Hazard has already announced his retirement from the national team of Belgium. Do you still have to be able to keep playing at the Real Madrid team? I don't think we'll see the old Hazard again. He's come a long way since his injury. Or have we perhaps overestimated him by his performance and actions at Chelsea? I had actually completely forgotten that Hazard was still with real Madrid. Benzema will be fit again in a few weeks, but you still need a great striker. Lewandowsky would be another good option, but is he interested in that? Perhaps there are still players in the PL who would like to move to the Spanish league. Atletico Madrid also have to think about how they want to continue, they have not performed well in recent years after their championship.

Of all competitions, the levels of England and France are the closest to each other. I think France is a better team, but England also has great players. Portugal - Morocco is a quarter final that we actually did not expect. Portugal has a very favorable draw so far. They had little opposition in the group stage, and Switzerland were also completely outplayed with a 6-1 sweep. Morocco may not even have such a bad team. Just think of Ziyech from Chelsea, Mazraoui from Bayern Munich and Hakimi from PSG, for example. All players at the best clubs in the world. Portugal has many more of these players, but Morocco has impressed and amazed with their mentality.

Bayern is a very wealthy club with a very sound financial policy. Basically, they can keep any players they want. They also don't let players go easily. Lewandowsky did leave last season, but that must also have had to do with his age. They handled that reasonably well with Mane. And Sane has also come over for that from Manchester City. I don't know if they plan to get more players, but they already got de Ligt in the summer, which was also a good reinforcement. It doesn't matter who they play with, the B team is also so good that they easily become champions.

What do we all think of the goalkeepers? The Cameroon goalkeeper has left a great impression in the group stage for the suspended Onanan. And goalkeeper of the Netherlands, Noppert, saved the Netherlands in the match against America and only conceded 1 goal in 4 matches. That is also good and he has made many great saves. I think that after the World Cup many players will be eligible for a nice transfer. Most eyes will be on Ronaldo to see what he will do and what his salary will be.

There is much more pressure on Barcelona than on Real Madrid. If Madrid don't become champions this year, no one will be upset about it. Madrid has achieved many great successes nationally and internationally in recent years, which have built up a substantial buffer for a few years. And are also still active in the CL. Barcelona should actually become champion, or at least win the cup. But the national championship is more highly regarded than the Copa del rey. At the moment it is equal between Barcelona and Madrid, but if 1 team falls out of shape, the backlog can quickly add up.

In any case, we get nice quarter-finals in most cases. Morocco Portugal would be the least, but what about Argentina - Netherlands and England - France? Those are high quality games. Everyone thinks Argentina is the favorite with Brazil, but Argentina and Brazil could both go out in the quarterfinals. Croatia and the Netherlands are both very strong opponents and have 2 great midfielders in the form of Frenkie de Jong and Modric. Ronaldo is starting on the bench tonight.

A beautiful game from Brazil. People will now see Brazil even more as a title favorite, but we also have to be realistic and come to the conclusion that South Korea does not exactly have a star team. We have to wait until Brazil plays against Croatia in the next round, then we can give a good opinion about this team. Brazil has not won the world championship for a long time, and Croatia is a country that you can also trip over. Perhaps Modric is the best player on the whole field in that game. But Brazil in total naturally has more quality.

If you win large amounts of money, the chances are quite high that they will want to reject you to a certain investigation. 128k is also a decent amount, I understand that they want to do a verification. And the KYC doesn't seem that strange to me if you win such amounts in the end. And if you eventually get the money deposited, that doesn't seem like a problem to me. I think that providers are also bound by certain laws and regulations, but there will also be gambling sites that do not feel like paying out such large amounts at all and then they could of course pull out the whole box of tricks to extend the payment as long as possible to set.

Little spectacle seen at the moment at England - Senegal. It will take some time for both teams to get going. Senegal is a dangerous opponent because they are physically fit. England has much more quality, but perhaps less quality than France. If you compare the vanguard of England with that of France, the big difference is the name Mbappe. England has Kane, but he is of a lower and different level than Mbappe. Mbappe can shoot France to the world title and has already won tonight. England will have a hard time against Senegal tonight I suspect.

How would the F1 drivers actually enjoy themselves in these months? They have quite a lot of free time now, because the season will not start again until around March. Vacation and being free is nice, but eventually you have had enough of that. And you can't just go racing in a car, it's not like football that you train for an hour. Perhaps they spend a lot of time on the simulator and go to the gym regularly. What can we expect from Nick De Vries next season? Would he get another chance at Mercedes or will it be Hamilton and Russell?

