Kane celebrates joining Century Club..."I wanted to leave the best memory"

Harry Kane (Bayern Munich) shot a congratulatory shot for joining the Century Club.

Kane scored multiple goals against Finland in the second Group B match of the UEFA Nations League B of the 2024-2025 season at Wembley Stadium in London, England on the 11th (Korea time).

England defeated Finland 2-0 in the first round. The team ranks second in Group 2 with six points. Greece is leading Finland 3-0 and Northern Ireland 2-0. The team is one goal ahead of England in goal difference.

Kane's 100th A match.

Kane scored the first goal at the 12th minute of the second half. He finished the pass by Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool) with his right foot. When Chelsea FC's Nhoni Madueke spilled Arnold's pass at the 31st minute of the second half, he opened the Finnish goal wide again.

It was the 10th Century Club member to celebrate joining the club in the history of English football. It is the first Century Club since Wayne Rooney in November 2014. He is the third to have scored in his 100th A-match after Bobby Charlton against Northern Ireland in 1970 and Rooney against Slovenia in 2014.

Kane scored 68 goals and 17 assists in 100 matches. Notably, Kane scored 27 goals in 35 matches at Wembley Stadium, the sacred site of English football.

"I've only seen him on TV before," said Angel Gomes (Lance), who joined the English national team for the first time. "Everyone knows what capability Kane can perform, but it's a privilege to see how he can perform all day long," adding, "He is setting an example at the stadium. I will work hard for the team. It's an honor to be with Kane."

"I wanted to make the best memory by scoring a goal in my 100th game. Of course, I wanted to win the game," Kane said. "I don't know when my performance will decline, but I want to keep pushing the envelope. I think I've shown that, and I'll prepare again by October."

TG Lab makes Dutch market debut

TG Lab has entered the recently-regulated Dutch market after securing the required certifications for both its player account management platform and iGaming/sportsbook platform.

The certification means the B2B provider can now help its long-term operators make their debut in the recently regulated market. It is also in late-stage discussions with a number of operators looking to launch in the Netherlands and leverage its localised technology suite.

The TG Lab iGaming platform has been designed to allow operators to take control of the technology and accelerate product innovation, allowing them to cut down on operational costs. This is achieved through advanced automation that replaces a great number of manual processes and activities.

Platform highlights include being able to manage multiple brands in multiple regulated markets from a single platform and the ability to add bespoke functionality based on the operator’s own needs.

Ugnius Simelionis, CEO of TG Lab, said: “The Netherlands has the potential to be one of the biggest online gambling markets in Europe and the early numbers are already surpassing initial expectations.

“Right now, we are focusing our expansion plans on the DACH region so securing the required certifications to launch in the Netherlands supports this strategy and further strengthens our presence in Western Europe where we are active in markets such as Germany and Belgium.

“We go to great lengths to ensure that our platform, products and services are available to operators in all regulated markets across Western Europe and beyond and expect to be a key player in the Netherlands as the market continues to grow and mature.”

Certification in the Netherlands comes shortly after TG Lab made its debut in Belgium and Germany. The provider already holds licences in the UK, Malta and its platform has been certified in multiple Nordic and Baltic countries.

SG to transform into Light & Wonder

Scientific Games Corporation will now do business as Light & Wonder, Inc., a game company singularly focused on leveraging technology to enable a seamless player experience across all platforms.

Light & Wonder takes a deliberate cross-platform approach to bring game franchises to players anywhere, at any time including games in land-based casinos, online and mobile and in both real money and free-to-play social gaming markets.

Light & Wonder chief executive officer, Barry Cottle, said: “We are thrilled to introduce the world to Light & Wonder, a company that will build great games and franchises that offer players a seamless experience across platforms,”

“Our powerful new strategy required a powerful new identity to distinguish us and our unique offerings and capabilities. Our new name and identity are born from our winning strategy to be the leading cross platform game company and will inspire our people to make great products for our players.”

Over the last several months, the Company has made a series of strategic moves to transform itself into the leading cross-platform global game company, including planned divestitures of its Lottery and Sports Betting Businesses. The new identity, Light & Wonder, is born out of the Company’s vision and input from key stakeholders. It also reflects the Company’s focus on creating content, hardware and systems that connect iconic titles across any place or channel.

“We already have a world-class team powered by the brightest game creators in the business and in transforming into a growth company who invests in our people and products, we will serve our players even better wherever and whenever they play,” added Cottle.

As part of this transformation, the Company’s new website featuring iGaming and land-based casino products, technology and services will now be lnwcom. This new portal to the Company offers a look at player favourite games, as well as platforms, systems, player account management and hardware.

Light & Wonder will operate under an assumed name until a legal name change is complete in Spring 2022. At that time, the Company intends to start trading under a new stock ticker it has reserved, LNW.

The reason why Kim Ha-sung's value is high... Bogaerts "It's really hard to see shortstop throu

As Kim Ha-sung (San Diego Padres) fell out with a shoulder injury, some local media said second baseman Xander Bogaerts should take charge of shortstop until Kim Ha-sung returns.

Bogaerts, however, expressed reluctance. According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, Bogaerts said, "I don't know if it's part time, but it's really hard to play shortstop throughout the entire game."

"I made a big choice in spring training and I think everyone should respect that," he said. "I did this for the team. And it's so hard to keep going back and forth."

Bogaerts spent most of his career playing shortstop. When he moved to San Diego, he insisted on playing shortstop as well. Therefore, it may not be that difficult to move back to the old position that he is used to.

However, Bogaerts virtually refused to return. Bogaerts had a hard time trying to get used to second base. He now has his form for second base, but he says asking him to play shortstop again is unacceptable.

On the other hand, Kim Ha-sung can change positions at any time. He can play shortstop today and second baseman tomorrow. Third baseman is also available. He can do his part even if he changes positions during matches on the day.

Currently, it is not easy to find such a player in the Major League.

This is why Kim Ha-sung is expected to be popular in the FA market.

Meanwhile, EDPN recently valued Kim Ha-sung's FA similar to Willy Adames' (Miladelphia Blue Jays). The value of Adames was seen as $100 million to $200 million. Although not as much as Adames, it implied that Kim Ha-sung's value was also seen as $100 million.
