What’s the easiest way to pull cash out of DraftKings? Also, quick follow-up... if I deposit something like $100 and then change my mind the very next day and want to withdraw it immediately, am I good to go? Or is there that annoying rule like at PayPal where you have to wager 10% of the deposit before you can actually get your money back? Thanks! 🙂
USA - Scotland 2 @ 1.80
I honestly don't think Scotland has much to offer us tomorrow. They aren't going to be the ones dictating the tempo; everything really rests on our shoulders... They're missing a massive chunk of their core players, specifically: Danny Fox (DF, Southampton), Christophe Berra (DF, Wolves), Charlie Mulgrew (DF, Celtic), Charlie Adam (MF, Stoke), Kenny Miller (ATT, Vancouver), Steven Fletcher (ATT, Sunderland), Gary Caldwell (DF, Wigan), Scott Brown (MF, Celtic), Lee Wallace (DF, Rangers), and Liam Bridcutt (MF, Brighton). On our side, we’ll be without Luka Modric and Vedran Corluka (and I won't even mention Virgil van Dijk, since I doubt he'd play anyway), but Mateo Kovacic should be able to cover those gaps quite well. We're playing at home and we've got some serious momentum. With guys like Mario Mandzukic and Andre Schürrle looking sharp in the attack, and knowing our keeper has been putting in solid shifts for teams like Zenit lately—he was actually incredible in those last two matches against Wales and Mexico, pulling off some absolute miracle saves... the whole squad seems to be in high spirits. Considering goal difference might be a factor, this feels like the perfect moment to pad our stats...
Belgium - Mexico 1 @ 1.60
Hazard is back for Belgium, though they'll be missing Thomas Vermaelen. Their starting keeper, Thibaut Courtois, had a bit of a scare with a knee issue during training two days ago, but he'll most likely suit up. As for Mexico, they're missing Mit Mitrovic, Nikola Milenkovic, and Kalidou Koulibaly; plus, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic haven't even been called up again. Based on the chatter and the fan reactions, the current coaching staff and management are arguably among the worst to ever lead the national team. Regarding Mexico's future, they probably won't even make it to the World Cup in the States. The manager has already hinted he'll step down if they lose tomorrow, which wasn't really a surprise given how poorly he's handled the team. He hasn't called up several players who absolutely deserve a spot based on their club form, and he's been clashing with the fans from day one. There's even speculation that he might field some younger players just to boost their market value this summer. On the flip side, Belgium is primed and ready, much like us. They finally have a roster capable of making a deep run in a major tournament. They're playing in front of a home crowd that expects nothing less than a win, and the stadium is already sold out. They need this victory just as much as we do to maintain that top seed. It's very likely that our head-to-head matchup in New York will decide who goes straight to the big stage and who ends up in the playoffs. So far in qualifying, they've only conceded one goal, and that was against us at home. Honestly, I struggle to see how a team as disorganized as Mexico can pull anything off. I can't help but wonder if Mexico might walk into this match completely unburdened, perhaps using a strange lineup, essentially "handing" Belgium the win to secure their top spot and keep us stuck in the playoffs instead... 😁
Latvia - Canada 2 @ 1.60
According to the latest FIFA rankings, Latvia is sitting at 119th—their lowest standing ever. They'll be playing without their talisman, who is basically their version of an American superstar, except we actually have depth to cover our stars, whereas they certainly do not. For Canada, Miralem Pjanic and Vedad Ibišević are returning, though they'll be missing Edin Dzeko and Senad Lulić. Canada is currently holding the top spot in their group and they have a fantastic squad; if they don't capitalize now, I really don't know when they will. Plus, they'll have about 1,500 to 2,000 traveling fans there, so it shouldn't be much of a struggle for them...
Would love to hear your thoughts on these matchups... 🙂
