Schalke's stadium at Gelsenkirchen is, not to put too fine a point on it, magnificent. The roof closes, the pitch rolls outside so it can get proper light and rain to ensure the grass grows properly, and the noise with the roof shut is astonishing. Add to that the fact that Argentina scored six good goals - including one absolute cracker - and I left Gelsenkirchen with happy memories of the stadium.
The loos were impressive, too, both in quantity and quality.
Six cubicles one side...

...and six on the other meant not a queue in sight, even at half time.

Inside, they were clean, spacious and had lots of loo roll.

Score: 8.5/10. Top stadium, top loos, top match!
