Yep, its photoshoped, used to cause some fuss back then. Not that I would not put it past him to have naked pics of him all over his walls. *shudders* Btw, as much as I find Ronaldo a silly fairy, I feel like Nereida Gallardo is just trying to get some spotlight again with her interview. I find it rather hard to believe, that the mother of his kid would talk to her, from all people.

I wonder who on this earth would label Edward "sexy" or "beast"... the blind and deaf??? DAMON of course!!!

I live in Germany, but so far I did not see any magazins with Mamen on it. I saw several with Raul and yeah, she was on it too, but not alone, as far as I can tell. If I find one featuring her, I will make sure to get it

I love it how the crowd was cheering more for Ian than for Paul LOL I like Paul, but in that show he starts to bore me, while Ians character is so much more fun to watch. And yes, I think he is waaaay hotter than Paul

I think I read that interview! He is right about Magath for sure. I would not be surprised if Schalke will actually do good this season finally. Btw Raul is very much liked in Germany, even by fans of normally rivaly clubs. I think that shows how much he did for the football and how much respect he gets from all over the country.

Was indeed nice to see him play quite well vs Bayern. Hoepfully he can and will play regular for Madrid!

Hurt my eye to see the 7 on his back in a Madrid shirt... *shudders*

Here you go : The first real superstar that Schalke ever signed. His shirt is hanging out of his jeans. He walks like a fpotballer, sloppy in a way, hanging shoulders, the left hand in his jeans pocket. Raul Gonzalez Blanco would not attracted any attention in Gelsenkirchen if only - attention girls - he would not be so damn good looking. Short, but tight handshake, a smiles, no eye contact. Raul seems shy. He is not a man of big gestures or posing. During the interview his left hand was resting on his right arm. With his rigth hand he is typing messages on his Blackberry until he realises he seems like he is nervous. He places the phone on the other side of the table. As reserved as he seems, as clear and focused he is in what he says. He does not beat around the bush, he just talks. No "ähm" no "well" and no "I would say", maybe those words do not exist in Spanish. Raul laughs a lot and he is very polite, he always sounds a bit shy. We mention his records in Madrid, record goal scorer for Real, for Spain, Raul laughs again, he almost seems embarrassed He orders "water sin Gas" and adds "still" (Thats the word he uses in German). He does not speak German yet, but he is trying and willing to learn. He says "Ssssalke" when he talks about his new home. Raul seems to be like how the stars used to be back then. No poser. An action man. A role model. Someone who shops at IKEA. If he would be wearing a beard he almost could have been born in Schalke. There is always that youngish look about him, his shy look when you give him a compliment. In those moments itseems like Raul Gonzalez Blanco is someone who just signed his first professional contract for Schalke. As if he still has something to prove.

I can´t get enough of that family! They are so cute, its even hard to handle it sometimes! Really simply adorable. Thanks for the pics of the kids at the Schalke game! LOVELY! I knew it! You are sucked in! Beauty! Can´t wait for the start of the season aswell!!! Nope, it won´t. Its Schalke.... Sorry, I had to, I am Bayern supporter

He scored in the Liga Pokal in Germany when Bayern played vs Schalke *Bayern won 2-0* so I hope he can keep performing on that high level, really.

Cris's face seems to be photoshoped,no?and is this a nike commercial? Probably it is photoshoped, as it would be a Nike Ad and Madrid wear Adidas and there is no way they would use him *as its not posisble* It looks like fanart. Yet its done very well!

On the last pic he looks cute and sexy at the same time! Liiiiike it! Thanks for sharing!

Against my beloved Bayern But congrats to him, I have the feeling he will bring LOTS of sympathy to Schalke, really. He was brilliant today again! I can´t wait for the season to start! This actually worth a signatur! I agree 100%

Or to get rid of some of the overpaid players who hardly play. I think they kinda sold the wrong ones last time when I think of Robben as Sneider, i.e. As for Barcelona, they seem to make the same mistake as Madrid did in the past and are doing it right now. As for Khedira, anyone knows what number he will get? I couldn´t find any pics.

