What a Game, Schalke 04 - Bayern Leverkusen 7-4.
That must be 1 of the greatest games that a fan ever can see. So much goals. I want to see it, but it's bad for the defenders of both teams, that they've let them make so much goals. But is must be a great game ..

Mahat · Candy

The popular club built a new stadium, the Glückauf-Kampfbahn, in 1928, and acknowledged the city's support by re-naming themselves FC Gelsenkirchen-Schalke 04. They won their first Western German championship in 1929, but the following year were sanctioned for exceeding salary levels set by the league and, in an era that considered professionalism in sport anathema, found themselves banned from play for nearly half a year. However, the ban had little impact on the team's popularity: in their first game after the ban against Fortuna Düsseldorf in June of 1931, established to replace the innumerable regional and local leagues all claiming top status. After many years of being dominant regionally, Schalke finally made a breakthrough on the national level when they advanced to the German championship match that year against Düsseldorf, where they lost 0:3. That advance set the team up for the most successful decade in their history: from 1933 to 1942 the club would appear in 14 of 18 national finals - 10 in the German championship and 8 in the Tschammerpokal, the predecessor to today's German Cup. lavet af g-star
