Only at Karlsruhe’s “Das Fest” can one buy beer bottles labeled “Das Bier”. Your friendly bookie does not often drink beer…but when he does, he prefers “Das Bier”. May we all meet again together under cerulean Southern German Skies. Bleib durstig, Kumpels!

No time to update the “Hot Girl Standings” as I’ve not yet had time to review the matches. What a terrible fucking day, both in terms of the Syndicate and the so-called “Real World”. Your friendly bookie hasn’t had a day this bad all year ; ( ; (

The Good News is that I’ve opted to take a well-deserved night off. Full coverage of my debilitating losses tomorrow. Now it’s time to kick back and enjoy the U.S. Quarterfinal Match with friends.

 USA! USA! USA! 

No more Syndicate or “Slave Labor” this evening. Here are tomorrow’s lines. Spain and Italia roll upwards. Betting on the Azzuro will close after one more wager.

DAY SEVEN—PREVIEW

Italy vs. Sweden
 
  vs. 

Those who entered wagers are luck…others, not so much

THE LINE: Italy +2 Goals (rolling up hard from “pick”

Czech Republic vs. Croatia

  vs. 

Not much interest in this one. Fair enough. Hard to keep Slavs together…or apart

THE LINE: Croatia +1 Goal (holding)

Spain vs. Turkey

  vs. 

No love for the Turks, and I can’t say I blame you.

THE LINE: Spain +2 Goals (rolling up soft from Spain +1)