Oh he looks really good on those last pics. He is not my cup of tea, but the pics are good. 20th of August, when the new season starts in Germany. Bayern vs Wolfsburg! Should be a damn good match Bring on the "Wölfe"

Ronaldo? Since sadly he is omnipresent *at least here in the media* its pretty hard to ignore him. Love? I very much doubt that. Highly dislike? Very much so, yes. I guess Raul will always be Madrid for me, in a way he really is, at least for that generation. I still can´t get used to him in the Schalke-blue. But I still have a whole season ahead of me to get used to that image. But as much as I love Raul, when he plays vs my team with Schalke, he shoudl better not score and upset me even more

He is just so cute and hot at the same time. Its just funny to watch that video! He is such a great guy. At least that is how it seems Thanks for those pics and the video. Btw, is it just me, or does he really have to shave? I don´t like him with a beard.

Oh how humble of Kuranyi. *rolls eyes* That guy, really. I think they found a great replacement for him by Raul and he knows that. So what else is there left to say really? If they give Ronaldo the 7 shirt they make it really hard for me to follow them... but I for once can´t just stop following thme with at least half an eye I am sure Chic won´t turn away totally aswell

He looks rather happy. I saw an interview with him last night and he seemed really pleased and all. He said he would like to learn some German too! Awww, how cute! I would looove to hear him speak a bit of German!

Oh I really hope sooner or later it will be on Youtube! I would really LOVE to see this. Even if I would not understand a word, I guess

I said it once, I say it again. Without the fake bleeched teeth and the tan, the straightend hair and the worked out body he is nothing. He probably still looks like this when he wakes up in the morning LOL

Khedira is a class player, he was great for Germany and Stuttgart in particular. I still think its gonna be a tough task for him. Yet he is young and he has the will and talent to make an impact. I will keep my fingers crossed for him and wish him all the best for his time at Madrid. I will miss him at Stuttgart You mean not like Barcelona, who can´t pay their players anymore?

I did not know that. I thought it was like its in Italy i.e. Or with the Portuguese NT they did not give Figos 7 away for all the preparation matches and stuff, just when they had only the liminted 23 numbers they gave him the 7. Scolari said *back then* it was his way to pay tribute to the character Figo was for the NT. Which was well deserved, imo. As you already mention. Ronaldo is such a wrong move to hand on the shirt. I think other players deserve it more. Ronaldo makes the most money, no question. And his oh so amazing *puke puke* fashion and icon shit CR7 will be all fine with that. But really, he will never live up to that expectations. I do not care how many goals he will score, he will never be even close to that legends, hero and charasmatic person that Raul was/is on AND off the pitch! Boy, that will give his ego some boost and then he probably will believe he rules the world. Undeserved. Totally.

I can only agree with you two girls! I am sooo mad! Yes, it might be just a number and I can already see all those wannabe Madrid Fans buying Ronaldos shirt which will make me wanna throw up every time. Raul have his heart and soul to this club! To me he is and always will be a huge part of it. And now that guy walks in and is all "Well of course I will wear it." WTF? As you said, its not even the "It would mean so much to me" or stuff. NO its like it was clear all the damn way! Which - to me! - it was not. Madrid always said they would retire the number 7. I just really can´t understand that. Raul is a such a fantastic player, hero and legend for the club! How can you just hand it on to someone else like that? Its shocking really. Of course that would sell millions of shirts, but really, the true Madrid fans will not buy that shit. Its Rauls number and should always be like that! And as for Ronaldo: just because Raul said Ronaldo is a hard worker and all, it does not mean that he saw him as his heire (is that the word?) I mean, please. Ronaldo said he loves Man Utd and that his blood is red like the club and all that shit. Then he comes to Madrid and says the same shit. I would not be surprised if he will not end his career there. Stupid moneywhore! Perez: you are a disgrace to the face of football aswell!!!!!

If he really said that he should jut go and shove himself uo, really... its annoying! Raul is a Madrid LEGEND! Nobody would dare to ask for Maldinis number at Milan, no matter what! And now Mr. perfect eyebrow walks up after just ONE season with Madrid *sure he scored goals, but Madrid did not explode with him winning titles or anything...* If the club really kicks Rauls numbers with boots and hand the 7 over to him, thats if with me and Real Madrid. Really!
