Hallo Syndicate Members,
Know that you belong to a very exclusive club. Your friendly
bookie has zero interest in the “Super Marketing Majors” invading his
Storefront with their half-baked plans for “Social-Media-Based Advertising”
targeting “Young and Affluent Facebook Users”. Your friendly neighborhood
syndicate advertises not. We’re a tight-knit family with a “Fight-Club
Mentality”. We place underground bets, phone up, and exchange “Schwag Packs”.
The Shadows are our home…and we’ll run the Shadows together.
Anyone troubled by a mild sense of déjà vu? Yes…I just ran
the exact same opener from the wee hours of yesterday morning. Syndicate
brothers need the remainder of their Round Three Lines, and they need them
posthaste. No time to execute clever turns of phrases. We’ve business to attend
to. Let’s complete the sordid tale and address the next three groups, beginning
with the other two matches kicking off tomorrow.
Tuesday, June 21st
Czech Republic vs. Turkey
vs. 
Plenty of pop left in the aging legs of the Narodak. Rumors
of their descent into that gentle good night were greatly exaggerated. They’re
more than a bunch of old fogies after
all. Nevertheless, I refuse to believe that Terim and my tenacious Turkmen will
simply lie down.
Your friendly bookie wishes to hit his button
UPSET ALERT!!
THE
LINE: Turkey +1 Goal
Croatia vs. Spain
vs. 
It’s shaping up to be an epic battle between Good &
Evil. Redeem yourself, La Roja! Put these sick puppies to sleep. They’ve worn
out their welcome. Send them down the Road Home. They can use their obnoxious
flares to light the way.
Wait a sec…Should both Spain and Turkey win, the Croats are
virtually assured of a place in the Knockouts. FML.

Iceland vs. Hungary
vs. 
Just Kidding!
Iceland vs. Austria
vs. 
The clock must strike midnight for Cinderella sooner or
later. The Burschen have too much talent to just lock in away in the basement
and…alright…we’re done with that riff. ; )
THE
LINE: Austria +2 Goals
Hungary vs. Portugal
vs. 
Ronaldo may not know how to control his mouth, but he has to
figure out how to find his own feet eventually. I’ve confidence that he went
over his game-winning set-piece at least twelve times in his own mind during
his six-hour-long pre-match hair appointment. I doubt the Navigators will fully
get into gear against one the tournament’s hottest teams, but they should win.
THE
LINE: Portugal +1 Goal

Italy vs. Republic of Ireland
vs. 
The Guineas have already booked passage to the Round of 16. For some unexplored reason, they opted to do it legitimately this time. No diving from the “floppin Wops”. Conte may opt to press the “Cruise Control” button on this one, affording the “Boys in Green” a fabulous opportunity to earn a draw and keep their slim hopes alive.
Maybe your friendly bookie attempts a clever ploy to exploit
both sides. In any event, get your wagers in early.
THE
LINE: Pick em’
Sweden vs. Belgium
vs. 
Not terribly convinced the argument that Ibrahimovic will leave it all on the field in one of the most important battles of his professional career. He’ll likely be looking ahead to the upcoming season at Old Trafford, conserving his energy. The Belgium juggernaut has awakened. They’ll overpower ye olde “Swedish Steamroller”.
THE
LINE: Belgium +1 Goal
