Capri Island withdrawn from international operations

Capriceum Casino announced a casino sale in the UK after purchasing debt for just over $11 million under a Coventry casino lease. The casino was sold to Rank Group for $940,000. With the sale, Capriceum ended its only international operations to focus on domestic operations. Capri Island owns and operates 18 locations in the United States and has riverboat and land casinos in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi and Missouri.

"We do not expect the impact of the closure felt by our employees or customers as the property will continue to operate under the management of one of the best gaming companies in the UK," said Don Mitchell, Ireland's senior vice president.

"We have built a great facility in Coventry to take advantage of changes in UK gaming laws that have not occurred, and we have executed this agreement to substantially mitigate the negative financial impact that is expected to occur if we continue to operate the facility in the future." 바다이야기

Scouting only 7 times! Sincerely about recruiting Kubo of Manchester United

The news that Manchester United wants Takefusa Kubo is a hot issue.

"Manchester United is scouting Antony's replacement. It is Kuboda. To replace Antony, Manchester United is moving and has sent seven scouts only to observe Kubo. Most of the scouts attended Kubo's matches, and Kubo has shown good performance several times. We are also considering loaning Antony to Sociedad to recruit Kubo," the Sun said on Tuesday.

Antony, mentioned along with rumors of Kubo's transfer, is in the worst shape compared to the transfer fee. Antony, who played 62 games, has eight goals and three assists. He played in 18 games this season as well, but has no offensive point. It is simply the worst. Coach Erik ten Hag has shown unwavering trust in him, but Antony has not repaid his disappointment at all. As other resources are in the same situation, Manchester United is seeking to recruit the winger. Kubo is an attractive target.

Kubo for Real Madrid was transferred to Sociedad last summer after loan spells at Real Mallorca, Villarreal, and Getafe. He played in 35 Spanish La Liga matches last season, and scored nine goals and four assists, leading the team's attack. As the de facto ace of Sociedad, Kubo received a ticket to the UEFA Champions League. He has displayed impressive performances this season as well. He was selected as the player of September in La Liga, and has six goals and three assists while playing 16 matches in the league. 토토사이트

Spanish media also expressed interest in the news that Manchester United wanted. "Cubo has a contract with Sociedad until 2027 and has a buyout of 60 million euros (about 85.8 billion won). If Sociedad sells Kubo, Real Madrid will also laugh. It is known that he has 50% of the profit," he said, explaining the details of the contract.

Spain's Mundo Deportivo said, "The Cuban buyout is 60 million euros. Manchester United want to send Antony to Cuba for a transfer fee of 100 million euros. Sociedad can be reassured right away. Kubo is happy in Sociedad. The top priority is good teamwork with Sociedad colleagues and personal growth is important. I don't think I will immediately request renewal of contract. Even if Sociedad sells Kubo, it will be allowed only when it pays 60 million euros, which is a buyout."

Manchester United is familiar with Asian players because they have been with Shinji Kagawa and Park Ji-sung and Dongfangzhou. If Kubo comes, which has a great marketing value as well as his skills, it will be a great help to Manchester United.

Real-Barthaman Welcome, Other Big Clubs 'Declared Disappointment + Criticism'

There are numerous reactions to the European Super League ruling.

The European Court of Justice ruled on Monday that it is illegal for UEFA and FIFA to ban clubs from participating in the Super League. "It should be transparent, objective, non-discriminatory and proportionate, but UEFA and FIFA are abusing their dominant authority. The club should take into account the arbitrary nature of the club and not restrict its freedom. It does not mean that a Super League project should be approved unconditionally," he said.

The Super League was officially launched in 2021. The Super League was an independent, different competition that did not belong to UEFA and FIFA. The teams that were confirmed to participate at the time were Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool in the Premier League (PL). Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid declared their participation in the Spanish La Liga. Juventus, AC Milan, and Inter Milan also expressed their intention to participate. Bayern Munich and Dortmund, Germany's Bundesliga powerhouses, did not participate. The same was true of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), an absolute powerhouse in the French Ligue 1.

The cause of its creation was also 'money'. When the Super League is established, each club will earn huge profits. If a team with a huge fandom around the world and numerous stars plays in the league, it will naturally attract a lot of attention and capital. It was an attractive league for non-PL league clubs suffering from financial difficulties. Naturally, UEFA and FIFA strongly protested, and the participating teams' affiliated teams protested all at once. It was judged that they had surrendered to the logic of capital and turned their backs on fans related to their leagues, resulting in a tremendous backlash. The opposition was louder than expected, leading to judicial issues and some clubs leaving the Super League.

In the midst of a legal dispute, the European Court of Justice ruled in favor of the Super League. UEFA said, "The ruling has been made, but it does not imply support or confirmation of the Super League. UEFA is committed to defending the European soccer community and continuing its commitment to the wider good. It will cooperate with associations, leagues, and clubs in their respective countries to create a good European-style sports model. In the face of the threat of withdrawal from the current system, each country's laws will act as a safeguard."

UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin said, "We have no intention of blocking the Super League. We can make whatever we want, but I hope we can make the top league as soon as possible. I think two clubs will lead the league." The two clubs are Real Madrid and Barcelona, which are still members of the Super League. Cheferin said, "Soccer is not for sale."

