FC Schalke 04 begins life in 2. Bundesliga Friday against Hamburger SV for season opener in Germany

How is it possible that we are already into the domestic league seasons around Europe?

Someone told me because that is how time works, and it computes, so I will be happy that I can watch some soccer tomorrow afternoon.

FC Schalke 04 begins life in the 2. Bundesliga, after a horrendous campaign on an off the pitch, against Hamburger SV in an intriguing contest between two teams that will want to be back in the Bundesliga next season.

There was a COVID-19 scare around this game, but both teams should be raring to go under the lights at the Veltins Arena.

I think there are going to be some goals in this game (it is Germany, of course), and if I had to lean one way or the other, I would go with Schalke.
