Schalke, in case you didn’t know, are nicknamed “Die Knappen” (“The Miners”), because the team fielded numerous players and drew many fans from the coal mine workers of Gelsenkirchen in the early 20th century. So that’s what the deal is with the lump of coal gift.

  5. Raul? Never heard of him. Who did he play for?……………… I guess we will see if he is as talented as portrayed or if he was an average player supported by scads of talent at Real.