Real Madrid President Florentino Perez, the de facto leader of the Super League, said, "This is a very satisfactory ruling. European soccer is by no means a monopoly and will never be monopolized. From today on, a club's fate is decided by its own. The club has been recognized for its right to modernize its sports and attract fans from all over the world. Today we won, and soccer is also a day of victory. Law, reason, and freedom prevailed under the pressure that we have been under for more than two years."

"The European Cup (the predecessor of UCL) is the foundation of soccer's history. Once again, we need a modernized project that will give European soccer a new momentum. A project was proposed that will provide economic sustainability to the club and excite the players. It is a great opportunity to develop European soccer and I want to say that it is the beginning of a new era. Today is the most important day in the history of soccer and sports."

Barcelona said, "I am satisfied with the ruling of the European Court of Justice. I think the Super League project is the way to a new elite soccer competition. Since its inception in 1899, Barcelona has always been a leading club in the soccer world. It has strived for a specialized structure in which everyone participates in various competitions. It was judged that the Super League was necessary for the sustainability of European soccer. It wanted a competition system that solves the problems of schedule overload and excessive number of games, regulates financial fair play, and focuses only on players and fans. We respect the function and sustainability of domestic competitions and promote meritocracy," he said, still supporting the Super League.

Clubs other than Real Madrid and Barcelona expressed different opinions. "For now, two years or eight years from now, there will be no Super League," said Javier Tebas, president of La Liga, which also includes Real and Barcelona. "Not many clubs support the Super League." Atletico Madrid said, "The European soccer community does not want the Super League. The same goes for Spain, except for Real and Barcelona. We have to protect the domestic league and agree that the team is qualified for the European Championship through domestic matches every season."

The PL Secretariat said, "This is an important ruling and we will judge its impact well. I don't think this ruling is in support of the creation of the Super League. We still deny the concept of the Super League and have consistently expressed our opposition to the separate competition that cuts off Korea and Europe," adding that domestic soccer should be the centerpiece.

After joining the Super League, Manchester United said, "Our position does not change. We are doing our best to participate in the UEFA competition. We are positively cooperating with PL fellow clubs, UEFA and the European Club Association (ECA) for the continued development of the European game."

"We are paying attention to the ruling by the European Court of Justice. However, Munich holds the same view that it will attack domestic competitions and European soccer structures. Just as the core of all leagues is in Korea, the Bundesliga's top priority is in Korea. Therefore, it is our belief and duty to put Korea first. We will focus on UEFA competitions as well. I repeat that Munich is closed to the Super League."

"We reject all Super League plans," said Naser al-Kelaifi, chairman of PSG, which includes Lee Kang-in. "We have done so since the beginning and will remain the same in the future. As a proud European club, PSG supports open competition and inclusion values, which are European model principles, and is cooperating with all European soccer officials." 스포츠토토

Leading clubs such as Dortmund, Villarreal, Sevilla, AS Roma, Leverkusen and AS Monaco have expressed their opposition to the Super League like Manchester United, Munich and PSG.

The Super League has introduced new rules despite objection by several teams. It was a new format in which a total of 64 teams participated in the event, divided into star, gold and blue leagues, played seven home and seven away games, and promoted and demoted the game through playoff stages. In order to protect players, the number of games is reduced, tremendous profit is provided to participating teams, and the game is broadcasted for free.

Since the European Court of Justice's ruling, the news about the Super League has poured out, and fans are also divided over its pros and cons. Attention is also focusing on how the ruling will affect the soccer community.

'Precious Body' Lee Jung-hoo

Lee Jung-hoo 25, San Francisco Giants, who entered the U.S. stage after receiving the highest treatment from Asian fielders, was selected as No. 1-center field.

NBC Sports in the U.S. said on the 22nd that head coach Bob Melvin, who leads San Francisco, has already planned the starting lineup for the 2024 season, and Lee Jung-hoo will be used as the first.

He signed a six-year-113 million-dollar contract. It was only natural that he would be given the starting position. Beyond that, he was effectively confirmed by the team's leadoff early on.

This shows how much San Francisco has high expectations for Lee Jung-hoo. San Francisco is counting on Lee Jung-hoo's batting as well as baserunning and defense.

Last year, hitters who took the No. 1 position in San Francisco recorded a batting average of 0.264 with 25 home runs and 66 RBIs, and an on-base percentage of 0.363 OPS 0.807 in a total of 162 games. 스포츠토토

San Francisco is unlikely to expect Lee Jung-hoo to score more than 25 home runs. However, it is not unreasonable to expect an on-base percentage of 0.363 and an OPS of 0.807 or higher.

Lee Jung-hoo recently signed an amazing six-year, $113 million contract with San Francisco and even held a grand joining ceremony at Oracle Park.

This means that San Francisco has quite high expectations for Lee Jung-hoo. A six-year contract and a contract with a total amount of more than $100 million do not come out easily.

All that remains now is for Lee Jung-hoo to prove his skills. Attention is focusing on whether Lee Jung-hoo, who dominated Korean professional baseball, will be able to show his true value in the Major League.
