first 26 presidents.

Possiblity for a new inclusion[edit]

I am going to add this for the 100th anniversary, which occurs this year. --Ninja Diannaa (Talk) 16:37, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A national day in Greece[edit]

I have always heard that March 25 is Independence Day in Greece. (Admittedly, I am just a second-generation Greek American.) Isn't the independence day of every nation included among the holidays and observances shown on the respective date in the On this day box? Dyspeptic skeptic (talk) 23:55, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Greece article has a section which has been marked as outdated. This disqualifies it from inclusion. howcheng {chat} 16:20, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wasn't pope Constantine "elected" rather than "selected"?