The 7 best teams in Italy are now at the top. The top has become very broad in this competition. Too bad for Atalanta that they have dropped so far, they are normally known for their stability. Verona, Sampdoria and Cremonese are having a very difficult time and are clearly the weakest teams in this league this season. Sampdoria has a big name, but you can't make it with a big name alone. I don't know what exactly went wrong with this team. For years in the 90s they were among the best teams. Other teams have actually only gotten stronger, but other teams also have a much bigger budget these days it seems. Juventus also has a huge budget, but in the end has also disappointed the last 3 seasons (this one more).

Manchester City has had a great draw with RB Leipzig now. Then Bayern Munich and PSG have a difficult draw against each other. It was also sensational that Benfice finished first in the group, and who would believe that they managed to win by so many goals? Presumably the next round will be the final station for Benfica. And what can we expect from Liverpool - Real Madrid? Last season's final was pretty boring, and Liverpool just couldn't get into their game. Madrid actually won this game quite easily, having been knocked out for 99% 3 games in a row before. Benzema then saved the title.

As expected, France advanced to the next round. But against England they will have a tough opponent. They didn't play badly, but they can and should play much better football. It will be a hell of a job to match the world champion's victory, Brazil and Argentina seem stronger than ever and you haven't won against England just yet. That's a match that will probably go right up. But France might feel the miss of Benzema.

You can play blackjack in different ways and also approach it in different ways. you could say you have a certain advantage or disadvantage that as a player you have to say that you want to continue or fold if you have 15. The bank always has the advantage because if he has 16 with 2 cards then he has already won, while if you have 16 you would actually fold yourself. I'm certainly not a blackjack specialist, but it seems to me to be one of those games where you as a player have a fairly large statistical disadvantage.

In the past, people came into contact with gambling by playing on a slot machine in a casino, or on a fruit machine at a chip shop. Nowadays it will mainly be an online casino, the threshold to gamble there is very low and if you have a lot of crypto you can also easily deposit money without running into limits. A first experience with gambling is different for everyone, some lose the same while others are more lucky and that way they actually gamble more and more.

Argentina showed today that it is the favorite to win the tournament together with Brazil. Messi is of course very good, but this team has more quality than just Messi. they also have very strong players in midfield and in defense. And then Di Maria is also injured. Messi was in good shape today, and in the Netherlands they do not have the toughest opponent of the tournament. Didn't watch the semi-finals, but I think Argentina has a very nice draw at the moment.

Real Madrid has been after Mbappe for a few years, hasn't it? PSG has had a stronger team for years, but Real Madrid is the team that has won the CL no less than 4 times in the past 7 years. PSG can't argue with that. I don't know if Mbappe still wants to go to Madrid. When Zidane was a coach, he wanted to have him but then the asking price was too high, I think I read. And now Benzema is injured, I don't know to what extent that will affect the 2nd half of the season in 2023, but the injury was not very light either, since he has to miss the entire World Cup. Barcelona and Real madrid have to come out of the winter period well, if you perform a few games less than the championship is already gone to the competitor.

There are different types of platforms where you can go as a gambler. But it also depends on what your preferences are and what you like to do. For example, you may prefer a casino, but others want to bet on sports competitions. And there are also sites that have a very low limit to bet on, of course you should avoid those kinds of sites as a high roller. And if you come from a country, you should always check the terms and conditions, since not all countries are always allowed everywhere. This is to prevent you from not being able to have your credit paid out.

Cody Gakpo has scored in all matches at the World Cup so far. And he has already managed to score some nice goals. Perhaps it is good for PSV that they have not yet sold him in the summer, because now his market value will have risen considerably due to his goals scored and especially the way in which he has been scored. So big clubs can probably sign up for Gakpo after the World Cup. What do you think he could bring in the current market? I think you have to think of a price tag of around 60 million at least, and he can probably only get better and then leave for a team like Manchester City or PSG, Real Madrid.

Let's not forget that asking for KYC can also put off many customers. I think most people don't have much of a problem with providing this info, but it's more about how gambling sites handle the data. If you wanted to be honest, you should do a KYC the moment someone creates an account on a site. Then you also know for sure that you will not get into problems with a double account and you can destroy those kinds of accusations.
