Aus 7.5 point favourites from what I’m looking at.

Slovenia is 3-0 vs Australia 2-1, but Group F was a joke.


Australia was favored by 5.5 at tip. I fired up Slovenia. I believe in Luka!


LOL looks like gambling sites are gonna lose money on this. Slovenia outclassing Australia so far. It's not even a contest.

Slovenia's got the euro tricks too. That offensive foul was pure theatre.

Cooks beats up on midgets in the nbl and Japan the last game and can’t do a single thing here when it matters.

This will be a wake up call for Australia. Pick the right players and play the right players.

Reminds me of 20 or so years ago when they refused to play Simon Dwight, who was a star.

Australia has a trove of young guards but where are the big guys?

Luka did everything right except not fouling, now there's a chance of momentum shift...

Slovenia really following Luka's lead and whining like little babies all the time. If I didn't know better I would be under the impression I'm watching some ****house soccer match featuring Atletico Madrid.

To whatever extent it's true that a team takes on the personality of its best player/leader, Slovenia is too emo and foul baiting in the whole.
