of course it's irrelevant in a vacuum, but Schalke introduced ~5+ own-grown talents to first team football during the last 2 years which is quite rare atleast over here : ) | ||

Edit: Porto ties it up, 1:1. No they don't, the goalline ref being useful o.O. | ||

Fantastic shot by Platte, after Uchida sprints past Marcelo to lay it off for him. | ||

The population of Gelsenkirchen is about 8% of Madrid's population. You could also talk about a whole host of other factors, such as TV deal structures, football culture, language/culture influence around the world, etc. that play into how much power/money/influence a football club makes. Schalke doing anything aside from getting demolished 5-0 should be an accomplishment for them. They are in no way a European powerhouse. They've won one European trophy (Europa Cup, 96-97), three DFL Pokals in this century, and they haven't won the Bundesliga since '58. The thing that keeps them afloat and so relevant in Germany is a great youth system and a huge following inside Germany. | ||

Those numbers are just excuses. If you really are behind it you can achieve anything. Uruguay's and to some extent Netherlands are the best examples in football that numbers are just numbers. They don't stop you from anything unless you let them | ||

The strength of a national team has most to do with how popular the game is in the country, some luck with a good generation and good infrastructure. Players can't change teams after they've played one official match for their country which is the most important thing of why you can't make that comparison. Numbers are everything in today's game and that's why the semifinals of the CL is the same every year. They're not excuses what the fuck. The best players play for the team that pays the most salary and is able to buy off contracts from other teams. You can't 'buy' Robben and Messi for Germany or whatever. | ||
